Dear Alffe,
Yes, of course I understood it was about trying to "make sense of suicide".

I did read and understand their point. I was really hoping for more input about the topic from others actually. I sometimes think we tend to feel more than we think or do. I include myself although sometimes I think too much!!!

I think it's a very important point that the author was making.

I doubt if I had a hundred more years that I'll ever be able to make sense of it all. Coming from both a personal level and also from a more scientific perspective, I think that there is more to IT than what is currently being studied.

I wonder about genetics.

I wonder about predisposition to conditions that may affect the way we think, but mostly I've come to think about impulse.

I also was reading on the PsychCentral site today about how if a person has attempted suicide at some time in their life then they're at so much greater risk of it happening again.

I *see*/read people talking and able to share thoughts here and I see what good that must be really and truly. For the life of me though, I don't think it's all about secrets and family problems or conditions like depression wholly.

just my thoughts for what they're worth.

Let's talk about IT
