Below The Belt - What People Are Blind To

WARNING: If you are sensitive about suicide, have depression, bipolar disorder or any other mental disorder which brings you to the brink of suicide: please read on, but only if you're currently fine and not in a down phase. Otherwise, words may be taken the wrong way and can lead to impulsive, not thought out actions and reactions.

Just because this post is about suicide, it doesn't mean that I'm all sentimental. Even after the suicide of Robin Williams, I feel rather neutral to it. I haven't watched many movies with him but he had an unique talent indeed. Now where he died, reactions are all over the place, especially on Facebook and Twitter. And there are things which upset me greatly and that's why I want to write about suicide. Even if it's written out of a bit of anger and disappointment about the lack of empathy from others, I wanted to write something which is decisive yet should give those on the brink something to think about.
