Yesterday I heard of a tragic news.
A distance acquaintance’s brother committed suicide today; he was barely 19 years old. The surprising thing when I heard of this news was that instead of wondering why people would do such things, I sort of felt that it was things that sometimes people do.
I felt that I somehow could comprehend why this was happening and why people would reach this stage in life to make such decision.
Although I might not know what really was happening in his life for him to end it so abruptly, leaving all the loved ones to grieve over his death and deal with his issues, if any.
I remembered when I was young, suicide did occur to me although it was more to frustration and lack of appreciation and meaning of life (or thinking that I might get the attention that I wanted although it wouldn’t serve much purpose if I am just not breathing..). I don’t know but I always foolishly thought that if I am going to die, I might as well as use up all my money first. At one point I have over eighty bucks which I felt that it was too much to leave it un-spend and die. =.=” (irony, come to think of it now..)
Anyway, the thing is I felt that I started to understand is why people are in certain state of mind or would do things that once I couldn’t understand at all. (It doesn’t mean that I have less sympathy over it but just that I could more readily accept it and in less shock than I once would..)
Have I started to see the reality of life more clearly? Or has the protective, beautiful bubbles in my life burst, leaving me to the stark reality of life?
Well, I guess it’s time to put down my rose tinted glasses and face the life’s true colours..

some ppl just lost their life out of sudden, some just want to take away their own life.. haizh .. Human really so hard to understand lor..
So young and committed suicide? What a waste! There are people with terminal disease fighting hard to survive, yet some people just see it fit to end their lives.
I guess I’ll never really understand it. But people who commit suicide usually lost all hope, but if only they knew suicide is not the end of their problems.
Death only causes more pain and problems to the people you loved. That’s what I think. But people who seek the easy way of life by suicide, never really get the chance to see the true beauty side of life! Always think of good parts instead of looking more on the bad parts~
stress management is important…but not many can do it well. ppl said man not easy to cry, so tend to suicide; women tend to cry, so not easy to suicide.
Well it is really the circumstances make people like that. It is the way they grown and exploring their life. It’s really sad to hear the suicides all over the world.
