Is Suicide The Best Option? by Howinspiratic(m): 10:29pm On May 06, 2016
Failures, disappointments, heartbreaks,
diseases and problems plaguing the
world today has made suicide an
option only to the depressed mind.
These triggers keeps creeping into our
lives every now and then, even when
you don’t expect them.

I recently came across a post on a
public forum where the poster, a young
man in his early twenties was seeking
for an easy and painless way to die. It
will be heartbreaking and a huge lost if
he succeed in accomplishing that
atrocious act. Do you know why?
Because that young man has the
destinies of individuals in his palms.
Persons he was meant to help in
discovering their path in life. If he’s to
terminated his, then he has terminated
those destinies connected to him unless
God provides a substitute.

We all have had our share of bitterness,
hurt and pain. We have in one time in
our life lose something so dear and
precious. We have made mistakes.
Mistakes that is likely to haunt us till
grave. But taking our life is never
among the option.

Death is merely a transition to another
realm of existence. A realm your mortal
eyes haven’t beheld nor your nostrils
perceived. A realm where your stand is
unsure and uncertain. Taking your life
is like jumping intentionally from a
frying pan to fire. That’s a mistake you
must never make.

Whatever might be the trigger of such
negative thought should be fought. You
are not a coward, so don’t act like one.
Face your plight with boldness
expecting a light at the end of the
tunnel. To reach the top of the
mountain, you have to use obstacles.
These obstacles aren’t there to stop you
but to act as stepping stones.

Last two years, i was battling with
suicidal thought after taking jamb for
three consecutive times without
admission into college. I was tired and
downcast. My mates are already
undergraduates whereas am still
struggling for admission. The
expectations from every angle were
consuming and even added to my
burden. I wanted to give up. I wanted
to yield cause I felt defected. Despite
that, the fire within got rekindled when
my uncle gave me the book “Life is
unfair but God is good” by Robert
Schuller. From that moment, I
discovered a reason to live. To keep
pressing forward despite all odds. Now,
looking back, am really glad I never
gave in to quit or suicide.

The future holds a lot of goodies,
happiness, awesome surprises and also,
new challenges and answers. You can
never find out if you quit now. You
won’t find that green pasture if you
remain in that pit. You might have
made mistakes, we all have that we
wished we can turn back the hand of
clock and undo the errors. Don’t allow
your mistakes bring you down. If I had
terminated my life long ago, I won’t
have met these fabulous friends in
school, I won’t have started this blog
with wonderful readers like you.
There’s indeed a lot of things that
would have remained undiscovered.
Without ups and downs, you will never
reach your destination in life. You will
even end up meeting the wrong people,
going the wrong places and worst,
dwelling in unfulfillment.

What if you aren’t feeling suicidal?
Then you can help someone with such
thoughts, but how? There are warning
signs that someone close to you might
be thinking of taking his or her life.
They include:

• Withdrawal From family and friends

• A change in eating and sleeping
pattern

• Giving away prized possessions

• A loss of interest in activities that
were once pleasurable

• A marked change in personality
• Drug or alcohol abuse

• Taking about death or being
preoccupied with subjects related to it.

If you are able to save a life or that of
someone battling with suicide. Believe
me, you are a saviour.

Now ask yourself again; is suicide the
only option?
