Last nite newspaper reported a case of family suicide, whereby a family of 4 all were found dead. The father committed suicide by jumping off the flat which lead to discover his remaining family members lying dead in the room. Shall not describe further on the details on how they died.
The main reason I am writing about this is that I wanna focus on talking how precious life is. At the expense of one person who might becoz of some reason, ie: own debt due to stock exchange, gamble bet..., caused the whole family to die together is an irresponsible act. Being inidividual, if we have the ability to live the way how we want, how could you take away the rights of others. Especially with the innocent children, they don't even have the chance to grow up and make for their own decision. If it happens that the life is lost due to accident, it is more smoothing to hear than to ask a whole family to go on a never turn back road.
I always believed that no matter what kind of problem faced there will be a solution to it. Be it that the solution is very minimal to help out, but at least it is not a desperate way out to seek death. Death can may seems a quick and swift way to end matters, but please consider really is this the best option? What about those that you left behind? Would you burden your wife, parent or family members with unforgetable sad departure memories or even unpaid debts? Think about it, death by suicide is not an answerable solution.
In buddhism, suicide is seen as morally wrong and will result in negative karma consequences!
Anyway, coming back to the point, my objective here is to let you know that life is precious!
ps: i also mean other forms of life hor... :P
almost all of us wont stop at ways that will make us rich and have a better life.....but simple living and a simple life can bring so much joy, looking around us, everyone work so hard, we have forgotten the simplest form of happiness.....
i may not be rich and afford all the luxuries, but i'm happy in my own world...that i should be content enough
you're right. sometimes, people become such cowards that they have to end their lifes. believing to end it all, its another level of comfort. contentment is something so hard to achieve.
