---------------------------------------------------------------------------- What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness? -Jean Jacques Rousseau, philosopher and author (1712-1778) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Composite mail: ref. SUICIDOPHOBIA notice how few people have even discussed suicide, as though we are talking naked sex on a cross street. it is this very silence which creates and propagates the killing instinct which brings demise upon one's self at dawn. it is this very silence which deafens the one about to kill himself or herself, and no one reaches out to talk. i would have wanted a rough and tumble of opinions and conjecture and argument and noise, which in turn would have made sure people knew much as would help them help someone. Ghosts of Nuked, at least on the matter of suicide, speak! ______ WHO IS CONTEMPLATING SUICIDE? if someone on Nukkad is thinking of slitting the wrists at midnight, do two things please? first, don't ruin the carpet, and two, talk! ______ COMMUNICATION IN SUICIDE this is not how much you talk or to what depth. It is just that you are ALWAYS available to the person contemplating suicide. people who will kill themselves sometime in june have a diffrent way of talking in april. you have to pick on the thread and respond. they are not thinking beyond two weeks and you are thinking forever, so there may be glitches. if you presume to help, do so to the hilt. again. talking is listening, and talking is talking even when nothing is ever going anywhere. the last thing you do is try to have them see how valuable life is and gee what a waste to let it go. don't justify, don't encourage, please don't talk god, don't give a crucifix on a chain, don't give st jude's novena and dont say i will offer 9 paternosters. simply stay in touch every hour one way or the other. people kill themselves in time-windows. plug this and no one dies. ______ THE SUICIDE AGGRAVATOR FACTOR if you are committed to helping someone, scan the horizon for the Suicide Aggravator Factor. this is almost always a person, a whiner, do-gooder, torturer, weak person, proselytizer, bible toter, moralist, sadist, blusterer, always-complainer, hyperbolic, irresponsible, selfish robber, possible beneficiary, sister. this can also be a situation, a marriage, divorce, broken heart, two timer fiancé, profligate, unwanted fetus, a fear-mongering confession giving priest, sense of guilt, having sinned, God, ghosts, devil, husband, boy friend, torturer, sad-masochist lover, and so many more. add to this an impending time frame. all these can be the Factor, which pushes the person over the hump. when one is communicating, one is helping checkmate this Factor. and the person lives. arya. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, use the form at: http://www.mumbai-central.com/nukkad/#options This list is archived at: http://www.mumbai-central.com/nukkad/archive.html
