Why are we capable of suicide and self inflicted injuries?

Question

Isn't this a paradox to evolution?

Answer 1

Because we emphasize it, thus we create more of it. Like Freddy Kreuger, the more people fear him, the more powerful he gets :)

Answer 2

Because we have self will and have the power to do anything of that nature we choose

Answer 3

Depression and low self-esteem can do weird things to your mind.  We can convince ourselves that we are worthless.

The need to self inflict injuries is to remind us we can still feel.

You need professional help when you reach this point.

Its not normal...you need to learn how to feel..with your heart.

And to feel safe enought to know it is alright to hurt , to cry, ..it is the only way to release your pain...HUGS!!

Answer 4

We are capable because we are humans with human emotions. We can feel despair, hopelessness, grief, depression

Answer 5

Because we have access to high building tops and sharp objects and to experience death from doing bad stuff with either.
