Death: By Choice or By GOD?

Death by Choice?? Isn't that a coward's act? Only those, who do not have the courage to face the future take the easiest way out.

Who are humans, mere mortals, to take away something the GOD has given? It is GOD given. So it is upto the GOD to take it. That's the right thing.

I believed the same - till recently. But, let's look at an alternate thinking.

Men and Women, when born on this earth, are the same. They cry, with all their might, throwing their hands and legs up into the air and they keep crying. The similarity ends there.

Thereafter the experiences which each person goes through, shapes each individual. Someone becomes bold. Some light hearted. Some cruel. Some kind. Some philosophical. Some logical. Some whatever.....

When someone feels that his dreams are shattered and only smoke exists now, When his worst fears becomes true, When he is repetatedly being cheated, When he finds no meaningfulness to his existance, he may take the suicide route. Can we blame that person?

Afterall, GOD has given us the freedom of choice. Right?

Is it a cowardly act? I don't think so. It is the circumstances that force people to execute such choices. Ofcourse, these circumstances are the outcomes of the choices the very same people made a while ago.

The sad fact is that some of them doesn't realise that the choices made by them created these circumstances and end up blaming the circumstances or their inability to find a solution.

So what's the solution?

Hinduism says that the problems you face in life may be a Sanchita Karma - the accumulated bad acts of your past births. Unless you finish off with all your Sanchita Karmas, you will not attain Moksha (Nirvana). Hence it is better to deal with it now rather than postponing to your next birth by choice.

Life never has a closed door. There is always a way before you. It is just that you may have to take a deviation. It may not be obvious for you. You might have to search for it. It may take some time before you figure out your way forward. But, there is always a way forward.

When you are thinking of Death by Choice, it is only one among many doors before you. Afterall, if you do not have anthing to lose, why not try the other choices? If they fail, you can always come back to the trivial choice.
