Is suicide rate in the country high? Those who say that it is low is not in touch with reality. The fact is that in the three HDB blocks I stayed in during the past 4 years, I have heard or seen the aftermath of successful suicide.
Just last Friday, I went out in the evening to meet brother for dinner. In slightly over half an hour, we are back at our HDB block, only to see a police cordon, with a police tent and a broken roof of sheltered walkway. Apparently another suicide has happened.
Such a show of courage and the lack of it. The courage to take own life and the lack of courage to continue living a sucky and hard life.
May he or she rest in peace now.
