Suicide isn’t a Solution

Teenagers of the modern age are very much falling in the category of suicides due to lack of tolerance. They think that every solution to their problems lies in the fact of running away from problems instead of solving them out. If one is committing an unethical activity and caught red handed, the very first thought comes of freedom is death. Why this is happening to our generation, especially in the Asian countries? Answer is quite debatable but we don't need lectures. Everyone has a sense of responsibility in them. Think of your parents, family, and siblings. Allah has granted us a life to fight back and to over-come every problem. By committing suicide we only think of our own freedom, we become so selfish that we want to gain peace by killing our own selves, without thinking about the after affects of this act. Our family is going to suffer. For your mistake they are going to face the scenario. We have to develop a strong will power to never say never to any situation as Allah always gives the load according to the capability of the person. Make your weaknesses your options. We have to take on no matter what challenge life is supposed to throw at us. Harsh realities are a part of life still we have to cope up, to fight back with the life and to show life that winners never quit. Doing mistakes is not a bad thing it's just another way of looking at problems. But don't give up. Everyone has to continue even when it hurts deeply. See the lightning there is always a silver lining. If you can't see the brighter side of any aspect just start polishing the darker side as nothing is impossible even the statement says I m possible.

.:: How to Make Your Weaknesses; Your Options ::.

Once there was a family going in a car. They had their one toddler boy at the back seat. Suddenly the car met with an accident. Somehow the father and mother survived but their child got seriously injured. They took the boy to hospital and he got operated. When the doctor came out of the operation theatre and said to the family that there child is out of danger but he has lost his left arm forever. Years passed and the little toddler became a teenager. One day while he was watching TV he came across the martial arts channel. He got to his father and said Dad I want to learn Kung fu. Dad while looking at his disabled son said, “It is hard to learn for people with both hands and you have got only one. This is not possible”. But the boy kept on insisting and finally his dad took him to one of the best martial arts school in the city. When they reached the Sensei (Master), Sensei looked at the boy and his ambition to learn kung fu. He admitted the boy on one condition that he will not ask questions at any level. They agreed and Sensei started training the boy. The boy was told only one movement for his right hand to move back and forth with a punch. Months passed, many other students came after the boy and started to learn different moves but he was doing the same move again and again. So he went to the Sensei and asked why he is lacking behind every other student. Sensei re-plied, “No questions! I told you in the beginning”. Then the world championship came. In the first round the boy was standing in the arena with his opponent staring at him with both of his hands in full power. Opponent rushed for the boy and the boy moved and punched him once and the opponent went down. Surprisingly the boy was shocked. And then the final round came up. This time the opponent kicked him so bad in the ribs and his face was bleeding furiously. The boy fell down and looked in to the eyes of his Master who was standing by the side of the ring. He read the eyes of Sensei saying you have the ability of doing it get up and punch your opponent again. The boy got up and punched his opponent in the face and finally a loud cry went across the arena. The disabled boy with one hand be-came the world champion. His parents appraised him a lot and wanted him to come home. The boy replied, “No, to-day I have to go to my master and he has to answer my questions”. He reached Sensei and asked how it was possible that only with one hand he could beat every opponent, without using much moves. Sensei smiled and replied, “For all the things I have told you in martial arts, the one thing I have never told you was that for every move in kung fu there is a counter move also. And the moves which I have told you, to counter them you should have a left hand which you never had.” The boy cried and hugged Sensei.

Moral is quite simple: we just have to change our views on looking things in a better way as our eyes are the most sparkling parts of the body. Everything happens for a reason and Allah does not create garbage, it is the humans who do.
