Suicide Is Not a Personal Right!

Someone once said that suicide" is a permanent solution to a temporary problem." This statement is especially true when associated with emotional problems. There is always a reason why people are meant to suffer undue hardships and challenges. They are usually intended to be a type of learning experience or an awakening of one sense. It is certainly not intended for them to take the easy way out and kill themselves. Difficult things happen to all of us because it is a part of living. Whether we lose someone who we love, or maybe things that are happening to us seem to be more than we can bear. Life can be hard and cruel at times. We are expected to be strong and make it through whatever comes. It is said that “God will not give us any more than we can bear."

We have been put on this earth for a reason! We may not be destined to do great things; but we are destined to make our mark. In times of stress, we should draw closer to our family and friends for support. They are the people who can give us the added strength and emotional support that we need to weather the storm. Sometimes we need to talk to someone who has an impartial view and can be more objective. It is important to find a person who can aid us while helping us to see that we are not alone. We can then begin to understand that we are no different than anyone else, and that we do have the strength to get through this. Everyone has problems; some big, some small, some fixable and some not. It is the way in which we handle our problems that will really matter. Some problems may seem to be overwhelming, and we need to ask ourselves, "What can I do to fix or change this"? When we ask, "why," we will usually come up with more questions than answers? "What" is a word that can surprise us, because in most cases, we will find the answer to our question. We need to fix the things we can and learn to accept the things that cannot be fixed!

Life is very precious! When we commit suicide, we are thinking only about ourselves and the pain that we are feeling. We need to stop and think about how we feel when someone we love dies or is killed. Think about the devastation and pain that we will cause for the people who love us. Yes, someone out there loves us! Sometimes it may not always seem like it, and usually it is because at this particular moment, we do not love ourselves.

We have to love and respect ourselves if we expect others to love and respect us too. Life is not
