I feel pity for this Japanese man who hanged himself online for the world to see. He had discussed his personal views on life in general and had even announced his planned suicide, but no one expected him to seriously carry it out.What puzzled me is that he took more than 24 hours to make an informed decision to kill himself, which was a rather stupid decision.

It is known that Japan is the most innovative country in the present world. From innovations such as the umbrella tie where the tie could be used as an umbrella for safe keeping as well as for looking formal. They have even invented chewing gum to improve sexual performance! Maybe life was too stressful for him as he had been on extended sick leave from this job since August and had posted complaints about his work. But there is always therapy and counselling to help him get through this period, surely even he knew that!

He may be feeling suicidal at the point of time he announced his plan to kill himself, but if he did not have many web users encouraging or even daring him to kill himself, this unfortunate tragedy might not have happened. What is happening to mankind? One daring another to commit suicide? Of course there are a few people desist his decision, but under the circumstances that he had, he would still be taunted by those comments who dared him to do it.

I seriously urge those who come across people who have given up hope on life to give the right comment. After all, words hold alot of power and influence. Saying the wrong thing might cause yet another tragedy to happen and if you have a conscience, you will feel the pangs of regret welling up in you!
