Rope, cut, jump, shoot, electrocute, suffocate, immolate, trains planes automobiles, poison, pesticide, starvation, dehydration, monoxide, cyanide, toxins, explosives. Whether it’s hanging banging burning frying, self-killing destruction and annihilation are still and increasingly the not so great and grand unspoken. Committing is no longer in vogue in relation to the spoken or written act of suicide. Committing denotes an unlawful act and it’s practically impossible to enact a charge upon an individual who has successfully suicided and morally rancid upon those unsuccessful souls. For those who enable or assist an individual to end their life, laws are cemented in place to prosecute and persecute such perpetrators. Death by suicide is now at epidemic levels and impacts all levels of society. For any individual to reach a point of taking their own life, to finally flick the final switch in a long sequence of diminishing switched off options, is so much more than criminal. It’s a reflection of a global society that has no time for the reality it has created. No time to look at itself and face the consequences that have brought young middle aged and elderly to the point of no point. As a final switch in a tormented screaming mind is flicked, a cascading wall of pain shattered, a resigned euphoria ensues and a window of peaceful option arises. There is no bravery or cowardice in suicide, rather a doorway free from pain. The suffering is handed on and generationally divested upon those close by, exploding in rippled shock waves to the masses that do not understand, don’t want to know and are crippled by their own fear that it could actually happen to them. And as the noise ceases in the mind of yet another soul, a growing chatter is building, a warning that cannot continue to be ignored and a legacy scream from those already gone. You don’t need to be as mad as a Hatter to be pushed to suicide. A global Noose of Shame is tightening.
