Am a day late here to post about this and I highly regret for it. But, I couldn't resist myself to talk about the speciality of the last day. It is the WORLD SUICIDE PREVENTION DAY [WSPD] and is a highly motivated campaign on earth.
WSPD is celebrated every year on 10th of September. IASP (International Association For Suicide Prevention) in collaboration with WHO is actively conducting campaigns and calling all the NGOs and governments to help the cause to get a success. Since it's inception in the year 2003, it came forward with the positive impact on lives by the themes. Let's see how they framed...
2003 – "Suicide Can Be Prevented!"
2004 – "Saving Lives, Restoring Hope"
2005 – "Prevention of Suicide is Everybody's Business"
2006 – "With Understanding New Hope"
2007 – "Suicide prevention across the Lifespan"
2008 – "Think Globally, Plan Nationally, Act Locally"
2009 – "Suicide Prevention in Different Cultures"
2010 – "Families, Community Systems and Suicide"
2011 – "Preventing Suicide in Multicultural Societies"
2012 – "Suicide Prevention across the Globe: Strengthening Protective Factors and Instilling Hope"
2013 – "Stigma: A Major Barrier to Suicide Prevention"
2014 – "Light a candle near a Window"
2015 – "Preventing Suicide: Reaching Out and Saving Lives"
This year's theme is "Preventing Suicide: Reaching Out and Saving Lives"
Suicide deaths are forcible deaths, these are the premature deaths and unnatural. And unfortunately, the death rates recorded due to suicides are increasing with the increment in the development of any country. This became a major obstacle to cross for those who are in a state of depression. The thought which took birth as a seed, torments them and that will lead to end their lives (mostly with a reluctant nature).
There are many suicidal tendencies among the people in the society. We are meeting them regularly, everything seems fine with them when they are in public, all goes off the road when they are left alone. It is not easy to notice the idea of suicide in a person without knowing the person's life before. His/her actions, daily activities and habits will get altered with the birth of the suicide thought. Only those people who are very close them are able to identify this potential. So, now this is a closed circle action. It is now our duty to find, if our close ones or good friends or even family members suffering with this type of tenderness. This is not about the world, this is about us.
At schools, colleges and workplaces. We make good friends and when they complain about something that which is bothering them a lot, we may ignore them. And asks our colleague or a friend to 'take it easy'. That may not appear to be a serious problem then, later it becomes the threat in their lives.
We all feel down now or then. We are humans and we are not invincible. Sometimes even we feel in the same situation like that of our friend. That worrying and torture, all happens in our lives too. That is the time, the perfect time to take action. We need to expand ourselves, never limit our reach to the public. A loving and caring companionship, all we need is to get the positivity injected.
We have to get out of that situation as soon as possible, now it's not about us. But, when we feel like that, never late. Let's now move on to those weaker minds. Filled with pessimistic thoughts and mating with the negativity. We need to help them out, only we can help them before any expert does.
Reasons which boost the idea of suicide :

There are various reasons we saw in the suicide cases. When life get disturbed so badly, the mind loses its control, loses its power to think and lacks the capacity to ponder.
It will slowly weakens the strength, no determined points and positive thinking falls down. Then comes the idea of giving up and ending it all, once and for all. I know how it feels like, because there are few situations in my life too, where I became a prey to those strong negative thoughts. But, successfully saved by self-determination and with the help of my family. They executed their duty without any fail. So, I know those worries will haunt us, no place for calm to dwell in us. Am listing some reasons which are the strongest reasons to drive a person to end his life without living it to the end.
- Love failures and crisis in relationships
- Financial problems
- Educational failures and career related failures
- Health problems
- Mentally imbalanced state
- Due to unacceptable nature
- Fear of future
- Fear of reality
- Fear of problems
- Disputes and quarrels
- Losing a beloved
- Inferiority complex at a high level
- Rejection
- Loned
- Disappointments/worries/trials
- Ashamed
- Bearing a false crime
- ..........................
- (Name the one which you know other than above)
Reasons may be different, but they are leading to one point called a dead end. One who is a victim can't fight against these evils, he/she is in need of a supportive hand which is there to comfort them.
This year's theme included a word 'Saving Lives' and here I remember a movie which I watched before, it's a movie directed by Brian Baugh called TO SAVE A LIFE (2009).
This is the movie of a guy named Jake Taylor and his ex-best friend Roger. Roger crippled himself in saving Jake in an accident when they are kids. Then, Jake became the basketball team star and he ignores Rogers and that left Roger to feel all alone and lost. Besides due to his weakness, he got bullied by everybody, which many times saw by Jake but didn't try to stop them. One day, Roger shots himself in front of Jake, saying that 'it was too late'.
The entire meaning is seen in these four words LATE. So why is this late? Jake knows the problem Rogers was into, but he keep on ignoring it all. He never tried to say a word of positive to Roger. Leaving him all alone to fight against on his own with the crippled factor and with the bullying and loneliness.
We observe many of our friends in such situations, we are too busy to take care. Sometimes much busy to say a 'hi' too. This is not our mistake here, because we need our life to take care of. Besides that there is also a need to spend the time with our companions.
If needed give up a weekend party for a friend who is sick and needed our presence . Let's give the weaker section of minds a hope that they are worthy of living too and try to bring the spirit of fighting out of their heart by crossing all those walls of worries and fears.
Not only yesterday was the WSPD, act like every single day is a WSPD.
Filling the fuel in those lamps which are hopeless and ready to fade.
To save a life is not just an action, it is the cause. It must be encouraged. We can't let somebody's life ends due to the misery. We may not solve their problems, but words are free let's spread them to encourage them to live.
