Suicide Nearby

A few days ago I learned there was a suicide near the polish war memorial. Most people in London know the polish war memorial is the north west edge of London next to the A40 duel carriageway before it turns into a motorway and intersects with the M25. We know there is a junction there to Ruislip with a large drop. 

Anyway. 

As an ordinary man, I thought I have a way to reduce suicides in my country. We should accept that suicides are logical. They make sense, let me explain. 



When the 911 planes hit the building, very hot air rushed up the building and started to grill the people on the floors above so they jumped off the building; they wanted to have a less violent death than being roasted alive. If they stayed in the building, they would be roasted alive, if they jumped they would quickly die with less suffering. I think that mindset is true of every suicide. Perhaps someone has terminal cancer and they want to be killed by sleeping pills instead of slow multiple organ failure over 3 months. Judas killed himself because he felt guilty about betraying Jesus, If he was a psychopath, he wouldn't care about what he did, he would just shrug his shoulders. He died because he had a heart and a moral fabric that gave him guilt. He died because he's a complete human. 

If we accept that suicide makes sense then we can listen to someone when they're talking about the way they feel and try to help them find another way. If someone just says "don't be silly or don't be crazy" then they're silencing the person that is trying to find another way to live. There is already very little small talk in society these days. 

Just listen. Sometimes that's all a person needs.
