Just because.

Life For over fifty years, a couple who live next to a key suicide spot in Sydney has been dashing out to try and talk the desperate from the edge of the cliff. Just because. Having saved over a hundred and sixty souls, what struck me about the story is that these guardian angels, who are now in their eighties, say they haven't suffering any psychological ill effects themselves:

"Despite all he has seen, he says he is not haunted by the ones who were lost. He cannot remember the first suicide he witnessed, and none have plagued his nightmares. He says he does his best with each person, and if he loses one, he accepts that there was nothing more he could have done.

Nor have he and Moya ever felt burdened by the location of their home.

"I think, 'Isn't it wonderful that we live here and we can help people?'" Moya says, her husband nodding in agreement."
