Top 3 Ways to Commit Suicide (Notes from Under the Tatami Mats–27 … My Adventures in Japan)

in #japan6 years ago (edited)

“In no other nation was ritual disembowelment practiced.”

Impressive.    

In light of methods #1 and #3, you godda give the Japanese credit for originality. In no other nation was ritual disembowelment practiced. Not to mention that it was practiced as late as 1970.

Of course, hara-kiri is a ritualistic method that is rarely practiced nowadays – if ever.             (Image source)

On the other hand, the Japanese came up with method #1, which became rather popular a few years back. Who says they are no longer innovative?

@majes.tytytyI know that Japan the working environment is strict. But I even heard that sleeping in office will not be an issue as its considered due to overwork. Is it right?

In Japan and different countries in Asia, it's quite acceptable to take a nap at your desk during your long work day. I've known many people who do so, and I've done it once or twice myself.

At the same time, those same people usually work long hours. That's reason enough to tolerate a little nap now and then.

Oh! thanks for your response. So if I understand correctly if you take a nap you manager will become angry only if your work is not done properly. If you are perfect and do your job well they don't mind. am I correct?

Yep!

@majes.tytyty thanks for this wonderful overview.

I really don't see the benefit of celebrating human self sacrifice.

I don't believe there is any noble or problematic reason alone to end your life.

Suicide is a real issue, especially amongst our youth.

We need more awareness. If this post does anything at all, I hope it creates awareness for this issue (suicide and self torture).

What does this have to do with methods of committing suicide in Japan?

Hahaha the dude is catching some fun.

Life is not perfect.......
It has its ups and downs......
If life knocks you down it is up to you whether you stay down or you get up and strike life so hard that it thinks 100 before striking you again.....
We should never be hopeless....
Dark and difficult times lie ahead it is up to you to to light them with hope and happiness....
I think that suicide is never a solution but in our society people are just so disturbing and they keep on pushing others beyond their limits...... And only suicide seems like a great way.....
We should also be friendly and good to each other. This is why we are the best creations of God, we have choices to make. We can go for good and for bad. It is up to us what to choose!
But people should always remember that "Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light".

What TF does time travel have to do with the methods Japanese use to commit suicide? Pray tell...
