Gentlemen it is a sad day we have lost one of our own.
His name was Reece he was one of the very few people I could call a true friend.
He was 26 years old and last Saturday the 11 of July he took his own life, he lost his fight with depression.
The people at his place of work had heard him say what he was going to do and thought it was a joke.
Can someone pls explain to me what the hell is going on in this country the Australia i know is not a dog eat dog world but a country where mates get behind one another a country where u wouldn't drive past someone broken down on the side of the road a place where if u saw someone in trouble u would do what u could to help out.
Over the last couple of years I have noticed people's attitude getting worse and worse we are becoming a nation of self absorbed people and the level of selfishness and the pass the buck don't give a **** attitude has reached what can only b described as a crises level epidemick.
I'm writing this not to wine or for sympathy but in what is probebly a vain attempt to try n get people to wake up and pay attention.
Look around u and remember that thing called humanity.
Pay attention to the people around u and if something doesent seem right don't say not my problem act lend a hand or least point someone in the right direction.
When is the last time u called that mate u haven't seen in years, or fired up the BBQ in the shed on Friday arvo and had a chat with ur staff just to see how they might b going.
If we do nothing the problem only gets worse.
I say change the facts b proactive about things chat to ur mates and colleges and remember words like
Compassion
Kindness
Caring
Understanding
Remember those old values and keep them alive if we do not then mankind as a whole is lost.
If we do then there is hope and senseless tragedy's like this might b avoided.
It is with a heavy heart that I set fire to Reece tomorrow and the automotive mechanic industry looses one of its finest tradesmen.
Trusted friend respected college and protector of my kin when I was away u will b missed.
Rest in peace
