Suicidal ideation is the presence of thoughts, imagination, or the desire to end one's life. It can vary in intensity and specificity, from vague thoughts about not wanting to live anymore to concrete ideas or detailed plans to commit a suicidal act. Suicidal ideation can be experienced temporarily or can become persistent, deeply affecting a person's emotional and mental state. Such thinking is described in detail by author S. Kramer, who wrote about her struggle with suicidal thoughts over a period of 50 days.
We can say that suicide is a form of crime against oneself, but also against society, because through this suicidal act, a life is lost and dozens of other lives are destroyed, which are generally left with many unanswered questions and feelings of guilt for not having seen in advance the suicider's desire to end his life or, if they did, they did not believe that he would carry out this intention.
Suicide represents a social problem that can affect every family, community and/or society. Each individual contributes to social harmony and any suicidal behavior or act of suicide produces pain and imbalance from the smallest nucleus of society “the family”, to the community in which it lives and to the society itself. Although suicide is a big social problem, it is a taboo subject for most people, both those who have suicidal behaviors or for people who are silent and involuntary “witnesses” of these behaviors. It is important to understand this phenomenon, because we can reduce it and we can intervene to save lives.
The soul - this “precious breath” or “divine spark”, priceless treasure must be nourished with equally invisible and priceless love, love for the being you value and has reached this dramatic situation, love for people and why not for this extraordinary creation called man. That is why it is very important to stop the „run” of this social marathon, and as we take care of the body and psyche ours, to discipline ourselves and take care of the body and soul of the society in which we live.
