Dear friends, Suicide, whether a fashion or not is definetely a way of the cowards.
I remember once a patient(around16 year old boy) i came across in mangalore It was the case mof tablet consumption. He had swallowed around 50 tablets(He did not know the names of those tablets) After the initial first aid, and a good stomach wash when he finally began improving, I took it u[pon my self to rehabilitate him back to health-health, physical, emotional and spiritual. One day after much prayer, when i approached this person and listened to the story of his broken heart(which was indeed broken by a girl), I asked him to plac his trust and faith in Jesus, because Jesus has said in the bible"....... Well before i could continue, he , just in one breadth, told me various verses from the bible(along with chapter and verse number) where it speaks about the infinite love of God. And finally he added, "whats the use of all those words sister, they are good for preaching, but they dont solve our problems" (I learnt later that he was a guitarist in one of the reputed retreat centres and of course had spent his life hearing the word of God) Here, was indeed a young teenager who knew the bible word to word byheart but perhaps those soothing words of the bible, had only reached his mind and never his heart. Well, psycologists and psychiatrists may adequately provide the explanation that suicide is a result of decreased dopamine in the brain which leads to increased depression. But, the only cause of suicide, that i have ever known is " suicide is a result of decreased jesus in the heart which eventually leads to inferiorituy complexes, depressions and lack of ability to cope. The best 2 examples for this in the Bible are the story of Peter and of Judas Ischariot. The one with Jesus in his heart (PETER) after having betrayed Jesus, seeked his forgiveness and became the rock on which the entire church was built; but the one without Jesus(Judas) in his heart commited suicide by hanging himself , overcome with shame and guilt, after having betrayed Jesus. love, anita, kuwait.
