The problem of suicide

Death… no one can deny that this word fills people with spiritual fear and fright. It can bring us to an undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns. What is behind life, physical life? There is only one answer – death! But what is death? Is it merely the end of the body, or of the whole human being, our soul and our thoughts? Undoubtedly, it is very hard to believe that you will dissolve in the darkness of eternity; that your unique personality will disappear from the crowd, that everything will remain without you; that all your achievements won’t be useful to you. However, one should not forget that all your troubles will also be over and will bother you no longer.

Sometimes this is the main aim of a great number of people, who prefer to die, to get rid of the problems they are surrounded by and to give up their hard life. Yes, and they don’t think about any future new life or whatever will happen. Their target is simply to cope with attacks of fate. Nevertheless, I find it important to say that one should not be selfish: because people, remaining in this world and facing the same problems, surround this person. Because there are people who really care about you who’ll be hurt by your death. If one doesn’t want to understand the value of his or her life, then he/she should try to think about others. I dare say that it is very hard to face one’s destiny and try to confront it. Life is not a simple thing; it is full of the good and horrible, kind and mean, great and little, which stand shoulder to shoulder and come one by one. “Restful death…” it may be restful, if you give up and cease striving. I’m of the opinion that people must fight against their hardships and troubles in order to protect themselves and their children, relatives and friends. If all people “oped” with hardships this way, the future of mankind would be dim.

So, in conclusion I would like to say that one should face death only after having done everything he could for himself or his family, for his friends, for his country and for the world. Even if one disappears and doesn’t survive as spirit or something of that kind (I am not quite sure of the reality), some parts of you and your work must remain for the future generations, as a living memory of your deeds and as the implementation of yourself.
