UNDERSTANDING SUICIDE DASISIGNPOST |
|||||
One of the main motivators for DASI was September 10 2005. This important
day was designated World Suicide Prevention Day. Which is strange, because I didn't hear or read one word about
this 'signifcant' date in the British media. If it wasn't for the Internet, and many well informed and highly specialist websites from around the English speaking world, I would never have noticed.
Not only did this underlined the global nature of the problem. But
it also demonstrated the potential of the Internet to actually do something positive about it - on a global stage.
For too long suicide has been ignored, or treated as some form of
unwelcome inheritance. A genetic abnormality in the family genes, which no member of the family feels comfortable talking
about. In this respect: Suicide Stands Alone.
Unlike the 'doomsday' viruses of our present age which appear
to develop and spread at an alarming rate: Only to be replaced by another as soon as a pharmaceutical giant develops
another miracle cure. Suicide truly stands alone. It stands out from modern diseases such as the AIDS virus and other doomsday
viruses. These new "plagues" seemingly emerge at a random time and place, and are then transported across the face
of the planet to destroy their victims. Compare this with suicide, heart disease and cancer where the cause
of death is always within each and everyone of us.
However, the anti AIDS campaign is an exemplary campaign and can teach
us much about how to combat health issues on a global stage,
First and foremost, suicide needs to be universally identified, perceived and
acknowledged to be the global killer which it is.
Then - it can be addressed by the global community.
Until then, we the English speaking peoples, can play an invaluable role
in the raising of global awareness. If we join together to attack suicide through every possible means. Any
partial success we achieve (individually or collectively) no matter how small - would save lives. Prevent a lot of human suffering,
and provide a long overdue beacon of hope for the rest of our species.
