One of your classmates sent me an article by email which I thought I just had to share with you.
You know? I was totally baffled a couple of weeks ago when I became aware that the number # 1 cause of death in Spain (and many developed countries) is SUICIDE. Not cardiac arrests, lung cancer or any other, but SUICIDE. Thinking about that breaks my heart, to be honest; how someone could be that desperate, to the point of taking their own life is downright disheartening. I just cannot imagine what a person must be feeling to make such a drastic and extreme choice. I don't think that generically blaming things on society helps at all. I think in many cases, that attitude is a shortcut to not hold oneself accountable for things we do and avoid facing the consequences of our actions. However, today's age of "dopamine on demand" (as Mike Matthews puts it) is not helping at all.
Find here the link to the article and make sure you read it and understand it. Really, really riveting insights:
