Throughout the history,from the Elite class to the ordinary man,people have committed suicide to release themselves from wordy ordeals and to attain eternal peace

       
 For centuries, the Japanese class Samuria followed the harakiri or happy dispatch, the suicidal act of honour, The government graciously permitted criminals of the Samuria class to destroy themselves instead of being handed over to the common executioner. Time and place were officially notified to the condemned, and officially were sent to witness the ceremony. The person committed suicide by cutting his stomach and dying violently. The act regarded as courageous and glorified by tradition has been publicly glorified by tradition has been publicly performed by some famous individuals.
 In China ,when the peasants rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, the government failed to crush the rebels who besieged the Forbidden city, the Capital.When the Ming Emperor lost all hope to save himself  to protect the honor of his dynasty.During the Nazi period, there was conspiracy against Hitler. He suspected General Rommel, known as Desert Fox, of being involved in it. He sent Rommel a message advising him to kill himself, in which case , the funeral would be honored by the state. Otherwise, he would be tried as a conspirator and face execution. Realizing that in both cases death was inevitable, Rommel preferred suicide. Again, ironically, Hitler and his wife Ava Brow too committed suicide when the Russian forces were invading Berlin. His ministers Goebbels also committed suicide along with his family.

     There are other examples, when people or parties collectively committed suicide. In two instances the Jews decided to commit suicide collectively in case of Masada which was besieged by the Romans and in the Rhineland when they were threatened by the Crusaders. In the united states some religious cults also collectively committed suicide fearing the end of the world.

      The Japanese also used suicide bomber (Kamikaze) during World War II to destroy warships of the Allies. The practice was followed by the Tamil tigers in Sri Lanka in their struggle for a separate homeland. The Palestinians used suicide bombers against Israel for the liberation of their homeland. The Taliban are also using suicide bombers for a religious cause. However, suicide bombers could not accomplish their objectives except to create fear, anarchy, chaos and disorder.

Some famous personalities like Hemingway the novelist; Marlin Monroe, the actress; and Fassbinder, the German filmmaker also committed suicide. Sadly, some individuals or groups, after losing all hope decided to die as a solution to their problems. The question is that who is responsible  for this state of despair, the society or the individuals .???
