Wreck on the highway
It started in the late eighties, in Denmark of all places. Since then it has become very popular all over the world. It goes like this:
Truck drivers are shaken by a series of spectacular suicides. Drivers wait until the last second and then make a sharp turn to collide front to front with the truck. It’s usually done on a highway, in high speed. The car and its driver, of course are like mashed potatoes after such a brutal, deliberate collision. There is hardly anything left to bury.
Therapists treating the surviving truck drivers were initially baffled by all this. Since then, after the phenomenon began spreading a hint of fear has been added. They started investigating it further, and found that over half of the front to front collisions in Scandinavia and Northern Europe from 1989 to 1999 had been premeditated.
This in “the happiest countries in the world”, according to establishment “research”.
There has never been much about this in the establishment media. It has been going on for forty years, now, without anything even resembling front page coverage.
Fences have been put up between lanes, even where the lanes are divided, to no avail. People wanting to commit suicide will do so, no matter the security measures. Obviously.
Committing suicide is illegal, as I understand it. At least you might be locked up without a trial “for your own protection” if you survive. But the thing is with many suicidal people: they are very committed to their cause. Various governments have done a lot to keep people from jumping from The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco and other bridges, without much success. If people want to die and are very determined there isn’t any easy way to stop them.
Obviously not.
Must be very frustrating.
PS. I would keep fighting until my last breath, would never commit suicide, would never even consider it, except in beyond extreme circumstances, but I can understand why some people, overwhelmed by despair do. We live in a horrible, destructive, downright inhuman society, and some people see suicide as the only way out.
