Many wonder what is enough to end the life? No. Not life. What is enough trouble to end it all? A Peek in this direction is as follows:
In 1927, Edwin Wakeman of Manchester committed suicide leaving this note:
‘I married a widow with a grown daughter. My father fell in love with my stepdaughter and married her – thus becoming my son-in-law. My stepdaughter became my stepmother because she was my father’s wife.
My wife gave birth to a son, who was, of course, my father’s brother-in-law, and also my uncle, for he was the brother of my stepmother.
My father’s wife became the mother of a son, who was, of course, my brother, and also my grandchild, for he was the son of my stepdaughter.
Accordingly, my wife was my grandmother, because she was my stepmother’s mother. I was my wife’s husband and grandchild at the same time.
And, as the husband of a person’s grandmother is his grandfather, I am my own grandfather.
