CEO at World Mental Health Forum
Against all odds, against all handicaps, against the chamber of horrors we call history, man has continued to dream and to depict its opposite. That is what we have to do. We do not escape into philosophy, psychology, and art – we go there to restore our shattered selves into whole ones. —Anaïs Nin
There are probably as many attempts to explain suicide as there are human beings. Our experience of life says that no reason is the one. Because while every brook and river eventually flows into the sea, each does so after its very own marvelous, breathtaking and unspeakable journey. And while it seems to be generally accepted that grief is a natural reaction to significant loss, how can we say that ending one's life by suicide isn't a natural reaction to apparently endless significant lack of conditions to thrive? So how is suicide not the ultimate expression of grief? —Harald Walter Azmann and Margot Azmann, CEO's at World Mental Health Forum (WMHF), a global roundtable continually defining what we envision life worth living on this planet is truly all about, and what it's not.
