The Tree on the Side of the Road
I am an amateur video creator with a channel on YouTube ( Dawnian Productions ). I have just uploaded a short video on suicide, male suicide in particular. It's called, 'The Tree on the Side of the Road' . I have a Christian faith that informs everything I do...which is why I concluded in the short video, that the person described (purely composited fictional), realises that he is profoundly loved by his Creator. This got me thinking about the taking of a life and what the 'taking' of a life really means. The taking of a life, any human life, is a deeply grieving, troubling reality. As I reflect on the society in which I find myself, I am greatly saddened by the indifference to life that I witness. I am not talking about murder or even abortion of new-borns, but about the preciousness and inherent God-given value of all human life...from the beginning of life to the sunset of one's life. How do we treat each other? How do we speak to each other? Are we respect...
