Today - 2nd October - is the agreed International Day of Non-Violence (chosen because it was the birthday of Gandhi).
Whether we are pacifist or not, and whatever our personal views on military matters, it seems a suitable day to reflect on the extreme violence against self that suicide represents, and ask ourselves what more each of us can do to help prevent people - especially gay teens - taking their own lives in despair.
Good thoughts to all those who have posted here recently about actions they are taking, urging others to follow.
"The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. ... Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night devoid of stars." Martin Luther King
