This week i read a blog by Joe Brooks. This blog is titled "Monday morning blues." Joe woke up at his normal time and began a normal day of writing in London. The trip is about a four hour round trip train ride. This is a normal day for Joe, combining his music with business, which are two of his favorite things. He decided to play his guitar before he left just to practice new ideas for some of his songs. His throat was hurting and he decided to stop before he made it worse, but then as he was putting his guitar down, a string snapped. He had no replacement for it. By then he could just tell it was "one of those days." Then he left to catch the train just like every other day, but this would turn out to be no ordinary day. As Joe was getting on the train he just had a gut feeling that something bad was going to happen. Something just felt strange, and not right. As they got to the second stop he was reading e-mails and trying to get some work done, when all of the sudden a lady screamed and then started shaking and crying. Joe looked up and saw bloody flesh and the debris of an elderly man. The man had calmly walked in front of the train in order to end his life. Joe couldn't move when he saw what had happened. He froze and couldn't speak. Millions of questions flooded his brain about why he would do this. The emergency services came and they found out the man was 75 years old and the train had been traveling at 90mph. This really made him realize how life can be so easily taken for granted and how he will try his best to live life to the fullest. I agree with him, because many people take life for granted, and don't realize that it could be ended at any time.
