Sharon Parker, USA, 01 Feb, 2010: […] According to this creditable source, “Junge Union Augsburg Stadtmitte (CDU/CSU)“, “Die statistische Selbstmordrate der EU ist die hoechste weltweit”…”Was sicher schwerer wiegt ist die jaehrliche Zahl von etwa 60.000 Menschen in der EU, die wegen Depressionen, Angststoerungen und aehnlichen Belastungen freiwillig aus dem Leben scheiden.” […]

Psychiatrist, February 22, 1975, Caracas: […] The example he gave was in the Scandinavian countries they’ve practically solved all material problems. They have so many Social Security and this and that, and there are practically no material problems, but they have the highest suicide rate in the world.
Prabhupada: Yes, exactly. So where is the institution, university, for educating people of the spirit soul? Where is it? Therefore the whole civilization is going in the wrong way.
Psychiatrist: He feels there are some people, for example who are teaching the right thing. There are missionaries who go to the Amazon jungles and also to Africa to teach. And he feels they are offering…
Prabhupada: But we find the great cities are great jungles. A great city is a great forest. The modern society is not taking care of the driver; they are taking care of the car. This is the defect. In the material world this problem is always there. Sometimes it is more; sometimes it is less. Material world means ignorance of the driver. That ignorance is sometimes very big, and sometimes it is less, but ignorance is there.
The real problem is that the human being, I am speaking only of human being, not of the animals, because the animals, they do not know what is the problem; neither they can solve it. It is not possible. In the human form of body there is possibility of making a solution of this problem. Therefore in the human society, along with other educational department, there should be an educational department to understand what is soul, what is its nature, how it is working, what is the future, wherefrom it is coming. So many things there are. But there is no education for this prime factor, the driver. There is no education.

Right, this looks like the lineage of Stalin’s “efficient power regime”, where you have huge piles of dead bodies at the end. 60,000 per year, 600,000 after ten years, 1,200,000 after 20 years, and so on and so forth. Huge piles of dead bodies.
Wonder how the EU commissioners can peacefully smoke their cigars unless they are members of the Church of Satan?
