Sacrcity Causes Suicide

The recent death of Aaron Swartz caused me to think about how scarcity causes suicide. I have often contemplated the perils of scarcity. Scarcity entails a lack of power, a lack of money, which can lead people into a lack of hope due to the hostility of a world based on scarcity.

Here are some of my recent Tweets regarding suicide; the first two Tweets are clearly about money issues, the second two are about power issues.
