On January 2, YouTuber Logan Paul made the internet erupt when he released a heart-wrenching and incredibly insensitive vlog of him in Japan's “Suicide Forest" (Aokigahara).

In this video, Logan Paul filmed himself going into the heart of the forest that is notorious for grounds on which people take their lives.

While walking through the infamous forest, Logan Paul saw a body in which his first reaction was to call out, “Yo, are you alive? Are you f*cking with us?"

When the person was unresponsive, Logan Paul asked if the cops were called and talked a little bit about the unfortunate events of suicide. However, in his speech, he did not appear to be remorseful or saddened… It looked as if he was just saying words to acknowledge that he knew what he was SUPPOSED to say.

After that video was uploaded, Logan Paul put out an apology to the internet that was typed out in his notes on his phone. He said, "I've never faced criticism like this before because I've never made a mistake like this before. I'm surrounded by good people and believe I make good decisions, but I'm still a human being."

This was not a mistake.

A mistake would be addressing a person by an incorrect name or handing someone the wrong drink. A mistake is not filming a person's lifeless being and taking the time to edit and upload it to the internet for everyone to see. That is insane, insensitive, invasive, and extremely inappropriate behavior.

There is one thing that can be taken from this incident, however. Although I never wish that video upon anyone's viewing, it is an important thing to see a poor reaction from an individual on the realness of a person's struggling. Suicide is never a joke. It's never a thing to be made fun of and certainly not a thing to be broadcast for the whole world to see. Suicide is an intimate and extremely unfortunate and saddening action that is never OK to share publicly.

To the family of the beautiful lost soul that was captured in Logan Paul's video, the deepest of apologies for your loss and the hurt that I have no idea you must be feeling.
