The darkness of Suicide

Suicide is an act of violence against oneself. As a surprise after deeply research I end up getting the information that suicide is the leading cause of violent death in the world. There is a study published by the Foundation Amor a la Vida which said that in the last decade there are around one million two hundred thousand of people that have committed suicide per year. Almost those who try to kill themselves are facing some kind of extreme depression. Untreated depression is the number one cause for making someone decides to stop living. They are many different types of depressions caused for several reasons such as for a divorce, separation, or breakup of a relationship. It can also be for the reason of an illness, or for sexual abuses.

Many peo
ple die by suicide because they experience a divorce, separation, or breakup of a relationship in their life. In the movie “Little Miss Sunshine” there was a character who was Olive’s uncle named Frank. The movie presents to us the case of Frank as a man who fell in love with another man that did not feel the same for him, so after going through a deep depression he tries to kill himself. Fortunately it did not work, and as a result he continues alive. These cases are more common in our society, but not always people have the luck to continue with live. If someone develops a very important or strong feeling to another person, and instead of receiving affection; he or she is rejected by this person the situation will probably have a bad end. Furthermore, the habit of being married for many years, or to have a person as a couple for a very long time will make people develop dependence and necessity of being always with this person. So this situation can after become a main aspect of making a person choose the decision of ending with his or her life. That’s how people die by suicide because of a divorce, separation, breakup of a relationship.

Most of the people select the option of killing themselves because they have su
ffered some kind of illness. By the time a person receives the diagnosis of an illness or a terminal illness; he or she will drop in a very strong depression and loss of hope. It is certain that thorough the mind of this person will pass the thought of preferring being dead than alive. Also the experience of feeling always bad and sick will probably guide people to have very pessimistic thoughts about life. So this is how those people who are facing an illness are more susceptible to drop in the trap of suicide.

A person can also die by suicide for the reason of suffering sexual abuses. This type of traumatic event in people’s lives tends to guide most of them through the easier road which is suicide. The sequence of being constantly disrespected and abused leads many people to long periods of silent, low self-esteem, and depression. Those are three strong and main facts that make someone try to erase themselves from this world. So this is how someone can die by suicide for sexual abuses.

Suicide is becoming a global epidemic. I think that there many people killing themselves because of the lack of power that they have to resist life problems. But suicide should not be the way to escape from those tribulations. People must have love for themselves and also be patient, perseverant, and strong to struggle against those terrible situations. Suicide will only make you avoid problems without really confronting them.

“Suicide should be regarded as a weakness of man because undoubtedly it is easier to die than endure a life with relentless bitterness.”
Johann Wolfgang Goethe
