Society, Suicide and a certain bridge
Why does life have to be such, that some people can’t see another way out than to end their life? Be it jumping in front of a train, or down a bridge it’s just fucked up!
I’m not going to point fingers here, but there has to be a reason for it. If there is a reason, then there had to been action, and when there is action there is consequence.
Ultimately it comes down to you and me. You and I are to blame for people committing suicide, we all have blood on our hands whether we think we do or not, and whether we like it or not. Because you and I can’t care less about each other, society as a whole has no respect or love for one another. People die, nobody cares. Ce la vie.
The reason I’m writing this post is because I just watched a very controversial film; The Bridge. The central character is a bridge, The Golden Gate in San Francisco, and the people that jumped off it… or rather the people that they left behind? Anyway, that got confusing but I trust you all get the point?

Interesting.
I might watch that if I find the time to do so.
But you are very right.
It’s on the other hand very hard to help someone on your own.
I’ve followed some close cases and I’ve seen that to actually help someone out it takes a lot of people.
It’s like a 10 to 1 ratio, and it can be hard to find those people for every one that needs them.
That’s why we need a change in the society and it’s values.
It’s not ok to not help.

The quote is from the intro to my new favorite series “The Boondocks”.
Here’s the intro on youtube.

The show has a very weird humor and I can understand why people wouldn’t like it, but the humor combined with the social issues somehow caught my interest.
Haven’t met anyone else that would find it funny/interesting yet…
