Suicide:

Suicide:



I don't know how many people commit suicide in a day or in an hour. But it is happening in a disheartening speed. No one can say that enough effort is applied to check this malaise. It is true that there are so many organizations engaged in attending to the people who are very prone to committing suicide. So many counseling centers are working round the clock to avert the incidence of suicide. Still it is not under control.
Why do people decide to end life like this? Some have psychological and genetic reasons. It is observed by sociologists that great social upheavals serve as fertile ground for this to happen. In our life on earth relationship is what matters most. Whenever love is negated, the threat of suicide is increased. When hope is lost, this threat is increased. It is this kind of damage that leads to this catastrophe than any economic or sociological reasons.
It is curious to note that certain circumstances create the desire to end life at a stroke. We know there are places called as suicide points in many countries. Man's spirit of adventure and the craze for thrills also play a major role in this phenomenon. It looks strange that the tendency to commit suicide spreads like an infectious disease. If there is a well into which a person jumped and died, people in the neighborhood who are likely to commit suicide are attracted to the same well. A tree on which a person hanged himself will, it seems, continue to attract like mind persons to the very same tree. Why does it occur like this? It is also to be noted that there are some particular areas where the incidence of suicide is greater. Is it just because of the fact that the human-beings tend to imitate others? Or is it any hint to the very existence
of evil spirits? Who knows what is what!!!
