Dear friend
We have all been conditioned right from the beginning for thousands of years that taking a life, your's or another's, is a SIN. i used to have the same debate why is suicide considered a cowardice thing ? when it actually takes a lot of guts to attempt it. isn't it the easy way out to end things which are so complicated that doesn't make sense to anyone even-more to ourselves. i used to argue with myself its another way of death like dying in accident or disease. atleast we go out willingly than those dying in accident or disease, who struggle to live even it's for few days.
Then i got into Spirituality and read more or more. every religion condemns suicide (except for those who blow themselves up, which i believe is totally misinterpreted and brainwashed to those poor souls). and every religion says your soul is eternal. and what do you say when someone is going thru severe hardship in his/her life?-" Poor soul" which means the soul is suffering
So i raised myself another question what if the soul still suffers after we end our lives. ofcourse its a fact that your physical body doesn't suffer any pain but what happens if our soul still suffers? its totally a waste of human life because we thought we could end the suffering. well if its physical pain then atleast the pain goes when we end our lives.
so that convinced me not to take my life on my own. and i have undertaken a pledge to heal my soul. i feel my soul happy when i help others. it doesn't have to be monetary. being kind, helpful, compassionate, caring, loving. nobody can deny the fact that these things heal your soul.
