 Today I''ve heard sad news about a young lad who for some unknown reason jumped from the 13th floor of his building. I suspect it was a suicide, but no one admits it to be the case. It saddened me to hear about it, and I was left in shock after being told that his mother tried to stop his fall by grabbing him from his shirt but she ended up with a piece of it in her grip. I couldn''t stop thinking about this event all day long, and a cold sad feeling filled all of me. It was as if my hear suddenly shrunk and could not support my body, as if my blood froze in my veins. Why would anyone want to end their lives? Why end something so beautiful and so precious? I cannot and will not condemn this person''s action, I don''t know how he felt and what pushed him to do what he did. But I know, that I too have my moments of weakness, when I can no longer comprehend life, when I see darkness even in bright light... today I had such a moment... just a moment that could have ended it all...
I was hungry, depressed, angry, sad and just had the wrong combination of bad feelings all together mixed and shaping my mood. All I needed was a little push and I would explode to a thousand pieces, and who can better give me this push than the closest people to me. It was one very stupid and hurting comment, and I went ballistic. But like always, those who know you best will do everything to make you more angry, so instead of shutting the hell up they decide they are going to stab me more...
I ended up roaming the streets like a mad man, talking to myself, cursing myself, the world and anything that passes by... God was it dark... thinking about it now, I can barely remember where I walked, and blurry memories of people whom I know and greeted but were ignored. I remember that after a long walk I my anger vanished, but I was lift with bitter sadness and frustration. It wasn''t easy for me to draw some good memories, it seems as if all i could remember are bad events, times when others hurt me, times when I could see the empty half of life... moments like the one I was in at the time.
At this specific darkest moment, a ghostly image of my death passed in my mind. Death seemed a nice solution to all of my problems. The disturbing thought of death became a comforting one, and a achieving this peaceful state became easier than ever before.
I am still depressed and in a bad mood, I would never take my own life – let that who gave it to me take it when He wishes. But at the moment I honestly understand, but cannot accept, why some peopel take their own lives.
God have mercy, God have mercy, God have mercy.
May the Love of God be with you all, |
