I don't get the murder suicide thing. It seems like a wuss way out. Either own your actions or just do yourself in. Why you gotta involve someone else?

This post is painful and honest in a distinctive way. 

It's hard to ignore this truth: many people live on the edge, and some don’t know how to cope with pain, so they explode in tragic ways.

I could see myself losing the will to live if I was paralysed or something like that. I am not sure if I would actually dare to kill myself. But I guess if I would be paralyzed I would not even have that option.

It's so difficult to really *know* anything from statistics. In years gone by, I assume it was far more common for the local sheriff to write up murder/suicides as accidents (for the sake of extended family honour etc). 
Do you include the guy in his 90's, who's wife has very late stage cancer stirring something into the teapot and making sure they go out together? 
Statistically that's an extremely violent act.

A friend of mine worked as a prison guard for many years and told me that drug dealers, arsonists and thieves look like drug dealers, arsonists and thieves; but murderers just look like normal, regular people. Maybe the professional murderers are better at not getting caught. 

I'm personally more comfortable with the idea of killing somebody than I've been in the past. Maybe that's being a Dad; but if somebody's clearly abusing their existence privileges and represents a clear, even distant threat to my family I don't think I'd feel much trauma or regret storing them underground for safe keeping. 
On the flipside, I'm far less likely than ever to just snap and kill somebody in anger. 

>domestic violence is nowhere near as bad today as it was,

How do you know this? We are sold a great many illusions. I wonder if this is one of them. Until this moment, I would have said the same thing, but it's not righing true to me now. 

There is no need to kill a girlfriend, you can simply break up. In marriage it is not as simple and way more expensive,  but still divorce is a much better option than murder.

I don't get why people snap like that...

Domestic violence hadn't really changed for decades affecting one in three women. In the past year, we've seen a worsening situation in schools in the UK with 70% of teachers reporting an increase in sexism including boys and young men barking at women teachers.

The rate at which moral decadence is spreading in society today is honestly alarming. It touches almost every part of our lives; from relationships to how we treat strangers. Things that were once seen as shameful or completely unacceptable now happen daily, and sadly, we often call it civilization or freedom.

I recently made a post about how many couples are facing serious issues, not because love isn't there, but because they haven’t learned to manage themselves emotionally. The truth is that emotional maturity is disappearing. People are quick to react as they often slow to reflect and even slower to take responsibility for their actions.

In addition, pressure from work, the economy, loneliness, and the constant noise from social media. We’re losing the very things that used to keep us grounded: values, patience, community, and a sense of right and wrong, and it's shameful. 

Society is falling, relationship is falling, understanding and tolerance to each other is falling; everything has been material and showoff. It has become difficult to have a clean-living.
