NEVER READ THIS POST IF U HAVE AN IDEA OF COMMITTING SUICIDE

There are a lot of things in this world which makes our lives more enjoyable and interesting. Then y do people commit suicide.
Nowadays the most important reason for suicide is love failure. There was one good friend of mine who committed suicide because of love failure. You know, when I went to his home a year after his death, his parents saw me and cried as if he died last day.
Please try to understand we are not here for only one person. There are so many persons who are dependent on us directly or indirectly.
If suicide is the answer for love failure then I have to commit suicide for more than a thousand times. When Trisha is not for you then please have in mind that Divya is always waiting for u next door. (Vadivelu solra madiri ‘Trisha illaena Divya’…avlodan valka). So simple.
A few weeks back when the tenth standard results were released. I read in Hindu that more than 5 students committed suicide as they did not secure good marks in their examination. Is there anything like we can’t survive in this world if we don’t get good marks? This is not the mistake of the students; it’s actually because of the people around them especially their parents and teachers who told them that Education is the most important.
If Sachin Tendulkar has thought in the same way, then we would have never seen a Master Blaster in him. Everybody has their own talents, the thing is - it is hidden and we have to do whatever has to be done to bring it out.
People have also found that depression is another main cause for suicide.
In this world, no one can show a person who is completely happy. Everybody has their own problems. There r only 2 ways to tackle our problems.
• Either v have to find a way to overcome our problems
• Else v have to learn how to be happy in spite of our problems.
There is a famous saying which goes like this
“An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered and an inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered”
Whenever we feel like committing suicide v have to think for a while.
• Whether our problems are going to get solved as a result of this?
• Will our parents be happy after our death?
Just think of your surroundings. Can your friends and parents be happy without u? Even your friends may forget u after some point of time but what about your parents, they will cry cry cry until they die.
So please friends, educate your surroundings that there is nothing in this world that is as important as life and create awareness. Make them understand that we have so many responsibilities and there are many things we have to learn and understand for a good living.
