Did he really want to die?

A man had suffered throughout his life. Every business he lay his hand on would fail. After so man attempts to succeed, he decided to commit suicide. He made up his mind that he will use a knife and stab himself to death. The man insisted after all pleas from friends, neighbors and well- meaning individuals. Before he did the act, he gathered some firewood, lit fire on them and put the knife in the fire. People asked him what he is doing. He said,' There are a lot of infections these days. I dont want to contact infections that is why i am sterilizing the knife. After sterilizing the knife, he brought it out and was ready to die. When he touched the knife, He said, OH! its too hot. I dont want to die a hot death, i want to take it cool. He kept the knife to allow it cool. While waiting for the knife, he slept off and forgot to die
