Suicide

   Being human means we all think of dying.  Our ultimate power is that we are capable of taking our own lives.  Losing the will to live afflicts most of us as we age, realizing that which used to be can not be forever.  It's a passive state of mind in  most cases, and life goes on.  Suicide prevails in some, when everything is internalized to the point where nothing  outside self matters. 
    Though a person may proclaim deep love for spouse, family, friends, that love is subsumed by self-obsession.  There is danger in looking too deeply or thinking too much.  Suicide is not a passive surrender; it is an outright act of  aggression.  While a few may successfully obliterate their existence on earth, most leave the spoils of their war for others to clean up.  Anyone who professes love for others  profanes  that avowed love by creating a grisly scene which will be for eternity etched in the minds of whoever finds what the suicide has left.
