My Manifesto: The Incoherent Ramblings of a Madman

Listening to the Children - An extract from "Beyond Civilisation: Humanity's Next Adventure" - By Daniel Quinn.

Whether by intention or not, suicides often reveal themselves in their choice of means. The guilty hang themselves. Sacrificial victims slash their throats. The discarded throw themselves off buildings or bridges. Tormented minds blow their brains out.


This is something I have never thought about before. Although morbid, it seems to make sense. I'm not sure of how psychologically correct this statement is, as to my knowledge Daniel Quinn has no psychology degree, but at the same time it doesn't take a degree to give someone some insight into how someone is thinking, or feeling - a little empathy can go a long way.
