It is interesting to me that the human body works as an absolute survival machine, yet can create the need to kill itself. Our bodies are capable of surviving without food for extended periods of time, running for miles on end without need for rest, and an entire system dedicated to keeping our bodies free of harmful diseases. Then comes the fact that a chemical imbalance can occur in our brain and completely throw all that off and have our mind, thoughts, and actions become suicidal. (1/2)
