Killing yourself doesn’t end but passes the pain.

(Answer may make either you cry or give you a direction)

Imagine you came back home from your boring job, you hate your job, your girlfriend ditched you and you feel worthless and you feel you have just one option.

On the way to your home you buy a blade and a packet of rat poison. As you reach home you loosen your tie lay down on your bed, hold the blade in your hands so tight that blood starts seeping out from your hand and in the next moment you see yourself gulping an entire bottle of rat poison down your throat. Your mom, in the kitchen tells your little sister to call you for dinner and as soon as she enters your room, she sees her hero bleeding and choking to death. She shouts and calls your mom and your mom fall down on her knees and breaks down, your dad rushes from his office, jumping red lights, driving at maximum speed just so that he don’t miss even a second.

Days later, your sister goes to school but her eyes are red and swollen, she hasn’t eaten for days. She doesn’t study nor paint as she liked to. She doesn’t talk to anyone , her hair are messy and she is being scolded and made fun of. Your mom hasn’t even touched water since that day, she can't do her job, vomits, crying and shouting takes up most of her days. Your dad hasn’t spoken a single word for days, he can't go to his job, he hasn't taken bath for ages. He is silent. Your home is a mess. It hasn’t seen a smile since a long time, and there is no trace of any food. Your friends spend most of the days crying and remembering you. They are failing in their colleges and the ones who would couldn’t sit quite even for a second are numb for days now. Sleep has become a foreign concept to all of them.

Now re read the first paragraph, and then-

On the way to your home you buy a chocolate for your sister, a hair pin for your mom and a ball pen for your dad. Your reach your home , loosen your tie, lay down on your bed, think about how you can get over this phase. Your mom, in the kitchen tells your little sister to call you for dinner and as soon as she enters your room you hug her tighltly and go for dinner. You eat dinner with your family, cracking jokes, watching TV. You call your friends for a night stay because you’re feeling low. They come over, make fun of each other, crack jokes, play games, watch movie and guess what? everyone in the house including you sleep with a smile on their face.

Don’t mistake this answer to be a clichéd ‘suicide is not an option’ answer. People need to understand the consequences when they choose this. Everything from degrees, money, package, health, girlfriend, clothes to food are useless and worthless if you try to end it. You read the two situations, you know what you want to choose. No matter how much we disagree, at some or other point of life we have thought of killing ourselves even if for a second. We shouldn’t. Not for ourselves but for those who make our life worth living. No matter how much sad you are, there is always a hidden happiness that you’ve to search. “Happiness can be found in the darkest of all times, only if one remembers to turn on the light”
