Hopelessness is making the suicide rate rise. Satan is keeping people in hopeless nonbelief.
Fear is a liar.
Yeah, Hopelessness May be a cause. Another concept...Maybe they are bored with living. Or hows about constant pain with no cure and hopelessness. I think Robin Williams had that sort of problem. Death from Alcoholism is another form of self inflicted death. I really wish old people would go to live music rock concerts to get their energies reved up.
