By Matthew Verrinder Fri Sep 8, 3:29 PM ET

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - More people kill themselves each year than die from wars and murders combined, but most suicides could be prevented, two international experts on suicide said on Friday.

Some 20 million to 60 million try to kill themselves each year, but only about a million of them succeed, said Dr. Jose Manoel Bertolote, a mental health official at the
World Health Organization in Geneva.

The ones who do end their lives "are tragic situations where help could have been provided," said Brian Mishara, president of the International Association for Suicide Prevention in Gondrin, France.

Sad isn't it? Life is not wonderful for most of us..And the world IS NOT just .


Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great men must, I think, have great sadness on Earth.
Fyodor Dostoevsky

Suicide...is about life, being in fact the sincerest form of criticism life gets.
Wilfrid Sheed

It was easy enough to kill yourself in a fit of despair.
It was easy enough to play the martyr.
It was harder to do nothing. To endure your life. To wait.
Erica Jong

1. I'd Say Greed

That would cover everything from poor health habits, to profiteering off the poor, to war, and a lot of domestic crime, too.

2. okay, suicide doesn't count. It is distinctly different from murder

in that the victim is also the killer, therefore it's consensual, which means it's not murder, but euthanasia.

6. People who commit suicide don't want to die, they don't want to live.

7. This is true

But if they had a life that was not so painful for them,would it be different,I think so.Suicide is not euthanasia,it's despair because their life is painful and no one helps,no one cares,no one to trust..

Life itself is worthless,because we all will die anyway....The QUALITY of life that is what counts, the QUALITY of life it can make or break you.And QUALITY of life is what the greedy,the bullies, the abusive people STEAL from others who are NOT like them ,until the target despairs,tires of the struggle and pain and leaves this life.
None of us chose to be here yet,here we are.
