UICIDE: NOT AN OPTI FOR FAILURE Life is a really long journey. The experience that we gain from it is what we become or tend to become. Throughout our life we perform many tasks. In some we fail and in some we succeed. Everyone desires to be successful. Surely success tastes sweet. But failure is what makes us stronger and better. Failures are a small part of life. If we want we can learn a large amount of things from them. It is simply what we make of it. Failures encourage some people but many get discouraged. Those who get encouraged become the leaders of the society. They overcome disappointment and fight back to achieve great success. But those who are discouraged are left behind in the race. Their disappointment is like a leech which sucks out their talent and their desire to live. They try to commit suicide and leave their families devastated and helpless. Suicide can never be an option for failure. In India specially, several people commit suicide daily. Some do so because of failure, some because of disappointment, some because they are deceived and don’t want to live anymore. They just don't realize that how beautiful this world is and that life never ends. There is always a way out for everyone. It hurts the most when young children and teenagers commit suicide. They are the future of any nation and if we lose them then what are we left with? One just cannot lose hope and become the slave of disappointment. Keeping hope is the best way to get out of this vortex. I once heard a saying in the movie 'Shawshank Redemption' which touched my heart that goes as: "Hope is a good thing. Maybe the best of things. And good things never die."
