Is THIS Success?

By Rex Duenas

Every second someone around the world attempts suicide. One every 40 seconds succeed. - but is that success? The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that every year, almost one million people die from suicide; a "global" mortality rate of 16 per 100,000, or one death every 40 seconds.

Suicide worldwide is estimated to represent 1.8% of the total global burden of disease in 1998, and 2.4% in countries with market and former socialist economies in 2020. Traditionally suicide rates have been highest among the male elderly, but rates among young people have been increasing, in both developed and developing countries. Mental disorders (particularly depression and alcohol use disorders) are a major risk factor for suicide. Suicide is complex with psychological, social, biological, cultural and environmental factors involved. But the cause is FAILURE!

Only a minority, of course, go to this extreme,
but the overwhelming majority do end their lives in failure.

Much of the world is in current "prosperity." Yet more businesses failed in a very recent year than in the other in the last 30 years. Across the world streaks the shocking trend of increasing failures. Scores of millions daily allow the creeping cancer of FAILURE to chain them to a life of unhappy circumstances, from which only death promises release.

But WHY?

WHY are only the very few really successful? is it mere chance - can it be luck? Or are there definite reasons?

WHY do all but the very few find themselves, by age 60 or 65, dependents? Why must there be old-age pensions, social security system, charity institutions? Why must children so often provide for their aged parents - when it ought to be the other way around?

There are definite causes! I am going to tell you! The basic laws that govern success! It is high time people come to know them, and end this unhappy and needless tragedy!
