When dealing with the presence of darkness in the surroundings, the most pressing concern should be ensuring that, at least, no innocent children and elderly people get harmed by those considering themselves as members of a superior race. If we go back to the past of ancient civilisations, conquering dictatorships used to firstly harm elderly people because the knowledge they’ve accumulated through the years of their existence, as well as restraining, conditioning, and submitting children to an slavery-based regime the majority has no change to get rid of due to the requirement to blindly obey someone they call master, or see as a superior being. Between children and elderly people are those who get presented with two clear yet obscure options: (1) becoming a submissive person to the imposed regime; or (2) being subjected to the consequences of not doing so, which in the past usually implied a death penalty. What’s happening nowadays in modern society (year 2025)? The answer is almost the same, although the death penalty has been replaced by the increasing investment in public surveillance and huge (hidden) censorship policies. The moment we realise we’re repeating past history using a different method for doing so, it’s the moment we understand why being conscious is considered an act of bravery and great responsibility these days.


This month is dedicated to the prevention of suicide, and even so, we’re far from effectively teaching and making people conscious enough to understand suicide isn’t a way out of any unfair environment or obnoxious behaviour they get to experience, from time to time, during their life journeys. If we look (again) in the past history we would see those who got ashamed by having their honour questioned by the past society itself, the ones being the subjected to deteriorating jokes of stupid people, as well as entire races and cultures being stigmatised and considered members of an inferior class, becoming mistreated with no chance of defending themselves against the imposed regime and tyranny. Among those people, many had committed suicide, usually hanging themselves or drowning on rivers, lakes, or seas abroad.


Nowadays (year 2025) the most pressing question is: Why do people still commit suicide? The answer relating it to some type of “mental disease” doesn’t sell itself or establish a strong foundation for understanding that awful outcome, yet it seems we’re walking towards being conditioned into believing in such a biased hypothesis. Let’s start thinking a bit: Is modern society less discriminatory and deteriorating than the past ones? Have people been treated equally within the distinguished and established states? Are those who’ve attempted to commit suicide for any reason or circumstance not stigmatised by the modern society itself?


When we keep consciousness at hand and try to answer all the aforementioned questions, one clear thing we can notice is that we’ve made little or no progress in making people to be appreciated for who they really are instead of what either they possess, or they can provide in return for an intentional action expecting such a return. It’s crystal clear that suicide alone isn’t where the real problem resides but making people strong enough to be able to face and deal with dishonoured, dishonest, and deceptive behaviours they must have contact with, sooner or later, during their life journeys. Keeping consciousness at hand becomes the key point in such an unsolved equation.


Let’s be brave to incorporate the clear and priceless piece of knowledge that says suicide isn’t a way out, while performing our body and mind training in order to get prepared for dealing with dishonour, dishonesty, and deception no matter the circumstances.


Namaste 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
