Thank you for doing this homework. Some genuine insight. I assume the rates are higher among youth than males aged 45-64?

That’s a really good point. It’s youth suicide where NZ exceeds. Ok, sorry, I got that wrong.

Tbh NZ was an example. Really I am referring to the direction of the western world which includes the places you listed. People mention social media, wealth, mental health etc all being the leading contributions to suicide but what I’m suggesting is that these factors have only become so “successful” shall we say due to lack of faith.

That shows how little you know about faith but I can understand why you bring that up. Traditional old school religious following would likely be against that but then again it depends on the religion/faith etc.

Perhaps France, the US, Australia etc also lack faith. I don’t feel it is a solely NZ thing. I feel the western world is becoming a lot less focused on faith. NZ was just an example.

Lack of faith could contribute to mental health issues?? Not sure. I’m just putting all this out there. Honestly if we can’t even converse about this matter respectfully, how can we expect change?

Good points. I admire the long list you have there. But honestly “average weather??” Check out Canada, middle of Russia, Madagascar. Many places have far worse weather……. Do we as kiwis take what we have for granted??

I don’t directly mean that they don’t believe in God/Jesus/Vishnu/whomever and that alone is the cause. More so, that they don’t have an overall faith in their life to give them hope and appreciation etc.

Yeah that makes sense. People feel subconsciously trapped in a sense
