Suicide is not an option

Another man jumped off a building. It is a common sight to see reports on the newspaper about people committing suicide not just by jumping off high structures, but also drinking bleach, hanging themselves on ceilings, suffocating to death by smoke in closed room and driving off a cliff. Why do they do such things? Normally, they commit suicide because they are pressurized by the environment in many aspects such as in studies, at work, at home, from relationships and friends. To them, life is meaningless and the easiest and quickest way to end their sufferings is to end their life. Before making any hasty decision, we should think it through first. Is it worth it to end our life here and now and not continue to move on?

First of all, we should know the fact that suicide is final. Once you done it, there is no changing of mind. You cannot regret and beg for another chance because you are long dead! If you doubt your decision for even a second, please continue to stay alive. Secondly, you are going to kill yourself sooner or later, why not wait? Even if you wait just one day, you might find a reason to live. Thirdly, we should be masters of our feelings, do not let our feelings control us. Fourthly, if you commit suicide to escape pain and seek relief, then you are in the wrong track. You cannot feel relief or anything else because you are dead. That is why you must stay alive to feel the relief you seek.

Fifthly, you commit suicide when you feel hopeless and alone, what about your family, friends and love ones, those who care about you and are willing to listen to you? You are not alone. Sixthly, if you commit suicide, you may have end your sufferings but you are leaving the suffering to others. Think of your parents who have strived so hard to raise you up and this is how you repay them? You will definitely break their heart. Consider this, they may even commit suicide if they cannot handle the truth. Seventhly, you never know what your future holds, but if you end your life, you have no future at all. So, why not live on to carve the future you wish. Eighthly, you should live on to find more reasons not to kill yourself.

This world is still beautiful if you see it from a different perspective. Be optimistic. If you feel burdened, He will help carry the burden for you. If you are in pain, He is beside you to share the pain. However, if you kill yourself, you are killing Him. So live on as life can get better!
