Escapes

Everyone has their own way of avoiding the stresses of their normal lives. whether its something as simple as walking, or things a little more complex like puzzles or reading, people almost always seem to have something to fall back on to avoid the rough patches in their life. While browsing through the internet I came across this rather disturbing video. A video about those who believe that they have nothing more to fall back on.

It's not necessary to watch the whole video but it seems to be an interesting phenomena that people would choose to go to such a beautiful area in order to commit acts of suicide. Perhaps when people have nothing to escape to, they choose to return to nature and reflect on whether or not living is something that is worthwhile. With such a fleeting thing that life is, maybe some individuals would choose to end it the way they want instead of whatever fate would have in store for them. It's not a bad concept I suppose, a life of pure misery must not be easy to live through at all. Everyone has their own problems to deal with, however, suicide just never seems like the optimal path to handle problems.
