911 Operator: This is the 911 Hotline. What is your emergency?

Suicide Victim: I am a suicide victim. I just shot myself.

Operator: Hold the line. We're tracing your number right now. We'll have someone there to help you shortly. How bad are you hurt?

Victim: I'm not hurt. I'm dead. My suicide attempt was successful.

Operator: That can't be. You're talking to me right now. You couldn't be talking to me if you were dead. Just tell me how bad you're hurt and where you are.

Victim: You'll figure out where I am soon enough. I can talk to you because this conversation is the sole purpose of my life. My life was meaningless until this conversation, that's why I ended it.

Operator: What you're saying is delerious. Just hold the line and keep talking to me. How did you shoot yourself? Can you tell me how bad you're hurt? What is the physical address where you are?

Victim: I told you that doesn't matter. I am already dead, you'll see that fact soon enough. Just listen to me. There's something important I need to tell you, and this conversation will be finished in 15 seconds or less.

Operator: OK. I'm listening. Tell me what you need to say. We'll have an ambulance at your location within five minutes.

Victim: You're missing the purpose of life. The true purpose of life is far simpler than what you're thinking it is.

Operator: And how would you know that? Obviously, your life didn't mean much or you wouldn't have tried to end it. Just keep talking to me.

Victim: My life has served its purpose. It was time for my life to end, so I ended it. What I need to leave with you is the fact that you and many others on this planet are missing the purpose of life.

Operator: I'm supposed to take that as an element of truth from a person who just attempted to commit suicide? How could you know? You're out of your mind. You've got to be mentally skewed right now.

Victim: I'm clearer right now than I've been for quite some time. What I'm telling you needs to be passed along to others, as many others as possible. This conversation is the sole purpose of my life.

Operator: That can't be. If it's like you say, you're dead. You couldn't be talking to me.

Victim: Are you listening or are you going to render my life trite, as so many others have, day after day, year after year? I've suffered for all my life to get to this conversation. ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?

Operator: Yes, yes, I'm listening. In fact, this conversation is being recorded. It will be played back for many others.

Victim: You and many others on this planet are missing the purpose of life. The purpose of life is far simpler than we make it. The true prupose is in the simple and basic things of life, such as the sunrise and sunset, the beauty of a flower, the smile of another person. The presence of another person you love or who loves you is the most important essence of life. The small, kind actions that we do out of love are the true purpose of life. It's most important to not squander a single moment.

Operator: Yes, I hear you. Just keep talking to me, we have your address now, and we're on the way. The ambulance will be at your location soon.

Victim: Don't worry about the ambulance or what it will find. You're doing good by working for emergency 911, it helps others. The loss of purpose in life is that people are focused on the material, sensual, and powerful diversions.

Operator: So that's your message. You think that you're giving me and others this fact simply by taking your life? Just hold the line, we're nearly at your location now.

Victim: Just play back this conversation for as many others as you can. The fact and meaning of life is that we are all alive, together. We are one family who has quarrelled and hurt each other for way too long.

Operator: You think that taking your life will further this cause? Why didn't you live that message to longevity? Why did you decide to take your life?

Victim: The purpose and path of my life is not for you to say.

Operator: And what about God? Don't you realize that God doesn't forgive people who take their lives. You'll spend the rest of eternity in Hell...

Victim: That's the True Fact of life. Not where I'll spend eternity, but that as a race of Humans, we've completely missed the fact of God. We've forced God to be in our image more than we've lived up to His. Actually, what's at the end of your life is not eternity or Hell or Heaven. It's Death: nothing more, nothing less.

Operator: But that can't be. What about the Bible, what about Jesus, what about all the Saints and Scripture and good works done by countless people? What about people whose lives mean something, not those who have done what you have?

Victim: That's nothing compared to what YOU do with YOUR life between now and the moment Death takes you.
