Question #2
So, last week I asked what the most horrid moment in my life was. At first I wanted to say when I saw Rudy at that party, but honestly that places much too much basis on my almost creepish obsession with her, and it wasn't nearly as bad as the day my mother left me at school.
I was nine. She didn't show up for an hour, so I tried calling Dad, and he didn't answer the phone. I waited for six hours until Aunt June came and got me. She told me Mama had tried to kill herself and she and Dad were at the hospital.
The first question I asked Aunt June? "Why would anyone want to kill themselves?"
Incidentally, that was the moment that I decided to go into psychology. I've learned there's so many answers to that question. My mother didn't want to die a soulless, mindless shell of a person.
She never got her wish. As Dante's trees were all soul and no body, so it's the opposite on Earth. Your perfect contrapasso, perfect irony, my dear poet.
Well, that got me into a sad mood. On an upbeat note, next week's question will be "what moments stands out to me as the best in my life?"
