A Question...

You are in a dramatic position where you are witnessing someone going to suicide. That someone has a knife in his or her hands, and is pointing the sharp end towards his or her throat using both hands. As you can see, both hands are full. You want to prevent his or her suicide. Analyzing the situation using your god speed reflexes and powers of time manipulation, you decided that you are able to prevent her suicide. You do this by:

1. Grabbing his or her hand, immobilizing him or her and preventing the suicide.

2. Knocking the knife out of his or her hand.

3. Be an asshole and do nothing.

4. Shout to intimidate, hoping to shock him or her to stop.

5. Grab the knife with bare hands like a man, enduring the pain while gore blood pours out of your hand.

6. Take out a gun and threaten him or her, using obviously not that suicider's life but your own. I don't want to know where you get the gun.

The most effective way to prevent his or her suicide... is number 5. It isn't because its badass, and shows people how man you are. Its psychology... The best way to prevent the suicide is probably number 1, because you don't wanna get hurt. (Unless your a masochist. Come to think of it masochists must die a pleasurable death since they gain pleasure from pain. Consider to convert yourself to one to make your death less painful next time.) But you aren't taking whats happening in people's mind.

If you think about it, most people when suiciding, face a great decision of whether to kill themselves or not. Fear is preventing that person from stabbing the throat. And people DO NOT want to die(what about masochists?). If people wants to suicide, there is a reason. The reason being having a screwed life. These people WANT to be saved by someone. By grabbing that knife, blood comes out. Unless you have a metallic hand. This blood shocks the person suiciding. It gives an image of what would happen if he or she actually suicided, and also because it shows him or her that you actually care. As an added bonus, you get to show off how badass you really are and your ability to resist pain.

Of course, in a successful attempt, there is NO showing painful face or wince or scream. If your a masochist don't show the ecstasy face. Mr bean faces do not work also.

SHIT! THATS SCARY! I'LL SUICIDE IF THIS HOLDS THE KNIFE WITH BARE,BLOODY HANDS

By showing that bloody hand, an unmoving serious and sincere face, the suicider is set to think again. ''Someone do care about me. Why is this person risking blood for me? Is it wrong for me to die?'' Ask yourself and your friends. If a friend were to say to you : '' Hey can you grab this knife like REALLY hard until blood gores out if i were to die if you don't?'' If all of the people gave you the longest finger on their hands, thats probably about 7 or 8 cm, or if they explicitly told you ''Fuck you'', you might find yourself... a little bit lonely. But the thing is, people would not do this if they had an alternative. People hesitate between these decisions of suffering pain for another. By showing no hesitation to grabbing that bloody(going to be) knife, you show that the suicider's life is worth saving.

The blood confirms the suicider's suspicion of someone caring. The more blood and the faster it comes out the better the effect here. Oh and finally,

LEGAL CLAIM: THIS BLOG IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY INJURING OF HANDS WHILE GRABBING KNIVES FOR ANY PURPOSES, SUCH AS SAVING LIVES OR PRACTICING(?) OR FOR PHYSICAL PLEASURES.
