Suicides isn’t a coward thing


We all had come across many suicide cases in our life. Recently our nation had lost one of the youngest talented Singh Rajput. The most common comment about suicides is “suicide is meant for coward”. Today I wanted to share my views and thoughts about suicides. First of all, suicide isn’t meant for coward. Just because they killed themselves, we can’t call them as cowards or jump into a conclusion that they aren’t strong enough to face life. We have no idea about the heights of mountains they had climbed or the depth of oceans they swam. Life isn’t same for all. It’s easy to judge but difficult to stand in their shoes and experience all the pain they gone through. I agree they aren’t strong enough to fight against all the obstacles in their life but coward isn’t a word to describe them. Instead we can say, they have a sensitive heart which couldn’t take too much of cruelty and figured out that heaven is a right place for their pure soul. I am not in the support of committing suicide. I value life which was gifted to us billion years ago. But we can’t discriminate people who committed suicides. I respect their decisions. They chose to die with pride and dignity. We can’t judge the whole book by reading its epilogue. I find it really funny when people say committing suicide is a coward thing to do. We all are afraid to die and we are calling someone who is killing himself as coward. Imagine how hard is to cut themselves knowing that it will be painful and leads to death. Imagine the pain they gone through which lead them to a thinking that killing is less painful than surviving. I am one of those people who don’t even use the knife if it is bought recently as it will be too sharp. Moreover they didn’t opt to kill themselves since they are bored; we humans are the ones who pushed them into the path of committing suicide. If they were someone who could support and catch them before falling into depression, they could have remained alive today. “Suicide isn’t cowardly. I’ll tell you what is cowardly; treating people so badly that they want to end their lives” said by Ashley Purdy, a popular American actress. I could like to end this by saying, “be a change in someone’s life rather than judging someone’s life”.
