i watched a documentary on suicide yesterday, it was really good
here is the link if anyone is interested.. but i actually don't recommend that u watch it unless u are very curious because it is very morbid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgG3kxnFTjU&feature=related anyway what i found to be crazy about it was one lady said that she deals w/ suicides a lot as an emt, and most of them are because people are just mean to one another this is very sad to me.. lets be nice to each other.. like what is so hard about just treating people with basic respect? another aspect is.. ok someone may think, oh u have a great life, your life is easy.. but what they don't understand is that u value something way different than what they value like if what u want the most in life is a family of your own then hindrances to that are going to hit u harder than they would hit someone who values money the most one easy example of this is when the stock market crashes, the bankers are the first ones to kill themselves why? because they value money the most anyway.. another contributor to suicide is a lack of faith, hope, and love lack of faith = "i can't" lack of hope = "my life will never get better" lack of love = "dang my wife left me, my friends abandoned me, no one likes me" the main problem with suicide tho is the fact that it is selfish.. what about everyone who cares about you? on some level you need to have a backbone and say "i won't put so and so through that" in the documentary they interviewed an old man who works in a cemetery and he said suicide deaths are way worse than natural deaths as far as the mood of the funerals and the pain involved with a suicide there is pain, unanswered questions, anger, blame etc... whereas a natural death will probably only have one or two of those don't even get me started on the person's soul.. some people say you can kill yourself and still go to heaven.. however my general take on it is that "thou shall not kill" goes for yourself too.. not just other people (in other words, i wouldn't risk it) the documentary also went into some detail about the mindstate of a person who wants to commit suicide options seem very slim hope is gone or dwindled to almost nothing in their eyes maybe a non-suicidal person sees 5 possible ways of getting from point A to point B but a suicidal person may only see one way.. and if that way is too hard then they want to get off the path because of this, it is important to try and talk to people around you.. to try and see other ways of getting through a struggle.. however a lot of times this is kinda the problem.. people aren't really listening what do i make of this whole thing? what are my conclusions? i say listen to peoples' problems (not every day.. but u know..) enough to make them feel heard and maybe see if you can help out offer to help people out without being asked try to have basic respect for everyone try to be nice to the people u care about the most and say something nice to people try to be forgiving and humble try not to magnify peoples' faults and flaws because chances are they are already ashamed inside, instead of rubbing their nose in it try to just tell them they can do better or just say whatever is going on is for the best because it may help set their anxiety at ease i'm definitely not perfect at these things but i just wanted to say something about it all werdage
