However long the night, the dawn will break. Life can sometimes take such unforeseen turns that it becomes difficult to take everything in. Depression is an unexplainable phenomenon when everything around seems melancholic and saddening. One second you can be dancing in joy but the next second, the world can seem to fall apart.
However, no matter how tough this feeling is, suicide should never be an option. It’s often said that when one door closes, another opens. But there are times when, everything around seems closed, every path seems barricaded, every desire seems lost. And in times like these, ending life may seem like an easy way out of all the misery, but please remember, all the misery and sadness will surely end one day and you will definitely want to see that bright day.
World Health Organisation (WHO) reports that every year, suicide accounts for more deaths than war and homicide combined, and is the second leading cause of death among those aged 15-29. Globally, 79 per cent of suicides occur in low- and middle-income countries, however high-income countries have the highest rates of suicide. Incidents are three times higher among men than women in wealthier countries, while these rates are more equal in poorer nations.
September 10 is celebrated as World Suicide Prevention Day. It is an awareness day observed in order to provide worldwide commitment and action to prevent suicides, with various activities around the world since 2003.
To bring inspiration and words of wisdom to those who may need it, here are some motivational quotes which will make you realize that the gift of life may seem really heavy sometime, but ending it is not the solution.
