Suicidal Thoughts Help- Reflecting Upon the Thoughts of Dr. Jerry Johnston There is that other kind of murder that is increasing at an appalling rate among us - Suicide. There have been apostates in all ages that have touted and advocated suicide as a justifiable means of release from trial and difficulty. “When I analyze the question, Why suicide? Two words sum up the attitude of the suicidal person: hopelessness and helplessness. The suicidal person feels locked in a situation that is without hope and beyond help. Looking at the problem, the individual is convinced there is no way out. No hope. No possible solution. No way can that anything be really „normal‟ again. No way to ever really love again. No way to succeed in life. No way.” Excerpted from Jerry Johnston, Why Suicide? (Nashville: Oliver Nelson, 1987), 121.
