Man on the edge.

This is the story of a man who wanted to commit suicide by jumping out of a hotel window due to the fact that his wife had had an affair with a married man and was going to leave him. Besides this problem, he also had financial problems and at work. While he was standing on the ledge, he could only think that there was no possible solution to his difficulties. He was hurt so badly that all he wanted was that the pain ended, that the pain went away. Despite the fact that police officers tried to convince him not to jump into the void, he did not come to his senses. When he was willing to jump off the building, a woman who stayed at the hotel looked out of the window. As she was a psychologist, she wanted to talk to him and to help him. The woman made him understand that he had parents and siblings who would suffer his loss. Furthermore, she made him understand that problems do not last forever because everything comes to an end. However, suicide is forever, once it is done there is no turning back. After that moving conversation, the man no longer wanted to commit suicide since he had come to two conclusions thanks to her: he had discovered that the fear of living with pain was less than the fear of hurting his family, and that he was able to face all his problems because what he was going through was temporary. At that moment, he realised he had something worth living for.
