Sir, I remember you telling me to ‘write about it’. And I have used that so many times over the years. When faced with a problem or a challenge, I have found myself going in circles in my head. But when I do put it down in paper, somehow everything, every angle is captured and I can see the issue clearly. I think that step – to be able to see the facts clearly – helps in resolution of the conflict.

I was moved by what you said about empathy – it being in short supply in the world. I wonder why. Is it because we have limited mental and emotional bandwidth or is it because we are consumed by the demands of our own existence, that we miss those cues of help that our friends or family have been asking?

Even thinking of answers to these questions is difficult. Writing is really tough.
I had made it compulsory for employees to write mistakes done by them during last one year and learning from it. Most of them could not identify them in writing.

You have brought out well the issue of depression and how conversation with friend/ mentor/ counsellor can resolve the same . In this materialistic world , very few would find time /take interest in solving others problems. one more aspect may be chemicals imbalance in brain of the depressed people which can be cured thru proper medical treatment.
Thanks for your valuable comments on the subject

Your questions are useful for a person, who in their ‘state’ of confusion, wishes to take responsibility for living despite the odds. A willingness to be vulnerable and enjoy what comes of life, despite what is a dead-end.
If I may, in a manner of speaking, the one who is confused beyond what others may consider as ‘rational’ behavior; their sense of helplessness is colluded with a sense of hopelessness, at times in a cold self-imposed aloofness and/or loneliness. As you are aware, solitude is a far more formidable state.
Your points on empathy are valid. Just that the degree of compassion or concern empathy is a cultivated skill, and a scarce one at that in our times.
Am glad you have a voice you bear on this issue; sane and sound in it’s solemn statements. It bears the dignity of one who has just moved through significant grieving to bear the responsibility to share.

Highly appreciate talking about the subject of suicide immediate after an unfortunate event. In recent months, there have been more than 2000 cases of suicide in Japan in a single month. These kind of numbers are alarming globally. As you mentioned empathy and continuous communication is vital element and a great support. Most of the times, a person alone fails to handle the pressure and would need an outside support
