the act of committing suicide (but not as the name suggests, harakiri, the actual Japanese ritual of suicide by disembowelment. often used historically by the samurai).
son: why are so many people nowadays doing harakiri?
father: Adrian, G-d only knows why people commit such an irrational act. It's probably because they've reached a point in their existence where they can't find life's meaning even in a religious setting. There's always hope even in the secular setting, by getting a social worker or psychotherapist. You can always pull the roasted chestnuts out of the fire no matter how dire the situation seems to be.
son: so, what do we tell a person about to commit suicide? "don't burn your bridges"? and that they should stop rejecting the help that they deserve?
son: why are so many people nowadays doing harakiri?
father: Adrian: doing harakiri is not a joke; as to why people do such a rash and irrational act, G-d only knows. It's probably because they have reached a point in their existence where they can't even find G-d and his eternal mercy in a religious setting and they don't understand that there's always hope for a recovery in the secular setting no matter how hopeless the situation may seem be. you can always pull the chestnuts out of the fire

son: why are so many people nowadays doing harakiri?

father: Adrian: doing harakiri is not a joke; it means committing suicide. As to why people do such a rash and irrational act, G-d only knows. It's probably because they have reached a point in their existence where they don't know what to do. They can't even find G-d's eternal mercy in a religious setting and they don't understand that there's always hope for a recovery if you are not mentally ill, no matter how hopeless the situation may be. But who cares, because mentally ill people can't make the rational choice to commit suicide.
Commiting suicide in 3 ways at once. First the attempter takes a knife, noose, and gun. They then slit their wrist, hang themselves, and shoot their brains out creating the triple harakiri.
The act of fraping yourself and blaming it on another out of sheer boredom. This allows you to watch as the blamed party is publicly humiliated while you get away with insulting whoever you like.
