Is it a selfish act?

Is it the easy way out?

Is it a personal resolution?

Suicide is an intentional killing of oneself.

For some people, suicide seems to be the easy way out, in some culture like Japan, suicide is an honourable way to die.

But before you drink that poison, put that bullet in your head, jump over a bridge, lie across a railway line, hang yourself on a ceiling fan or a tree,stop to ask yourself, ‘ Is this the easy way out? How will my family cope, how will they feel?’

Just know that, as long as you live in this world you will always encounter trouble, even the rich also cry, there is always a solution to a problem, you just have to search deeper.

Suicide is more than a selfish act, it is wickedness, before you take your life, think of the people you are leaving behind, how hurt they will be.

Someone may say, what if I die in an accident my loved ones will still be hurt and broken, be that as it may, death is inevitable, if it comes there is nothing we can do,but intentionally bringing death on yourself, by taking your own life is selfish and wicked.

Suicide should never be the last option, it should not be a personal resolution, why take the life that you did not create,because you think you can’t stand the pressure anymore, suicide is equal to murder and if you take your life, you become a murderer.

When next you have that suicidal thoughts remember:

(1) Suicide is not just a selfish act, it is a wicked act.

(2) Suicide is not the easy way out, it is the coward way out.

(3) Suicide should never be a personal resolution, you need to stay alive, for your loved ones, you may not think so, but people look up to you and are counting on you.

Think of the pain you will cause your loved ones by jumping off a bridge or pulling the trigger, you are important, you matter, no problem is too deep that can’t be solved you just need to look deeper.

Ways to keep your mind off suicide:

(1) Never be alone,surround yourself with people that truly love you.

(2) keep busy, take up a hobby

(3) Talk to someone who cares, like a family member, your friends, you will be surprised to know they have gone through suicidal experience and pulled through.

(4) seek professional help, seek counseling.

You are not alone,stay strong and stay alive,your loved ones need you.

You matter, you are important to someone.
