The suicide rate is as much about the cultural erosion of faith, as it is about the economy.
Inded this is a truism, I have thought about what things over the last few weeks and have read many a online comment board...only to find myself feeling hopeless. This is the result of taking people's faith away from them in so many ways. From their faith in God...to their faith in themselves to manage their own lives...to faith in their circumstances improving... Hope can only exist if one has faith.
