Because all you're doing is, is passing on the pain that you have and amplifying it to the people that care about you around you.

Like you are literally tossing that off.

And it is, there's nothing, I mean, let me ask you something.

Would you all, if I had told you, and if I had told you that I surrendered to the enemy, would you all like respect me?

I know you wouldn't, you wouldn't, you wouldn't respect me surrendering or quitting to the enemy, would you?

Right.

So, well, I mean, is the ultimate surrender.

And so, you know, it's a hard one to talk about because none of us, none of us wanted you to do that.

And like, it doesn't make sense.

But until, until we say that and go back to that,

People are going to continue to do it and they're going to see it as an acceptable route.

They're going to see it as an acceptable way to handle their pain, right?

And instead of going to get help.

Yeah.

And I, and I think the thing we have to talk about is like, if you are a human being at some point that the idea of or the thought will cross your mind, like it, that is a normal thing.

Like that is a, it is crossed everybody's mind, but

At some point, like taking action on it is where it is, where it doesn't become normal and it becomes a thing that you need to get help for.

Right.

And it's a it's a tough one because, you know, I've lost I've watched some of the hardest men, some of my team leader was one of the biggest badasses that I had knew.

But, you know, I mean, he took his own life, right?
