Final Thoughts from a Man Called Polycarp Introduction It has been said, “Our greatest trials can become our greatest triumphs.” That’s easy to say but living with hope is not easy. For 800,000 this last year, it was a tragedy not hope that triumphed. These 800,000 individuals from around the world committed suicide. That means, according to the World Health Organization, that every 40 seconds someone chose not to live. To try to break that trend, every September 10 has been designated as World Suicide Prevention Day. Iro
