I am more of an upstream person than a last minute save them type. I try and treat people with kindness and tell folks that I like and matter to me that I like them and that they matter to me. People who I know are suffering I try and give them the support I can, and or suggest better support options.
That said, If I saw a stranger 'jump' so to speak, I wouldn't stop them. I don't know what kind of crazy messed up situation I am keeping them in.
Don't get me wrong, it would be an awful feeling, something I hope that I would never have to experience.
But the bottom line is the planet is over populated, and self destructive people are filling institutions and casuing public harm. Should we invest in ways to make suicide a less desirable option. Absoluetly, but should we force people to keep living even if they don't want to?
