R U OK Day

Today, Australia has launched the "R U OK" day.

It is to highlight the many cases of suicides that had occurred over the years.

The intent is to prevent anyone from considering suicide by just being concerned about the people around you, by just asking a sincere question of how they are doing.

A simple question like "R U OK" and just taking the time to be present and listen to them would perhaps be the very thing that a depressed person needs to stop him from taking the drastic step of ending his life.

So, take a minute to ask your friends, family and acquaintances if they are OK. Be genuinely interested in them and really be there for them.

Help your fellow man and prevent the senseless loss of a beautiful human being from taking their own life.

Life is beautiful - live it fully.
