Tell me what you think about suicide.. have you ever wished it?
Funny thing about suicide, it seems like most people who go through with it, or attempt it, strongly assume that it'll be better once you die. If that isn't stubborn optimism, I don't know what is. It's a bit of a contradiction if you look at it, in my opinion at least.
I mean, what if death is actually even more difficult than life?
Obviously nobody can tell, but I don't really see why it wouldn't be a "from the pan into the fire" situation, really.
One thing I believe in though, nature is all about balance, just look around you, the evidence is plentiful. With this in mind, I usually believe that whatever challenge comes my way is meant for me to go through, in order to learn and improve myself.
I also believe that nothing ever disappears, it only every transforms (it's actually scientific observations, look it up). Therefore, I don't think that living or dying will make a difference with regards to whatever challenge my being needs to go through.
But yeah, sure, I thought about suicide the first time I hit a hard wall. But then you grow up and understand that challenges are part of life and there to help you become a better person during your life and possibly even beyond.
I also believe that if everyone took their own life whenever they hit a hard wall, we either wouldn't be a very advanced species or potentially extinct even.
Besides, there's way too much to experience during life in this realm, why rush into what's next?
