This is soo disheartening..a girl so talented (not that if she was less talented I would care less) to pass out of IIT- Kanpur, work in Infosys, and get into IIM - killed herself for being dumped (whether on FB or G+ is not important) it kinda shows us that though technology has developed so much, we are not ready to cope with its repercussions, nor have we built a dynamic social support system to check this- but then again suicide is more of a personal decision - a choice, so I guess I can't get away with blaming the society.. Sociologist Emile Durkiem the author of Le Suicide- THE SUICIDE infers that the more connected people are to each other through the institution of religion the less likely they actually go through with suicide - I do not agree with all the inferences given in his book but again it is note worthy point. My inference is - its not the religion that prevents suicide but the fellowship of individuals which give us the assurance that we are not alone, there has been worse, and yes this too shall pass. It is not religious ties which has the power to prevent suicide, religion is just a road to reach GOD!
Personally I detest those who commit suicide because I believe it is the most selfish act a person does- almost the height of narcissism( self -love). When a person decides to take one's life out he/she think solely about themselves, while completely disregarding the devastating effect their suicide can cause to their family, their friends and the Gift of Life.. It is almost as if you are making a mockery of your Creator, your loved ones and Life when you contemplate suicide. You din't create your self into what you are now from a single celled Chimera you were - So no you DO NOT have the liberty to take your life out. Our creator shed his blood, sweat and tears to make you into what you are (flaws included) so do not disregard that and for once try to live for other than for yourself.
If you ever feel life is rubbing you to dust and you feel life giving up think of two things.
I. Think of the single most painful thing you have witnessed - For me it was the memory of an old homeless women, her eyes filled with tears and her face in pain, she used to sit near the suburban train subway, she never used to accept alms, or food from anyone, it was almost impossible to help her - whenever I think of her it moves me and whatever little trouble I have that has been putting me down seems smaller and more solvable than before..
II. Think of the most beautiful thing for me again it was the smile of child whom I met years ago, he was diagnosed with AIDS at 2 , yet he is living every moment or should I say loving every moment I cannot shake his smile of my head ~ it makes me well up and realize there is so much to life than good grades, an envious body, a great pay package or a failed love life! There is LIFE waiting to be lived, loved and shared with all.
