“Part 18: I Am Going To Commit Suicide in Two Weeks and There Is Nothing You Can Say Or Do To Stop Me From Killing Myself!!!” by Ralph Zuranski

Dear Ralph,
While I am not entirely sure I believe I have made a serious and possibly harmful error.
The “person who is not a hero” that is on your Heroes Website may not be the “person who is not a hero” that was with my wife. As I told you I had not seen him in over 25 years.
The “person who is not a hero” on your website has the same coloring and facial features also the same thinning hair. But when I did further digging the villain on your website does not appear to have the same history.
If I have caused any harm to anyone with my letter to you about “person who is not a hero” I want to apologize. I am truly sorry and if need be I will do whatever I can to try to repair any damage I may have caused.
Ralph, I hope you got the books I sent.
I wanted to let you know that I stopped taking all the meds they were giving me.The first week was very difficult both physically and emotionally but I am starting to feel much better. I can think much clearer and I am starting to see a little daylight again.
I don’t think there are words to express how much your kind words meant to me in my darkness. It was as if I was trapped in a dark room that was filling with water and I could hear someone on the other side of the wall trying to tell me the way out.
Although their voice was distant and muffled, at least I knew someone was out there who cared enough to try to help a stranger.That someone was you my friend. Thank you.
If you don’t mind I would like to send you a couple of attachments.
One is a file of the journal I was doing and the others are just pictures of some things I love.
One picture is my daughter and her daughter. The trees are in my yard the pictures I took yesterday.
Thank you again

PS. I was reading the hero blog site. The first thing I read was by Alex Mandossian. He talked about leading from behind. I did not read all of the articles. But I was impressed by his lead from behind. There was another man in history who’s name was Lao Tzu. He wrote in the ICHING. This is a rough translation. ” A leader is best when people barely know he exists. Not so good when people fear or hate him. But it is good if when the job is done the people say ” We did it ourselves”.
