Life is not always a bed of roses for anyone. While at times, you feel the soft touch of petals, there are many times when you may stumble upon or worse still, feel the prick of a thorn. Those who are frustrated with living may have hundreds of reasons to end their lives. But there are many more reasons why living is really worth it. Are you or someone close to you planning to commit suicide? Then you must read ahead to know why you must never think of committing suicide.

1. You do not know what the future holds for you

Your life has changed for the worse and you seem to be feeling nothing but hopelessness. Nobody wants you and nothing appeals to you. No one can guarantee anyone’s future. Just the way your life transformed for the worse, it could change back into something that you desired, with the help of time, efforts, patience and destiny.

2. You may get no opportunity to repent

When you commit a mistake, you might repent for it later and try to offset problems that it may have created. You have the opportunity to repent for it. Sadly, repentance and indemnity are two impossible things when it comes to suicide. If you happen to be successful at committing suicide, you may not get a chance to repent your actions.

3. There are many people in the world to whom you matter

People who commit suicide are usually selfish and concerned about the troubles they are facing. They indulge in self-pity. They give no fleeting thought to people who care for them and to whom, they matter a lot. Suicide is an act that does not just end your life but does so for many around you.

4. You may set the wrong example for others

Battling with life’s problems and emerging successful is the way to lead life. When you commit suicide, you are not only making a major mistake but also set a wrong example before others. In fact, by your act you may influence others to resort to such a way when they face problems, big or small.

5. Suicide is not the answer

If you think suicide ends it all, you are wrong. It opens a plethora of problems for people around you. Also, myriad factors including loss of love, joblessness and illness are all time bound and do not live for too long. Life is long and what seems huge now will become trivial later.

6. You may have to face more and bigger problems if your suicide doesn’t end in death

It can be observed that not all suicides end in death. There are many ways to end a life and most of the times most of these fail during the process. You may end up losing some part of your body, lose consciousness for many years or be rendered useless. Living in such a state is worse than you can comprehend. You become a burden for yourself and for the rest of your family.

7. There are many others who have suffered and still emerged successful

When the need to commit suicide flashes in your mind, think about the endless list of people who have suffered much more than you have and managed to emerge successful. If there has been a way for them, there could be more than one for you. All that it requires is determination and patience.

8. Suicide is never easy

Think about the pain you will have to endure during the process. If you think you will die easy, you are sorely wrong. Any way adopted to end life is extremely painful, which will make you repent for the choice you made.

A momentary decision bridges the gap between life and death. It is, however, necessary to weigh pros and cons and think rationally before making up your mind to commit suicide.
