Reasons You Should Not Contemplate Committing Suicide

To most people, life is tough. To others, problems are not stumbling blocks.

It is all about our mindset and attitude to the situations we are faced with daily.

I agree, life could be tough. But, it should not be an excuse for people to either attempt to commit suicide, or actually take their lives.

Suicide should not be the option for escaping from the endless problems we are faced with everyday.

Truth is that some of these problems were created by us either in our past or present life.

We attract these problems in order to grow in knowledge, understanding, wisdom and experience.

But, before the growth, each of us must accept the responsibility for whatever problem we are having and then work real hard to solve the problem.

In recent times in Lagos, Nigeria, a couple of persons have attempted to jump into the lagoon, but were rescued by the police. Suicide is a global issue and therefore not limited to Nigeria alone.

A medical doctor actually jumped in the Lagos lagoon through the third mainland bridge and his corpse was found floating at the lagoon few days after. I wrote this in my earlier article in ezines.

There is life after dead. Whether you agree with me or not, God created and sent us to this earth plane for a mission.

The mission is to perfect ourselves in order to ultimately return to become like God. Yes, every man, woman, boy or girl you see is a God in the making.

But, our world is a school, where we must come and go, interact and attract people, situations, circumstances, etc, in accordance with our karmic records.

Yes, it is possible people who commit suicide earned it by their past actions and inactions. But, suicide is contemplative.

In developing and developed countries, people do not like to disclose fully their health status for fear of being stigmatized.

Poverty, depression, stress, lost of loved ones, financial pressure, lost of job, frustrations and inability to accept the responsibilities of our lives may be some of the contributory factors to suicide.

But, these factors are transient and could pass away with time.

A jobless person today could work hard and secure a good job tomorrow.

When a person commits suicide, he or she has not escaped from problems. The person will experience deeper sorrows, regrets, pains and frustrations immediately after the act at the other side of life.

The person has simply postponed the working out of the karmic debit he or she attracted in his or her past or present life.

He will be born in a family, community, state, nation where he will have to face the consequences of his or her suicide act in the last reincarnation.

The immutable laws of life cannot be set aside, manipulated, postponed, bribed or ridiculed.

Those who commit suicide for whatever reason are either paying for their past deeds or created a future condition they will not escape in their next life.
