The policeman and the suicide

The policeman and the suicide
Enlight

One man was about to jump off a bridge when a policeman ran up to him and shouted:

- Wait! Please don't jump! You are still so young, you have your whole life ahead of you. Why do you need this?

“I’m sick of life.”

- Wait, listen to me. If you jump into the water, I will have to jump too to save you. Understand? The water is icy today, and I recently suffered from double pneumonia. Do you understand what this threatens? I simply won’t survive, and I have a wife and four children at home. You can't live with such a burden on your conscience! No, you can't do that. Listen to me. Well, be a good guy. Repent and God will forgive you. Come home. And hang yourself there as much as your heart desires!
