You had no idea what was going on.

Motto had a patient who committed suicide from the Golden Gate in 1963, but the jump that affected him most occurred in the seventies. “I went to this guy’s apartment afterward with the assistant medical examiner,” he told me. “The guy was in his thirties, lived alone, pretty bare apartment. He’d written a note and left it on his bureau. It said, ‘I’m going to walk to the bridge. If one person smiles at me on the way, I will not jump.’ ” 
 
Good read.

It's strange. As incredibly depressing as that is in regards to the human race...something about these suicides sounds beautiful. Despite, you know, the organs going to mush and everything...the way the fall sounds...

It was a very good read actually. And eye opening indeed. It brings to light the stupidity of people though...
