We are born to learn, and to extinguish the flame of life prematurely is to reach the state of mind where the world no longer feels safe to exist within. Those reach the state of this are generally those with a mental health issue, which requires addressing.

No person has the right to claim to now when it the time to cease a life. That would be almost like taking GOD s decision into your own hands. I have, in my life saved many people from committing the act of suicide.

It is not only a very disturbing position to find yourself in, but carries a very heavy price to pay.

The fear, anguish, and horror of losing someone, when in this state tend to leave one imbued with a sense of guilt. When faced with the situation again it can be mind wrenching, and painful.

By guilt, I am referring to the blame you carry if you did not succeed in saving the victims life.

Those who contemplate suicide are reaching this most devastating mind state, it is generally found to be at the point where the feeling of lost, becomes a veil of black.

Sheer exhaustion, both emotionally and physically may be overwhelming; the person may find sifting through realms of confusing thoughts, a place in the mind where processing matter has suddenly stopped.

Suicide is never a right, only an act of fear. Contemplation of suicide is the act of losing one’s way.

Suicide is not accidental death; it is a silent cry for help; time for others to step in and give guidance.

It is when the soul is caught in a place where it becomes lost and does not understand, believing others do not understand either.

The people involved and surrounding the one attempting suicide are the ones that suffer the most, this is a well-known fact to all who have experienced anyone close to them attempting this.

Even those in the situation, which involves illnesses, which prolong the life in pain, do not have the right to commit suicide.

Patients in this state can be helped with the natural exit from life through painkillers and the like. Life is too precious for anyone to believe otherwise.

Life is too precious for anyone to believe otherwise. Help is no more than a call away from those seeking it. Reach out for help, for tomorrow the sun will shine a light again and brightens a new day.

Whether you believe in the bible or not, the truth in the saying SEEKS and you shall find and ASK and you shall RECEIVE are two of the most powerful statements know to man.
