Not everything is lost….
Suicidio – Suicide : the deliberate and intentional destruction of one’s own life
I know it can be considered a creepy image….
To me is also a way to depict the want of NOT SEE….do not want to face the truth, to face the fears, to face life….and this is a kind of death….and a self imposed one…. Many times I got that feeling….and many times I was able to get out, look straight and move to solve the matters….
The picture was taken in one of the rehearsals for a theater play I’m in…an then worked in Photoshop

Interesting piece and concept. I truly believe that suicide should be far more opnely discussed. There is such a stigma but in my opinion it is reaching more people than ever, especially creatively sensitive types. I also believe that the best way to embrace depression and suicidal thoughts is to slow down and really ask what you are feeling. Many times I have lost zest for life and each time I have gone deep for why I have returned to life with more faith than before.
I truly believe that many of us try to sugar coat each other rather than get to the truths of emotion and life. Depression and suicide is real and is growing. Life itself is in my opinion losing connection to true heart and as a result many deeply sensitive people are being challenged by life. The sooner we embrace this the sooner we can collectively bond and restore life to being from the heart rather than allowing it to further slip into an existence of protection and fear.

Dear Tony….first I just want to thank you for all the thoughful comments you do , always….i admire you for it and apreciate each and everyone of them! I regret I can not take time to do the same in return, though I go through images on the group and fav the ones that stir in me….and then go back with inspiration to make a new image…
Yes, you are right, sensitive people are more inclined to ever consider suicide… As you said in another comment, sometimes is hard to feel so different and out of the world….though I enjoy being different too! It is the cost to feel so lonely, sometimes…
World value for human beings and life in general are on the toilet….We are considered as numbers, and economical and material matters are all that count…. it is hard to live in such a world… I was raised in believing in Spirituality, and many many times I had a sense that leaving this material world would be better and liberating, but I also believe that if i part, i will carry with me all the lugagge, there is not real solution in death, but I need to solve or develop here fully, to have a better life wherever I go afterwards…
I also believe that the world always try to sugar the sufferings that causes us…. Many years ago I read a book that was very enlightening “The primal scream”. In this book it was said that it was good to plunge into emotions to reach the cause of suffering and overcome it, and thus stop being a neurotic living dead person…. It is not easy, but …

Hi Daniela,
Thanks so much for your response. You write so beautifully and with such wisdom. I agree so much with what you say. I pray for more people to start thinking as you do. I believe we very much need to find leaders prepared to search deeply into emotion as material life in my opinion is growing so far apart from true heart purity.
Best Wishes Tony.
