Death is not a Solution

People are seeing suicides mentioned in the news, in magazines, and in newspapers frequently these days. Which may make them seem like an okay thing. But what people are forgetting is that death, is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. It is in fact not a solution at all. Why? Once you're dead there is no way to change it, and there is no way to solve the problem or issue that was bothering you.

What are some of the reasons that people commit suicide? Some people think that their mistakes are irreversible, and that there is no way to solve a problem that's been presented to them. Some people are depressed, and believe that death is the only way to alleviate the feeling. There are others, who may be suffering from some form of psychosis. The mental disease may make them believe they have nothing better to expect in life. Then there are those who commit suicide on impulse, often influenced by the use of drugs and/or alcohol. Then there are some who turn to suicide, because they don't know how to ask for the help that they need.

Some quick facts and thoughts on the matter. Suicide is considered to be the 10th leading cause of death in the whole world. Two of the most common methods being hanging and the use of firearms. In some countries attempting suicide is considered to be a crime. In fact even some religions view it as wrong.

Death is not something that can be changed once it has occurred.It's not something to laugh about, and it's not something to joke about. If you really are feeling as though there is nothing left for you, talk to somebody. Feelings change, and so do situations and the things that are happening around us. There are friends, and family who can help you. Or if you're uncomfortable approaching them you can talk to a counselor.
