In 2005 I needed help and a friend of a friend, whom I have never seen, offered to help. Later, I sent him a thank-you e-mail and he replied with a nice courteous message in that refined language of a lawyer.
Last week I went through my old e-mails in the store file in order to get rid of the unnecessary ones, and there I found his message. Out of curiosity I asked my friend about his news, and I received this message:
Someone I have hardly known committed suicide somewhere sometime ago. All what connected us was a friendly gesture and a will to help. I felt saddened. It takes huge despair to commit suicide. Huge courage as well.
In his message he wished someday we meet either in Paris, Brussels or Cairo. Now we only have a fourth option, if ever there is such an option.
