On average, more than 800,000 people commit suicide every year around the world
Suicide is the 15th leading cause of death, accounting for about 1.5% of deaths.
The number of people who die of suicide exceeds the total number of traffic fatalities and murders
Or dead animal attack.
Strangely, we hear in the media a lot about murderers,
And little about those who commit suicide
By judging statistics, we must be more afraid of entering into an affair
Which may lead to the suicide of one of the parties if things get worse, more than the fear of sharks.
According to ECO data in developed countries, the causes of suicide are as follows:
45% of which stem from physiological causes, imbalances in brain chemistry,
But the other 55% are psychologically motivated. People take their lives because:
Grief on romantic love, career failure or financial / humiliation / shame / social status / shame
Loss of hope and face / despair, and others.
Suicide is a top reminder of our severe psychological weakness,
And our deep difficulties in communicating this vulnerability to others,
Thus, create societies that are saturated with proper behavior.
Governments in rich countries tend, by overwhelming majority,
To guide their efforts to address poverty, disease and aging.
Suicide alerts us to a stranger problem: the magnitude of our psychological torment,
How fragile our minds are, and can not necessarily be treated with more money or goods.
We learn from the causes of suicide how we desperately need love, self-acceptance, meaning, hope,
Social status, pride, and tolerance.
These seven attributes are not accessories. It can save lives.
It’s the literature that, perhaps more than any other, has alerted us to how important these qualities are.
In 1856, in the novel by Madame Beauvari to Gustave Flaubert, a young mother who commits suicide by using arsenic
Because her society feels shame because of her romantic and financial sins.
We learned from this: that living needs respect and tolerance.
In 1599, in Hamlet of William Shakespeare, Ophelia chooses to die instead of living without her lover Hamlet.
We learned from this that: Living needs love and mechanisms to deal with loss.
In 1877, in Anna Karenina’s Leo Tolstoy, the hero Levin, the viper falls prey to a strand in his office
Because he lost all meaning and direction.
From this we learn: that living needs a purpose and meaning.
What makes many suicides suicidal is the element of surprise.
Maybe we knew that a particular person was facing problems, and we did not imagine them on this scale.
But the surprise is evidence of an inadvertent neglect by each other and for ourselves.
We are reluctant to give our psychological needs the importance it deserves.
Here is the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, on this issue in 1818:
“We must always be aware of the fact that no man is too far from a state
In which he wants to catch a sword or a poison in order to put an end to his life. “
Some countries have higher rates of suicide than others.
In Kuwait, the population is close to zero 0.1 per 100,000 people, while in India and France closer to 10.
In Japan, the rate is clearly high 17.9 and China has the highest rate of 25.6.
Figures show that no society can ignore grief,
There is much to be done in interpreting and accepting difficulties
Which can reduce the risk of suicide.
Communities with low suicide rates have greater acceptance of failure,
The higher appreciation of tolerance, the social system honors the intrinsic value more than achievements.
Suicide is our greatest symbol of the difficulty of being a human being,
The fact that its existence still surprises us is a sign that
There are much higher levels of stress that we are usually willing to fight
However, only a small proportion of the population commit suicide,
But doing so is evidence of hidden suffering.
It is evidence of the severity of our fragmentation, therefore,
How we owe each other and ourselves much more sympathy than we usually do.
