This is the first time I am blogging and an issue I want to talk about is: Suicide
Wikipedia describes suicide as " The deliberate self-destruction of a human being, by causing their body to cease life function. But suicide is so much more than that. No human lives on this earth alone. Everyone's life is somehow connected to the lives of many others in such a way that we live in a web, one that is made by us, and strengthened by those around us. When someone ceases living, their web crumbles and it takes with it a part of the web others are connected to. We are only as strong as our weakest link. So perhaps that damage in our web makes us weak, and prone to further damage.
So, would you say that suicide causes a person to cease living, or is there more to it than that? I am not going to pass judgement on those who commit suicide. Human beings are programmed for self survival. There has to be something major for someone to turn off that function and take their life. What can be so devastating that causes someone to think that dieing is better than going through their hardships? I don't know but I would love to understand.
Perhaps it has something to do with the web I was talking about earlier. Perhaps, so many webs around them have crumbled that they are no longer strong enough to hold up their own web. If that is the case, is it fair to only blame the person for their action? Is it not a collective suicide?
