doing harakiri
son: why are so many people nowadays doing harakiri?
father: Adrian: doing harakiri is not a joke; it means committing suicide. As to why people do such a rash and irrational act, G-d only knows. It's probably because they have reached a point in their existence where they don't know what to do. They can't even find G-d's eternal mercy in a religious setting and they don't understand that there's always hope for a recovery if you are not mentally ill, no matter how hopeless the situation may be. But who cares, because mentally ill people can't make the rational choice to commit suicide.
