Suicide: An Option for No Option!

    

"Suicide is not the option." Everyone says this. And I agree. It is not the option. Things do get tough in life and it feels as if it is impossible to deal with them. But we just have to think that this is not how it will be in the future and then just let it go.

Sushant Singh Rajput committed "suicide" on 14th June 2020. Well it was indeed shocking. Why would someone that rich,that famous, commit suicide? A lot of people called him a coward,they said that he couldn't even deal with his problems. Well suicide is a big deal,isn't it? If he did it,he must've had a reason. Maybe that was too big, maybe too small. But it was definitely out of our understanding and hence, we have no right to call him a coward for this.

I remember that I thought that if he did have problems regarding his Bollywood career, he should've just left it all. He was pretty rich after all, he could've bought a house in some mountains or something and should've lived there peacefully. But I guess somethings really do eat you up on the inside,huh?

And well, Sushant's girlfriend is now being held responsible for his "suicide". Not a rival, frenemy or a stranger, but the girl he fell in love with. It's ironic how people closest to you could do so much damage to you. Having people you love is a true blessing but these people do hurt us sometimes . Maybe they don't even realise it  but they do. But giving up on life because of these people isn't right either. Future will be better. It has to be. Go away from people who hurt you as soon as you can because life is too precious to give up on because of some inconsiderate and mean people.

Sushant was a self-made man. He started from the bottom and indeed, he reached the top. He had money, fame, talent and perseverance. Then what led him to this? Maybe lack of self-respect? Maybe too many restrictions? Maybe too many ambitions? Maybe not having anyone who understood him? Maybe something else.

Whatever it was, we are no ones to judge him for it. As I have mentioned this before a lot of times, he had everything, at least everything materialistic. So if a person gave up on life after reaching the top, there has to be a reason.

Though I do stand by what I said in the beginning, suicide is not the option but if someone did commit suicide, for them it must've been the only option. Not having anything to look forward to, not being able to express yourself or getting called out for expressing yourself, having no one who listens to you, these are all problems and so are not being able to achieve your goals, having too many expectations, feeling like you are never enough and feeling like a disappointment.

There are many possible reasons why Sushant committed "suicide". And if he didn't, then I do stand by the people who are asking for justice. Nepotism is indeed a huge problem in India. There should be a fight against it. So many people like Sushant would benefit from it. Real talent should always prevail over money and reputation.

In the end, I would like to give my heartfelt condolences to Sushant and every other person who ever committed suicide and to their families. You all tried, but things must've been very tough. I am so sorry for that. Rest in peace.

Edit: Since I am a beginner, I request all of you to kindly give me suggestions so that I can improve myself. And also, I've got a great suggestion already!

So I was told that now 'commit suicide' is not considered the appropriate usage. Psychologists and mental health literature now use 'died by suicide' instead. Reason being that 'commit suicide' is like committing a mistake. Hence, 'died by suicide'.
