IJMC The Greatest Pain

                     IJMC - The Greatest Pain

Well, thanks to the IJMC's CFO (Chief Founding Officer) and EIEIO 
(Electronic Information Exchange Implementation Officer) the server is 
back up and conversing with the world again. Technical difficulties 
knocked us off the air this time...simple fix, but had to be found 
first...so, just one tonight, to make sure everything's working again, 
then I'll play catch up again. Probably just two a night for a few 
nights...keep everyone up to date on my move and the CFO's bug bomb. You 
know, important stuff.                                             -dave



 The greatest pain in life
 is not to die,
 but to be ignored.
 To lose the person you love so much
 to another who doesn't care at all.
 To have someone you care so about so much
 throw a party...
 and not tell you about it.
 When your favorite person on earth
 neglects to invite you to his graduation.
 To have people think that you don't care.

 The greatest pain in life,
 is not to die,
 but to be forgotten.
 To be left in the dust after anther's great achievement.
 To never get a call from a friend,
 just saying "hi."
 When you show someone your innermost thoughts
 and they laugh in your face.
 For friends to always be
 too busy to console you
 when you need someone to lift your spirits.
 When it seems like the only person who cares about you,
 is you.

 Life is full of pain,
 but does it ever get better?
 Will people ever care about each other,
 and make time for those who are in need?
 Each of us has a part to play
 in this great show we call life.
 Each of us has a duty to mankind
 to tell our friends we love them.
 If you do not care about your friends
 you will not be punished.
 You will simply be ignored...
 forgotten...
 as you have done to others.

*This poem was written by a young girl who committed suicide three
 years ago.

 Remember that you can't judge a sad, lonely, or suicidal person by
 their facial expressions.  You need to cherish your friendships, and
 show people that you care.

 Please forward to people you know/care about.
