The unfortunate constant is that almost nobody sees it coming until is too late.
Three decades of decades ago, a couple had an argument. The wife drank a bottle of lye impulsively, but she could be saved by her quick-thinking husband.
Individuals with in a fit of anger commit suicide on impulse.
A navy officer once visited a secretary to give her some official paperwork. He was talking proudly of his son, who precisely was taking his life at that moment.
Parents idealize their own children, failing to discover if something is wrong with them.
Another couple was having a heated discussion and the husband decided that the best way he could make a point was by taking an overdose of sleeping pills in front of her wife. He came to his senses and went straight to the hospital to detox himself. He barely made it.
Pride makes you take foolish decisions.
My only and humble advice to all my readers would be: be nice to your neighbor. Bullying would be a laugh riot for you but you shouldn’t be pushing somebody to take their live. You are not responsible for their live, but there’s no sense in pushing a person to the edge. Try to shut up instead, if you can’t say something nice.
Don’t speak ill about psychiatry or psychology. Don’t demean what pastors or priests can do. They are in the business of saving lives. If you belittle them, you might be closing the door for somebody that needs to cross it.
Be nice and polite. A smile or a sincere compliment could make the difference.
It’s no laughing matter.
