A woman was standing dramatically at the edge of a cliff, looking completely miserable and ready to give up on everything.
An old homeless man happened to walk by and noticed her.
He looked up and said,
“Having a bad day?”
She sighed.
“You have no idea.”
The old man nodded thoughtfully.
“Well, before you make any big decisions, how about we talk?”
She looked suspiciously at him.
“Are you a therapist?”
“Nope.”
“A counselor?”
“Not exactly.”
“Then what are you?”
He shrugged.
“Honestly? I’m just the guy who waits down there to see what happens.”
She immediately stepped away from the edge.
“Okay… suddenly my problems don’t seem quite so bad.”
The old man smiled.
“See? Counseling works.”
“Sometimes you just need a counselor who’s slightly more terrifying than your problems.”
