  58. The strongest reason to stay alive is that no one knows what the future will bring. There may be some bad things you have to deal with, but there will be many truly wonderful things, things you never expected or imagined, but will really love. And these things will only unfold in their own time.
  59. Another reason to stick around is to spare others the grief and guilt of being survivors. No one who has a friend or relative die like that ever completely gets over it. Why cause PTSD for someone else, especially our family?
  60. Our pets. They love us and need us.
  61. To avoid violence. Suicide is not a peaceful escape, it is an act of violence. It is strange that people that would never hurt another person ever, can contemplate hurting themselves. To reject hurting oneself is to affirm peace in this world.

  76. Lord Of The Rings III should be out sometime after that, then there's Episodes
