OK, this one isn't about a single person, but I couldn't think of a better thread for it. It's sure not a "feel-good" story, unless you support the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement.
Suicides are up in Japan lately. Way, way up. As in more people killing themselves in October alone than COVID deaths in all of 2020. Suicides among women have increased by 83%; men only by 22% – although that increase still leaves men with a higher raw number (1302 males as opposed to 851 females). For further contrast, the overall rate of Japanese suicides had actually decreased in 2019 ... and then 2020 brought it roaring back.

God made me an agnostic — who are you to question His wisdom?
