The
Yellow September was
instituted by the
World Health Organization (WHO), on September 10th, 2003, as the date for the suicide prevention campaign
worldwide. The growing number of occurrences each year has made this a major
public health problem.
The causes are diverse but depression
continues to be main one. Beyond that, financial stress, illnesses, drugs
(legal and illegal), disillusionment with life and, of course, lack of
religiosity make this incidence more and more worrying. The suicidal person
does not want to stop living, they just want to “get rid” of the problems that
affect them.
It's important not to ignore a pre-existing condition
in the person's spirit. Most of us still carry some fragility from previous
experiences which we all have to learn how to surpass. And unfortunately, this
spiritual disease affects particularly those who believe that life ends
in the grave. However, our Spirit lives on harvesting all the good (and/or
bad) we realize in this life. Let us remember that life is a cycle of
challenges and existences that necessary for our evolutionary process.
According
to question 944, of The Spirits' Book, To shorten life is the greatest
transgression of human beings to the Laws of God:
"Does man have the right to dispose of his life"?
- No; only God assists that right. Voluntary suicide means a violation of this law.
The World Health Organization (WHO) defined, on January 22, 1998, that “health
is a dynamic state of complete physical, mental, spiritual and social
well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity”, and the
Ministry of Health supports the Life Valuation Center (CVV). In 2017, 2
million people called free of charge to the number 188, which offers emotional
support and suicide prevention. Imagine how many lives were spared from this
folly ...
The numbers continue to increase. There are a total of
800,000 cases per year worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) has set
a goal of reducing suicide deaths by 10% by 2020 which will not be easy, since
the Covid-19 pandemic has contributed strongly to the growth of depressive
processes.
When we believe in the Creator and that only in Him we have the support for our vicissitudes, we feel strengthened. Faith combined with perseverance and
resignation leads us to the path of lesser pain, while the revolt it is the
door of suffering. To revolt is to aggravate everything that already bothers
us and we know that this attitude does not solve anything.
As long as the one does not seek within virtues such as humility, love, charity, fraternity (among many others), they will not leave this situation which imprisons them in despair.
A reunion with your
self is the key to the true happiness that each of us has access to.
Conclusion
Let's try to be more aware about our struggles and learn to renounce what hinders our moral progress, such as selfishness, pride and other feelings that we carry with us.
