The article explores the complexities of suicide, challenging the assumption that it is always a rational act. It argues that anyone can be vulnerable to suicidal thoughts during crises, highlighting societal stigma that prevents open discussions about the issue. Cultural and personal beliefs often complicate the conversation around suicide, leaving many feeling isolated. The author emphasizes the need for dialogue to address mental health and the importance of compassion towards those affected by suicidal thoughts and behaviors, shifting the narrative from one of judgment to understanding.
"Given this, it's understandable why suicide isn't talked about and why the usual compassion that people show others isn't there with suicide."
"We assume that all human behavior, including suicide, is rational, even though sometimes it's not."
