You Suicide?

So far, I lost several friends due to suicide. Every time when I hear news about suicide, I remember faces of the friends and think what this society was for them. I read a news and an article in magazine about suicide yesterday.



In Japan, now, the second most common cause of death among national government employees is suicide. The commonest cause of death is cancer. Third most common cause is cardiac disease.



The cause of suicide is hard work. Government cut employees and it caused hard work situation. Hard work caused mental illness. Employees who suffered from it take days off which cause harder work for healthy employees etc. Then Healthy ones suffered from mental illness etc. It is a negative spiral.



I think civil-service workers are blessed with the situation. Now 10% of workers at medium and small companies have thought of suicide in the past one year. They work in serious bad situation. Exporting companies are in excellent condition now. But domestic demand oriented industries are still in bad situation in many cases. Workers face impossible quotas.



It is said 21th century would be "the age of heart" in end of 20th century in Japan. It has realized. Now many people suffered from mental problems. "The age of heart" means Japanese people value spiritual richness in 21th century. So, we face contradictory result now.



Japan is destined to be forced to make most competitive products. But awkward shape development absolutely collapse life of Japanese. Then it would affect competitive edge of Japan. It is a negative spiral. We need to think of this society again.



This society is a serial Killer. At least, it was a serial killer for them who died.



Well I have to go.
