Notes concerning why people die from psychological pain

"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world" — Anne Frank.                 I'm about to discuss the most taboo topic on Earth because it's the awareness day of it. Not only is it an issue of intersecting socio-economic-political-cultural spheres, but it is also influenced by the social-political-cultural and economic environment. Most importantly and critically, it is a very personal and very existential issue.                 Its causes could be preteen bullying about one's body, bullying at the teenage stage due to your autism, or, the inevitable social alienation-social isolation-loneliness caused by your generation moving on to start families and enter family life, and, not having time for them to spend going to concerts.                 In particular, it affects people like me.                 The mind of people that suffer from it are tortured by psychological pain, and, ambivalent on what to do next, an internal struggle.                 It isn't self murder, or "violence against self". It isn't something that could be defined by the circular logic that goes: "an insane act because people who do it are insane". It is, according to the empathizing psychologist Edwin Shneidman, a death from psychological pain, or psychache.                 owing to family honor and socio-cultural-religious taboos, individual Filipinos, that is, people from the Philippines, suffering from psychological pain, do not die directly: they die from alcoholism.                 A movement of insecure men hate themselves more than they hate women or hate men in an relationship, but "feminism" doesn't seem to listen and empathize with their fellow human being; they would rather listen to the echo chamber they built upon themselves.                 If machines can make happiness, indistinguishable from the real happiness, then, maybe, there is hope in a way: through the eradication of suffering, or, abolitionism, in this god-forsaken world.
