Suicide is an important topic. But I also want to say that long before the point of suicide, we could all use more empathy, support, encouragement, kindness etc in our lives. Of course we can be there to support people in a crisis. But we can also make each day an exercise in making the world a better place. Stop being grumpy over small things. Start using your energy to lift up other people. If someone upsets you, or you judge someone you dont know, catch yourself and find a reason to love that person instead. We keep putting it on the individual to reach out and get help. But the reality is we can create a world where people in general - all people - can feel the love and good karma around them. You want to stop suicide? Smile at strangers. Talk to people you dont know. Set aside a couple bucks each week to support the work and passion of others. Make observation/appreciation/ and gratitude a part of your life. If someone is gossiping or being judgmental, you can change the tone of the conversation towards positives.Look for ways to do nice things for other people. You have energy and you have the ability to set the tone for the world around you - people you know and strangers. Err on the side of kindness, patience, love, and helpfulness and shine bright so that others will follow your lead. That is how we stop suicide. We make the world less cold, and let everyone know they are welcomed and loved. We can make the world a nicer, safer place to live with every human interaction we have, on every single day. Thats my hypothesis I guess.
