Suicide

I was reminded earlier today of the effects of committing suicide when trying to return home from my shopping trip and instead of catching the train, I had to catch a shuttle bus. While people scrambled to get on the 4 buses I patiently let fill up before getting on safely, word of a person committing suicide was spreading as the cause for the shuttle buses. But as I listened, people weren't sympathetic, they were inconsiderate, like usual, which normally doesn't affect me. But this is a perfect example as to why suicides occur. I'm no saint, and love my phone just as much as everyone else, but I also balance everything. I see things from all perspectives. I don't turn away if someone needs help. I don't know any of the details behind the tragedy today, but I don't need to. With the reactions I saw today, I think back to my choice of harming myself which was slicing my wrist in my apartment while alone, and compared it to this incident where people saw it happen, people were affected,who were strangers. My attempt, I didn't want attention, mainly because I know with suicide and the reason behind it, it was pointless as I already pointed out, and with this incident I feel the person was so distressed and not taken seriously so to pay back they ended their pain for others to see. What angers me is how people were more focused on getting on a shuttle bus instead of why the buses were being used yet these same people, if something in their world distressed them, they'd want us to stop for them. Instead now if they had friends or family, they are possibly grieving. Maybe mental health was a factor, maybe not. Nobody knows. But the bigger picture is, not giving a damn when even a stranger commits suicide and pushing and shoving to get on a bus because this tragedy derailed the usual trip but yet you still go on and share similar thoughts that I'm expressing now trying to make YOU look good. I am writing this because YOU need to stop judging, criticizing, bullying, manipulating, etc and work together, love, appreciate, help, and end all this negativity. It should never be about looks, wealth, culture, etc. Articles like this shouldn't tell you how you should be nice, considerate, have a heart, and the fact that common sense isn't so common shouldn't come from our mouths as casual as it does daily. What are you doing for your friends,family,coworkers,neighbors,etc to ensure their health and wellbeing are being looked after?? What are you doing to help others in need out so that you feel good and they are looked after and happy?? You probably have a home, a vehicle, a family, nice clothes, decent food, a job and money so why not put these luxuries some may not have to good use?? If you are judged for it, who the hell cares?? You took care of something in a good and positive way. If people have a problem with that, ask them how they'd feel if someone committed suicide because nobody cared about them enough to help them so they didn't feel that way and make them see that the best pay isn't money!! Sex, money, drugs, alcohol all have one thing in common: they aren't worth everything they paint themselves out to be. They cause some major problems that sometimes lead to suicide. But should you choose to read this and give this the same treatment as the individual who took their life, I feel bad for your inner circle of family and friends.
