Everybody has an opinion on suicide. Suicide is not a black-and-white issue, but gray.
I would like to see researchers study brains to figure out why some people commit suicide and others don’t.
Stephen Hawking was in a wheelchair most of his life, but a teenage girl being bullied on the internet dies. Why?
Why do our combat heroes experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other heroes don’t. Why?
Audie Murphy, our most decorated service member from World War II, always slept with a Colt .45 under his pillow, but other military veterans didn’t have shell shock.
I wonder if genetics is a factor in suicide, maybe. Researchers have reason to believe that genetics may have links to depression and anxiety.
It is so easy to judge without wearing someone else’s shoes.
