the other day my friends husband commited suicide for a bunch of reasons, some of those reasons had to do with society and how every one treats each other. he started to lose sight of "what is the point of living" he was screwed over by some one he LOVED and that made him think about how people as a whole just dont help each other any more and most people are just mean and out for themselves. there are more and more people killing themselves becasue of other people and some reasons of their own, im not blameing all of it on a type of "bullying" i guess you could call it. it makes you really think about how we all live as a society when people are killing themselves and part of the reason is becasue people just dont care and are hate full to each other. mabey we ahould really start takeing a look at ourselves as a whole! im not blameing any one thing for his suiced or any one elses i know there are always a bunch of reasons its just sad again that, that reason was one of them.
It's sad you had to get on the defense in this thread just to express a true feeling. I agree completly with you. We all need to consider how we judge others and how we treat them.
:[ this [society] is what i've spent the last 2 weeks reflecting on. and its made me really depressed. im kinda over emotional about things so i get really upset about it too almost to the point where i just want to die but luckily i have people in my life that make it worth it to stay, but im very lucky. i'm so so so sorry to hear about your friend. i cant stand to watch as the world continues down the path its headed. its scary... :[
Im sorry for your loss; he must have truly thought the world had no hope left in it ot have taken his own life. Society may be doomed, but I try to be optimistic about it; of course, I was raised amongst a "world is ending-people have no morals" type family, so I can't help but be optimisitc, I'd go crazy.
It is very sad when a person can't find SOMETHING to lighten their lives and makes the decision that "cease to exist" is a viable alternative. There will be a few--realistically,a very few ,that will mourn his passing. That's the real sad part,because each of our lives touch so few people as we go thru life,that it won't matter much whether he was ever here or not as time passes. He has given himself NO chance to heal and in fact,left the difficult healing process to those few folks that knew him,loved him and WILL remember him. Not good.I'm sure your friend (and others--his friends,ect)will put some blame on herself/themselves ,which is not fair.I hope no children were involved. I'm sorry for your loss.
What worries me is the ammount of young people taking their own lives. In some areas it's almost an epidemic. The best we can all do is treat everyone with love and kindness whoever or whatever they are and hopefully they will get some understanding that not everyone is a bastard and maybe life is worth living. I'm afraid though that sometimes when someone makes the decision to take their own life, no-one can stop them. The hardest part for friends and rels to come to terms with is, often there were no obvious signs of what was about to happen and therefore, as Scratcho said, they will feel culpable, which is unfare. We all do and say things we later wished we hadn't!
wow sorry to near about your lost! I lost my brother close to 15 years ago,its hard to deal with to say the least!
The tough times are there to help people develop strength- it's a pity so many miss that fact and off themselves. The cure to the societal ill that your friend's husband was unable to process sanely involves everybody and should start with dialog. Good medicine traces a symptom's path to its cause- then treats the disease. If this discussion prompted by the dude's death were to be the genesis of communities reconnecting and new generations taught the value of simple civility than what is admittedly tragic can be turned into something beautiful.
