Article describes classes of thoughts that causes suicidal tendencies. Which is good recreational read but practically useless.
Then article self-derails in disfunctional, impractical advises (for the lack of having anything better), such as:
"this information helps you to meta-cognitively puncture suicidal ideation"
or:
"scientific knowledge changes perspective. And perspective changes everything".
This works all great in theory but absolutely fails in real life with real people.
It reality it's the deep and sharp inner pain that causes people to be driven to suicide. In suicide prevention - the cause of pain absolutely does not matter. What matters - is to teach people to transcend that inner pain. People only know how to suppress, express, or escape pain. Mostly via distractions, entertainment, chemicals and sex.
Suicide is an ultimate act of taking the strongest pain killer.
When other painkillers no longer works - and pain grows too sharp, and person does not know anything better - that seems to be the best way out.
The ultimate suicide guidance teaches people how, instead of running away from inner emotional and physical pain, turn toward it, observe, see it for what it really is and
let it dissolve in irreversible manner.
When person transcends pain in this way - by facing it, observing it, feeling it - not only it causes the pain itself to dissolve - the situation or painful past that caused the pain to be in the first place - fails to re-ignite and fails to cause pain any longer.
That's it the ultimate healing direction.
That's the real way up from puny, harmless "positivive thinking" toward any thinking. When any thought, any memory, any recollection, no matter how "negative" fails to cause you to feel inner pain.
