When suicide does not have a successful
attempt it may lead to bad consequences. First of all, the moral of a person
who wants to commit suicide is so low that just the fact that they wanted to
commit suicide in the first place already sets them at a bad position if they
do survive. Surviving a suicide does not make them feel happy at first. They
are still depressed, and they are still so low that the thought of being kept
in the world terrifies them. Moreover, sometimes the physical damage in a
failed suicide attempt may be so bad that the person is never the same. For example,
sometimes people try to hang themselves, and in the act a person who walks in
on them, and stops the suicide stops them. At this point the person has already
lost a lot of blood and oxygen to the brain that even though they do survive,
they may spend the rest of their life with brain damage. This than leads to
their incompetence leading to even more trouble for the people around them who
have to take care of them and live with the fact that that person did not want
to live in the first place. There are people who
deal with depression, fight for their lives in health related life battles, are
indeed alone, and still are able to continue and not let that suicidal tendency
dominate their soul. There are many tolls that one throws onto other when they
chose to end their lives.
Suicide may also be a result of financial
issues. The pressure of being independent, and having to support a family, or
oneself are very strong in the US. Although there is help for financial issues,
when one is laid off and are no longer able to support their families, they
become so stressed that they lead themselves into an interior oppression that
sometimes leads to suicide. In a film, “Up In The Air”, there was a company,
whom was ironically hired to fire people. When one of the characters fires one
a woman, the woman states that she will commit suicide that she will longer be
able to live. The company has those types of reaction often and therefore they
do not take them too serious, although they do provide a support group for them
to regain stability financially. The woman ends up committing suicide, which
highlights a few factors. One is that the company who fired her did not take
her seriously. This shows that it is difficult to know when someone is suicidal,
or when he or she are serious, and therefore making it difficult to provide
help. On the other hand, just the pressure of being jobless in this society is
high that it may lead to suicide. Financial troubles are very stressful, and
when one loses all stability after being stable, they become even more
stressed. This illustrates that a great change in one’s life is hard to cope
with, it is not easy for many people to be able to deal with being so high and
coming down so low in such a short period of time. Our brains cannot handle so
much change, and therefore the consequences are costly.
Furthermore, specifically
analyzing those who commit suicide who leave children behind, there is an
ultimate void within the child’s life forever. When a parent commits suicide,
the child starts to feel that they were not worth it, and it affects their
self-esteem, and life confidence. In other words, when contemplating starting a
family, or when deciding to become part of a certain type of close relationship
they might find fear in that they do not feel that they will be able to fulfill
the person who they are trying to start a relationship with. It is not fair for
someone to have to be affected for the rest of his or her life just because
another was too scared to live theirs. Children who are victims of suicide are
the worse victims because growing up in the absence of someone who chose to
leave them has a big toll on their life. Overall this further illustrates the
way in which committing suicide is a selfish act, if one cannot stop his of herself
even for his or her child, than there is definitely an introverted,
self-fulfillment in this act of suicide.
The burden that is left on the loved ones
of those who commit suicide, and the sadness that it brings to the families
makes it a selfish act, one may escape their life thinking that are their
troubles are gone, however, they just create more trouble. Suicide is selfish,
when one commits suicide they feel as though they have found a solution for
their problems but they simply have not. If one were to realize that their
suicide will only lead to the pain of others instead of only thinking about
themselves, than I feel that there would be a lot fewer suicides, however this
is not the case, the metal state of a person who will commit suicide is in such
devastation that they do not think properly. Suicide is far beyond healthy.
Statistic has shown that 70% of elder men, who seek psychological help before
when they are feeling low, commit suicide. Overall, ninety
percent of all people who die by suicide have a diagnosable psychiatric
disorder at the time of their death. This
leads to one of two possible conclusions, either this metal disorder is so
strong that it is almost irreversible, or the help provided by doctors is not
useful.
Traumatically, a family
suicide is stuck within the family’s history forever. They are stuck with the
experience of the suicide that can affect the youth or adults, as they grow
older. Witnessing a suicide, especially from someone whom one may consider a
loved one, or a close person makes one feel that they were not their for the
person or that they could have done more to help them, when in reality is not
their fault. The suicide affects the relationships within the family. There
might be children that are forgotten about if the parents or family is still in
mourning, and they simply do not understand that they can ruin someone else’s
bond and relationship. It is difficult to try to recover form the loss of a
family through suicide, and even more so when one feels that there could have
been an answer or another way. The fact that this is an unforgettable event for
the whole family highlights the dangers of this act not only for the person who
commits suicide, but once again for all of those who are inevitably involved
