Because suicide is rarely logical, and is often prevented by having an external stimulus (sign, friend, helpline) address you in a logical manner. When people are having suicidal thoughts which are serious enough to attempt it, their thoughts are almost always incredibly mangled and chaotic. Seeing something to shake you out of that daze is the purpose of that sign.

I just walked the golden gate a few weeks ago to see the sunset.

Because it was Oscar night, I didn't think there would be many people if any on it.

How wrong I was.
What was supposed to be a relaxing quiet stroll ended up having all kinds of people everywhere. I felt out of place as I was the only one alone.

At least the sunset and moonrise were beautiful

A lot of people don't. I have had a lot of luck with meditation. Some people swear by therapy, by I was never trusting enough for it.

In the end though, it's about figuring out how to be satisfied with how things are. Realizing that your suffering is caused by your mistaken perceptions - the things you think are real but aren't, like love, or shame, or death. The ideas placed in your head by a destructive culture of consumption, performance, and idealism.

There is a book - The Joy of Living - by a Buddhist rinpoche (great teacher) that i found very enlightening.

I have been practicing meditation for about a month now and it really does help. It does take a lot of practice and experimentation with what works best for you to do well though.

Hitting water with enough impact makes it behave like a solid for a brief moment, so it's essentially like falling onto concrete. Falling from a high enough bridge will result in broken bones at the very least, and because of that you're likely to drown even if the impact doesn't kill you.

Yes taking simple steps like that also will greatly improve your life, just being aware of everything and knowing everything about yourself helps you understand a lot. Meditation can be difficult for people new to it because it's so personal, if your head gets flooded with too many thoughts and you get sidetracked during your session it's ruined, and you can't take yourself anywhere peaceful in your head easily because you were never mentally aware of the world on that level before so you never thought of places in it as reference points of serenity, then it's going to much harder. But it's nowhere near impossible to get into if you were never spiritual in the first place. Anyone can with practice really but like you said learning those simple steps to opening your perception first is always good and will help with it a lot.

When I say mediation is difficult, I mean that it's difficult to get to where psychedelics take you. No doubt meditation brings many benefits even if you're nowhere near the 'enlightenment' level, like relaxation, stress relief and clearer thoughts, but I feel too many people think that's all it does, and are unaware of the places it can take you if you really get into it.

>>10602316
>I don't really like having to be settled with how things are.
Think about this sentence in a more meta way. You're not satisfied by being satisfied with how things are. This is the mistake that you can fix. It's not that you have to settle with how things are, but rather accept them in a way that truly makes you happy no matter what problems you might have. What you really said in your sentence could be understood as "I don't really like being truly happy". It's critical that you realize that the only way holding you back from happiness is your own self-imposed belief that you shouldn't be happy.
Sorry if this doesn't make much sense, hopefully the books recommended can explain this better.

Honestly if we were to rank realities on a sliding scale from uninhabitable, dystopia, all the way up to paradise, I don't think we'd be too far above dystopia (and places like NK certainly are a dystopia). We're pretty shit-tier and saying "it could be worse" doesn't really mean anything does it?

BTW: I don't mean to say that the entire universe (or multi-verse) is shit, nor that the earth is shit(the earth is pretty fucking awesome actually), but there are no shortage of things to complain about and hate. The problems we face are pretty much solely self inflicted and could be solved trivially with but a minimum degree of global effort.
