RE: SUICIDE?? ....Why??? An Increasing Aberration Worldwide; especially in the Americas.
Thanks @macoolette for stopping by.
The victims of suicide , methinks seldom channel their giftings to impact others , which would have given them satisfaction instead of depression.
As for reaching out to the depressed, we must show more LOVE to our neighbors and Perharps adopt a more communal cuture as opposed to exclusivity of most Western societies; a situation which accounts for more suicide rate in that part of the World.
Major reason for suicide is despodency due to lack of PURPOSE for Living ; which is a life of service FOR OTHERS.
Let us assume that the community we live in does not practice communal culture or spirit. Do you think that is enough reason to commit suicide? Blame the community that people are committing suicide because we in the community are not loving them back? I wonder, how did those people who commit suicide have loved their community before they ended their life?
It is given that human beings are never satisfied. We always want more. So even if we practice communal culture, how would we know that we are giving enough if that depressed person is not saying anything?
I totally agree that our society should care more for each other but I do not think it should be blamed for suicide of few people who are selfish enough to kill themselves instead of giving their life to the people to serve the purpose that you are referring to.
It was submitted that the SOCIETY and the VICTIMS are equally GUILTY in this matter!!
The SOCIETY , including the GOVERNMENT are because they collectively MOULD either directly or indirectly, by influence, the NUANCES of Individuals by Public Policies and Culturtural Ethos!
The VICTIM, because THEY chose to be INTROSPECTIVE about themselves, not GIVING THEMSELVES to the Service of Others!! This is most often expressed by Mearsuring their worth by SECOND/THIRD PARTY APPROVAL, which is the standard of the SOCIETY.
Example: In most Social Media networks, subscriber's ratings is indexed by FOLLOWERSHIP.
LOVE, when extended, will OVERLOOK ALL deficiencies of the VKCTIM and Serve Compassion and Benevolence to effect RESCUE and REHABILITATION. This explains why issues of this sort are Minimal in FAITH Active Communities.
Thanks @macoolette for your contributions. You are appreciated as always!
I guess I have to get inside the head of those who commited suicide before I can understand why they did such thing - which I will never be able to do. And while I still do not understand them, I like this phrase very well:
Thanks for all your inputs. It was a great conversation. 😊
