More than a second chance...

There is a couple that I know; the lady is on a wheelchair and the man who never leaves her side. I found out that they've just lost their son. And, what strikes me is that it was not caused by a disease or an accident. The son took his life... Knowing that fact makes me really angry. A coward. Didn't he realise what he put his parents through ? If he felt liked he was a complete failure, why didn't he try to repair it ? Isn't that what life is all about; there's always more time to learn from mistakes and become a better person. Wasn't his life worth to be filled to its fullness ? There must be something wrong with the society nowadays because it only measures someone successfulness based on his achievements. In my point of view, someone is a hero if he has a courage to stand up everytime he falls. Eventhough he fails at the end, at least he will not regret of giving up his dreams before he really tries. At least, he faces the reality and moves forward. That, my friend, is a difference between a hero and a coward.
