“Death cancels everything but the truth”

 

I’ve never known someone to take their own life, much less someone who actually has a bright future, until today.  Everyone is living a difficult life, some may tend to exaggerate their situation, claiming that theirs is more difficult.  Other people smile often and looked fresh and young that you wouldn’t dare to think that they have troubles inside.  But I believe that whatever situation we are in, whatever trials we encounter, it shouldn’t be compared to others because that specific ordeal is what God deemed you capable of handling.  However, is it possible that God can sometimes give too much?  Is it possible that He overestimated a person’s capabilities to drive that person to commit such an act? Or maybe it is just that people simply give-up.

 

What is a valid reason to take one’s life?

 

None.

 

Millions of people all around the world are trying to survive.  People go to work everyday in order to produce food for their stomachs.  Students labor in school in order to produce a future for their lives.  People in Africa die from starvation and they are lucky enough to eat one bread for a week.  Dying cancer victims would go to every means to see tomorrow’s sunlight.  Parents would give everything for their children’s health and future, even their own life.

 

Now, aren’t those thoughts clear enough that the value of life is important? I don’t know how to feel towards him.  Should I feel angry, concerned, understanding or ignorant?  As a matter of fact, the only feeling I feel is sadness.  I am sad for him, for his family, for his friends.  I remember an old saying, suicide is the most selfish act that a person can commit.  It doesn’t matter anyhow.  It’s just that life itself is a very important gift,;take it away, why?
