Okay, let us consider this article as a prequel to my previous article "It's a way... No way". The quoted article is about Suicide. Suicide has always been the end point (stating the obvious) to a person's life but there is a plethora of things before this thought occurs to a person.

To begin with the series of thoughts, we have the modern era. Generations belonging to the present world are always on the run to achieve something. These achievements maybe out of the person's capabilities and ambitions or purely out of the person's mere peer pressure and competition.

If it is the first thing then there is no problem at all. When a person reaches the place where he wants to be only because of his ambitions and capabilities, then the person has a peace of mind and a strong heart to accept all the difficulties and hardships in his way and to enjoy his destination open heartedly and with a smile on his face and happiness in his heart.

However, when it comes to the second option of peer pressure and competition, that is where everything gets started. A healthy peer pressure and competition is good.With supportive parents and friends, even better. But when it comes to the Anti side of it, everything goes downhill.

The pessimistic side of it is where a person's strong heart, his patience and courage is tested to the limits. Again there are two ways in which negative peer pressure can be dealt with. A person with strong and willing heart would be able to survive any fall in his journey and any rocks on his way. But the person will be able to overcome all of these and still reach his destination safe, sound and successfully. He will basically be in the same state as a person who reaches his destination with his capabilities and ambitions. It would not be the same path but yes both will reach their destinations only in one way... successfully.

But people who are weak hearted and easily get influenced by others have other ways to deal with pressure and stress. Many take wrong ways like drugs, alcohol, smoking but they somehow live their lives. But people who cannot think any of these will go to the ultimate and the most dangerous option, SUICIDE. Suicide is an option for the people who cannot overcome or face their problems and pressures.

So for people who think suicide is an option, it is not. It is a dead end where at the end you will be dead. So make your choices wisely based on your capabilities and strengths. Do not take any step you would regret for the rest of your life or a step for which you would not have a life to regret.

Stay safe... Stay happy... Enjoy!!!

(P. S :Do read my article " It's a way... No way" for the first time sequel to this prequel 😉)
