The Society to Prevent Suicide Prevention

Hey!  Why are you marching in the wrong direction?  We're all going this way.

I realize that, and I appreciate what you think you're trying to do.  You're marching to prevent suicide, and that's admirable of you.


Well, thanks, but, what are you marching for?


I'm marching to prevent suicide prevention.  I'm a member of SPSP, the Society to Prevent Suicide Prevention.


What?  Really?  That's crazy!


I'm sorry if I offend you.  I'm sure your intentions are good.  But I'm actually suicidal myself, and I don't want to be prevented by you.  I need to die.  I want to die.  It's supposed to happen.  By you keeping me here you are prolonging my pain.  You're preventing my loved ones from finding relief in a new life where they are no longer burdened by my depression and suicide attempts.  Taking it upon yourself to stop everyone from committing suicide is incredibly myopic and presumptuous, and fails to take into account the needs of the individual and the uniqueness of each person.  I can't support your narrow minded view, no matter how well intentioned you may think you are.


Well... your donations to us are tax deductible.


So you're okay with the certainty of taxes?
