A few days ago i was shocked with a bad news. It was a news of suicide. The victim was my senior in the varsity. He committed suicide by jumping from the roof of a six floor building. Although it was a hall building of our University. After jumping from the building he was alive for two hours. At that time he was in life support in the hospital. At first we all were assuming it as an accident. Because he was a good person and always remained in happy in front of us. But after a few hours, a suicide note was found in his room. Which was written by him. We all were shocked after hearing it. It was unimaginable for all.

In an interview, Yuval Noah Harari told that, we are living in an era in which people die in suicide more than attacked by terrorists.

Yuval Noah Harari is an famous writer and historian. Who is an scientist also. He wrote the Sapiens: a brief history of humankind book. He told it in the basis that 500 years ago people being assassinated by terrorist very often. But now we become more civilised and these Types of assassination has decreased dramatically. But suicide increased a lot. In fact some civilised countries are inventing new and developed methods for committing suicide. Which is really shocking for the world.

Why people are doing suicide? Why suicide are increasing day by day? What is the reason behind this?

I Don't know the appropriate reason of these. I don't know whether it is appropriate reason or not that i know. But here i will identify some reason that is the cause of suicide i think.

Loneliness.

Loneliness is one of the biggest reason behind this increasing rate of suicide. Then one question arise. What make people lonely. I think technological development make people more lonely.

By the help of technology now we can reach people from one corner of the world to another corner. But by doing so we have forgot the importance of communication directly. People, especially the young generation of our country, spend more time on their online activities then in playing with friends or gossiping with families. These make our concentration on the virtual world and make us disconnect from the physical world.

Technological development made people assembled in the city. Jobs are becoming more and more city centered. People are willingly living in cities for living more easy and developed life. They are becoming more selfies and self centered gradually. In my views, people in the cities are not care about each others.

Destruction of family system is another cause. People are becoming modern and they are willingly living alone. They are coming out from the family system. Whereas family always stay besides it members in their bad times. Due to not having family people are becoming fully alone in the old age.

Depression.

It is another causes of suicide. Even this is the biggest cause. Depression can comes from loneliness or another things like separation. Depression kills people. But if people can share their loneliness and depression with others then it can be reduced.

We need to support those people who are in depression. Although we regret when a person died but when he was alive very few cared about him. We need to build a connected world where people can share their depression easily. We need to create a comfort zone for our friends and family. We need not run only after material needs.

Joblessness.

Joblessness creates depression. People in our society do not takes jobless people in a good manner. People avoid them and sometimes people demotivate them as well.

Breakups and separation.

In our country this is a Prime cause of suicide for young generation. Young boys committing suicide after their breakup in relationship. This can be reduced by the cooperation of family and proper education about it. We need to make social connectivity and social education more and more.

As i have seen in my experience these are the causes of suicide in general. I have discussed what i have seen in my country. There can be some difference with your society. But it is definitely true that suicide is a big problem nowadays world. Social connectivity and family cooperation need to be increased to prevent it.
