Since I read this article from The New York Times Magazine when a friend posted it a week ago, I haven't been able to get it out of my mind. “The more obstacles you can throw up, the more you move it away from being an impulsive act. And once you’ve done that, you take a lot of people out of the game. If you look at how people get into trouble, it’s usually because they’re acting impulsively, they haven’t thought things through. And that’s just as true with suicides as it is with traffic accidents.”—Dr. Matthew Miller, associate director of the Injury Control Research Center
