Revision history [back]

Committing suicide is definitely a selfish act that people commit when they have forgotten about the God that dwells within their heart. A person's bad karma also plays a role in leading them to a forced death. People who commit suicide don't usually think about the negative affect it will have on their families. I had a great aunt in India that locked herself up in a room and lit herself on fire. By the time my other relatives heard her screaming in pain, it was too late to save her life. Her entire family suffered for this selfish act. I mean, she will have to be reborn in another life, and she will have to face other difficulties later on in that new life. From that point on, I realized that suicide was pointless, because suffering and pain is just a part of life, something that nobody can deny.
