Thoughts on Suicide

Slightly OT but relevant to any social subject in debate, I have just reminded myself of something my psychology professor used to frequently inform us students:

Each topic is like a statue in the middle of a room. Every theory/solution/bit of information you come across are like lights dotted around the room. If you look at one bit of information, it will only light up one part of the statue giving you a small abstract part to look at and leaving the bigger picture in the dark. The more information and guidance you take into consideration, more of the statue will be lit up.

Very rarely is the statue ever fully revealed as there are always some shadows lurking uncovered, but being as open minded as possible is the essence of being a good psychologist.

Very wise man.
