I was just looking up random stuff about San Francisco when I found articles that say there have been more than 1200 suicides since it opened in 1937.
This bridge is a suicide magnet with no suicide barriers.
Right now I'm just anxious. Maybe we should avoid going to the Golden Gate bridge next year.
Even though it doesn't make sense since I'm happy now, I'm afraid of the seductive allure of the death bridge. If I feel this while happy, imagine what others in a bad place would feel in the presence of the bridge? I have reason to believe Babblers are more prone to suicide than other groups so if we can, I'd like to prevent them whenever we can.
I may be overreacting right now.
Perhaps walking on the bridge will be really enjoyable, but I just know I can't help but think of jumping when I'm walking across. Gawd, maybe it's some OCD or something.
