Prevent Suicide

 


  Oh God, I don't know what to do. The world is cruel, I can't handle it anymore. I want to commit suicide to get away from this pain. Dear friends, your life is absolutely beautiful but you don't realise it yet. In the major cases, people who are feeling suicidal are dealing with conditions that will pass in time if only they can get the help that they need. According to WHO, more than 700 thousand people die due to suicide every year. 

  Suicide is a desperate attempt to escape suffering that has become unbearable. Blinded by feelings of hopelessness and isolation, most suicidal people are deeply conflicted about ending their own lives. However, it can prevent it if you find somebody wants to try suicide. 

  Knows the signs. Being able to recognise the warning signs of suicide such as, extreme mood swings, feeling of hopelessness, saying goodbye to family and friends, and withdrawing from friends and family. If your friend or family has those signs, it will better find them or call them. They need attention. 

  Don't leave them alone and try to be a good listener. Being a good listener doesn't require any special skills. Be patient and accepting, but avoid getting into an argument. Also, if they seem to be in imminent danger of hurting themselves, do not leave them alone. Take away any potential that can hurt themselves, such as weapons or pills.

  For you who a person wants to try suicide please call somebody that is close to you, could be your family, friends, or psychologist. We know how you feel mates, but suicide is not what you need. You are feeling hopeless among society right now, probably you failing of anything, somebody left you, etc. But we want you to remember what you have done is also an achievement.

  Let's say, you have to be grateful that somebody still wants you. Somebody wants to be your friend, lover, or even family. What you have now is only temporary, the world is massive to explore, and waiting for your arrival to show you how beautiful this life is to live. Always be happy and face the world with your own confidence. Every person has their own unique ability. As always, have a nice day 😀.

Living a Simple Life

    In the modern era, living a simple life is quite tricky. We are constantly being attacked by ads, big sales, and messages telling us we need the latest gadget or must-have items. It must be difficult to resist these temptations when it feels like everyone around us is living a more glamorous life than we are.   Ok, let's take a look at what people often think of when they hear this phrase. Minimalism means having fewer things and only what is needed. Old-fashioned living means rejecting modernity and living like it's the past. Self-sufficiency means creating everything we need and buying as little as possible. All of those are close, but none of them are quite right. The opposite of simple is not modern, expensive, or dependent.   Living a simple life looks a little different for everyone, but at its core, simple living is all about focusing on the things that truly matter. For many of us, those include our family and our friends. By living a simple life, we can ...

Honne and Tatemae

    Imagine if we are in a meet or reunion with a friend from secondary higher school that we haven't seen in a long time. Someone who you never liked and then they point out to meet and catch up. What do you do?   If you are automatically saying "yes" without hesitation in these situations, congratulations, you are already familiar with the Japanese concepts of Honne  (本音)  and Tatemae  (建前) .  You may not realise it.   Honne and Tatemae are Japanese names for two very important concepts.

On the other hand, Tatemae means our behavior in public that follows the standards that are socially accepted.   The reason why there are Honne and Tatemae is Japanese don't really like to have clashes with others. They don't want to show their rudeness, so they prefer to give formal responses, or to react with formal behavior, rather ...

About Telekinesis

    Have you ever dreamed to able moving objects around with your mind, like in a film? The power of telekinesis has captured the imagination of scientists, psychics, and fiction writers for centuries unproven by science.   So what is the definition of telekinesis? Telekinesis or psychokinesis refers to the alleged ability to move objects with the power of the mind or willpower, without physical interaction.   Telekinesis is from the Greek words, tele means "distant" and kinesis means "movement". If we combine together, it refers to the apparent ability to move physical objects using only the mind and without any physical interaction.   The idea of telekinesis has been in the imagination of fiction writers for ages, allowing the characters to demonstrate telekinetic abilities to move objects, restrain opponents, and levitate for dramatic effect.   However, many have claimed to have telekinetic abilities and believe that telekinesis is possible, but no one h...
