Isn’t suicide the best display of
bravery by man?
When I say man, I mean it, because a
woman barely likes her appearance when she is setting it up for hours, so imagine
when she starts to get the 'perfect suicide look’, the idea of dying is
replaced by the pedicure deal on the nearby spa.
For a million dollars, would you
walk into a room filled with gasoline and a tensed chain smoker? If you're
suicidal, you would be the one with the lighter.
Suicide is an act of bravery; to
know what is about to happen and still go on with it needs some serious balls. It
is one thing to see the light but totally another to run after it. What is the
last thought as the bottle rolls off the palm/the toe leaves the stool/the
blood drips from the mutilated vein? It’s usually said that all the best
moments of life come back to you in a flashback of sorts. So, technically the
best moments of your life lead to shooting yourself in your head.
The idea of suicide is somewhat
selfish and darkly comic, but the reasons behind it can be highly serious and
disturbing. Lost love, a pile of debt, parental/peer pressure, poverty, social
insecurity, drug addiction and in some cases, plastic surgeries gone bad. To
sum it up, when you start to take your shit way too seriously, you die. That’s
the whole point of it. People take everything too damn seriously. We need to
learn how to just simply walk away, to let it be what it is and not provide it
with a natural full stop of our own. It is not actually very smart that after
all the effort, joys, sorrows and pains that have been put into to achieve all
the money, power and luxury that you sheepishly end it with a dusty ceiling fan
and a length of rope. If you are going to kill yourself and you are pretty much
sure about it, be clear about how you will do it at least. Don’t mess a suicide
or how will you live with yourself the rest of your life? That’s the other
thing about suicides. It’s your last act; the least can you do is be creative.
Don’t be a drab and just do what you saw on the TV the other day. Kill yourself
from overeating of blueberry pies or skydiving, making a mold of semi frozen vodka and fitting
inside it as it freezes you to death while you lick it or trying to ride a
shark with a piece of meat hanging by your side.
If you gotta die, you gotta die. But life’s not
half bad, it’s just messed up and weirdly complex; if you are young, you have a
whole another life ahead of you, if your old, you have been through worse and
if you’re a woman...go ahead, I dare you.
Your dare to women, not justified. Women generally are the more easily disconcerted species.
ReplyDeleteWomen process their experiences with friends. They discuss their feelings, seek feedback and take advice.They are much more likely to tell a physician how they feel and cooperate in the prescribed treatment. As a result, women get better treatment for their depression/unsettled issues. They are more likely to be depressed,but women actually commit suicide about one-fourth as often as men.
ReplyDeleteWomen are indeed easily disconcerted. But they can voice their affect state more easily than men. This is perhaps why women are more resilient to depression, suicidal attempt/intent (not suicidal ideation though), even heart attack. Men usually subscribe to gender stereotypes (“A real man helps himself”), are less able than women to recognize, label feelings of distress and identify them as emotional problems; and are thereby less likely to seek out help for suicidal ideation or any disturbance. Hence, the higher suicide rates for men.

ReplyDeleteNERD!
Of all that was written the last three words proved to be the most controversial ones.
ReplyDelete@Nitant
ReplyDeleteLame. Because the rest made perfect sense.
@Somya:Write in layman language man!
ReplyDeleteThe point that people take their lives too seriously is very true and I guess it is an art to take things (especially those that are very close to your heart) that go wrong in a light hearted manner and see the positive side of it. However, things are easier said than done and sometimes people just lack enough courage to face the whole ordeal. After all we humans are pretty much emotional creatures.
ReplyDeleteTo put it a simple way. The answer to your problem is at the bottom of the bottle. Its the bottle you choose that decides.
ReplyDelete@ sonal: seriously!
you said that women are concerned about how they appear. thousands of women are victims of acid attack every year. with their face completely distorted shouldn't they simply kill themselves?(i'm sure they strive fir it) yet they choose to live because at the end of the day they are the real fighters and are aware of their inner strength. whereas a man as a result of depression would kill himself along with the rest of his family without giving a second thought. its not only a cowardly act but also very foolish. i hope this puts an end to your mocking.

ReplyDeleteIsn't that is what i said? Women are less likely to commit suicides!! You don't dare someone to do something if they are going to do it anyway. Hence, the dare to the women and not the men.
p.s. its humor..not mockingly offensive!
yes. but i do not abide your justification and did not find any humor in it.
ReplyDeletehahahaha shruti!
ReplyDeleteAs expected.
