Just this week, an article in the newspaper talked about the tragic and sad death of a 19 year old university student who went missing for two days and was found near his home strangled with a rope. Suicide is a taboo in our society but, sadly, it is every time more frequent. As I read this article I think about the family, the extreme pain they should be feeling, friends, loved ones…The impact that this boy’s death had on his classmates could be easily seen. I think about all the life that was ahead of this boy, all the joy that he will never get to experience.
This is something that I think we’ll never understand. I think that neither the people that have thought of taking away their own lives understand this. Is it psychological? Physiological? How can a person have the courage to kill him/herself? It is very hard to understand, if not impossible. The only thing that I can say is that it one of the saddest things in life. A desperate person thinks that taking away his or her life the problems are going to go away too, but they are not thinking about what’s next. Neither are thinking about the people that they left here, their family, friends, etc that will suffer the consequences. God gave us life and is the only one who should “take it away from us”. Everything has a purpose and an exit; ill prefer to find it here.We should try to help those people that are worse than us, that need someon to count with. We can change someone’s life and stop them from doing something crazy!
