But in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself!
When I ask myself ‘Am I scared of
death?’ then a sudden answer comes from my heart is ‘No’! I am sad once again to
read about the news of a suicide lately. An aspiring model from Delhi named
Priyanka Kapoor Chawla have committed suicide due to the harassment by her
husband, who actually fell in love with her before tying nuptial knot and later
harassed her due to dowry. If this is true then shameful!

There still exist many families
who believe in dowry system and can go to any extent to harass daughter-in-laws.
But the point I would like to discuss through my blog is ‘whether suicide is
the right option to quit?’ Personally I believe that committing suicide is one
of the coward tasks that one can perform. Imagine you take birth from the womb
of your mother and then kills your own living mother by killing yourself, just
due to some failure in life. Almighty God sends you on earth to complete the tasks
pending of your previous birth. You get up in the morning and thank him for
another day to complete that task. Suddenly due to some rough phase, you take a
dupatta and hang yourself to a fan. Sounds horrible!
According to the data of 2014, at
least 15 suicides took place every hour in the country during the said year,
which saw over 1.31 lakh people ending their lives, with government data also
noting that Maharashtra saw the highest number of such cases while Chennai
heads the list among cities.

The figures marked in red took my
breath away for a while.
Women are considered as one of
the strongest and powerful creatures on the earth. Without them there is no
life. I agree that the strongest person can become weak at times due to human
nature but instead of confronting the rough phase with chin up, one kills self.
That is unacceptable. The time has come to fight the odds confidently and
celebrate the win, rather than losing and hanging oneself to the fan. Women
have always remained my inspiration but such news makes me feel that what gets
wrong with them? Why don’t they show their belief in Almighty and fight the
battle, either with in-laws or during exams or job.
It’s a personal request to all
the ladies who are reading this write up, to remain positive, confident and
face every rough situation with utmost poise and trust. You are not meant to
lose. You’re not meant to kneel in any situation otherwise I would start
believing that killing yourself is easier and painless than living. Change your
thoughts, change your life!
You are right, without doubt sucide is an act of cowardlinless. We get only one life and it shocks me to see how people just end it for someone so doesn't even care for theirs.
