NOT 2B WASN'T MEANT 2B!
Prince Hamlet of Denmark told a group of troubled schoolchildren today that soon after his father was murdered, he became so depressed that he almost committed suicide. "I held the bare bodkin in my hands and weighed my options," Hamlet recalled as the children took turns holding the bodkin in question under their teacher's careful supervision.
"Life was painful. My feeling were hurt when my mother remarried. I blamed my uncle. I thought, what's the use? Why not just end it all? And I almost did. But do you know what saved me?" The children demanded to know. "Here's the thing," Prince Hamlet said in voice that was almost a whisper. "Exactly what happens when you're dead? Nobody knows. It may be even worse than the stuff that happens when you're alive. I couldn't risk it."
