In this study, an issue was raised that existing interpretation and assessment on suicide has been approached by apprehending causa efficiens as a cause, and a suggestion was made that a discussion that suicide problems also should be approached in a way of discussion on causality with a method of "having made each mutually responsible" other than uniformed interpretation and assessment, because, 4 kinds of cause 1>material cause, 2>formal cause, 3>final cause and 4>efficient cause that Aristoteles raised based on Heidegger's discussion can be distinguished, but each being gathered into one total, that is, constitutes causality. The implication that this study raises through such way of approach reflects responsibility eventually placed jointly on each for the suicide problem. In other words, it is not a thing that belongs to anyone but a problem of attitude toward life that I-you-we are jointly indebted to other than the cause to be returned only to society. Therefore, it is necessary to live realizing that rapidly increasing suicide problem is eventually the joint responsibility placed on all of us and bearing responsible life rather than approaching to problem of suicide with repetition of condemnation like the assessment and disposition by church on suicide that has been repeatedly carried out within existing history. In addition, church is requested for an obligation to go through maintaining "life to be lead as steward of life" along with God by joining his fatigue duty for saving, maintaining and preserving life together with christians.
