Thanks for weighing in with your thoughts, @free-reign. Now I have little assignment for you. Go search for information on positive things being done for mental health today. Then tell someone about it. Talk about the good. 😊

Do we need to do better at managing the clinically insane, and make sure we don’t let suicidal pilots get in a plane? Absolutely. What you’ve described is horrible and inexcusable. It should never have happened.

But guess what. There are something like 44,000 flights per day worldwide. That’s how many times each day it goes well and perfectly mentally healthy men and women transport us where we want to go. I’m just saying that to focus on the one time it went badly gives disproportionate airtime to the bad. That is the point of this article.

Thanks so much for reading, and sharing your thoughts. And for letting me use your example as an illustration. 😊

Spread some positivity. You got this.
