The author's opinion on suicide is of interest because the author himself attempted suicide twice. Suicide is a fairly common occurrence. In the United States, 125 suicides are committed daily. In some cases, suicides are committed quickly, immediately upon the appearance of an impulse to commit suicide; in another case, the impulse lasts two or three years, until it is expressed in its final form. In these cases, the time, place, circumstances and conditions of the situation for the production of the act are carefully weighed.
