hello mozart

i do not know of any specific references to suicide in the loo, but my instinctive reaction that suicide is an sts choice, -which is quite paradoxical given that it involves self destruction.

there is a book which interviews survivors who jumped off the golden gate bridge. one of them said that as soon as he jumped, he realized that everything that had led to his decision was inconsequential . that the only important thing was his life.

often the suicide doesn't want to kill himself, but a part of himself. in the case of your friend it seems as though he wants to kill the part of himself that brought about his financial ruin. this can be done without resorting to drowning himself. many people have survived and thrived after losing everything.

often such a misfortune can lead to a rebirth, which is what i think your friend is looking for, only in not quite the right way.

in times of misfortune, (and fortune) i often remember an old rosicrucian saying:

"every circumstance in my life is god dealing with my soul"

in bringing this to mind, it adds a new perspective to a situation, and encourages me to use this circumstance for the good. maybe it might help your friend. certainly i am sure there are many agencies in your area such as lifeline available to offer your friend free counselling and advice
