"When we start to define suicide as a solution, as an end or a beginning, we glorify and romanticize the loss of life"
Death by suicide is an extremely complex issue that causes pain to hundreds of thousands of people every year around the world. The WHO and Global Burden of diseases study estimate that almost 800,000 people die from suicide every year. That's one person every 40 seconds.
Suicide is defined as the act of taking one's life. It is permanent as the person loses his/her life. However, it isn't permanent logically. Suicide contagion is real. Permanent is said to be lasting, this word is very powerful. The permanency of suicide is overruled by the fact that it increases the tendencies of other people (family and friends) to do the same causing a problem. Most people do not want to die, they want the pain to stop. In the middle of their crisis, it seems as if death is the only option.
However, suicide is never a solution. With suicide, a person can not witness the problem being solved. In most parts of the world, it is believed that the dead have gone to rest. This is an axiom that is capable of causing the normies facing challenges that are overwhelming at such points to take their lives due to the presumable peace they search for. Suicide is more complex. That is not to refer it as more or less agonizing, everyone who considers suicide is suffering. When we start to define suicide as a solution, as an end or a beginning, we glorify and romanticize the loss of life. Life is sacred.
A problem is a situation regarded as unwelcome, because a problem is not temporary does not mean hopeless. Life is chronically challenging, we will find other ways to encourage those lost in despair.
A saying goes thus "When there is life, there is hope". Without life, you will never see yourself conquer that barrier. Happiness is sensed by the brain when there is a sense of improvement.
Following the axiom of there being peace after death will only cause optimum pain before the end of one's life.
