It is written here.[...wants people to believe...take a pill...].
The pill can work when one wants to make believe that it works (placebo). But what does one do after the placebo effect stops?
Then there comes a time to some when taking chemicals comes to a condition of death in their minds, and they can not make believe anymore. And they are like standing on one side of a great gulf that is separating them from life and they do not know how to passover. Some contemplate jumping off the cliff to their death, for they know not what to do to save them.
Some call out, "What must I do to be saved?"
