life shouldnt be that hard :(

my brother just came back from the hospital, visiting a friend of his who attempted to commit suicide.

his tale is - he was born in a priviliged family and got everything he wanted. unfortunately the father passed away when he was in his teens and his mother remarried another man. a very very rich man with a title as the fourth wife. he lost his balance when the father died and when he saw how his stepfather abuses the mom, and how the mom has one affair after another with foreign men whom she brought into the house shamelessly in front of her children. he got into deep depression mode and not having a strong person/friend/family to turn to. in his suicide note, his line, he wrote how he hoped Allah s.w.t will forgive him and all that he has done.

my brother came back from the hospital just now with his other friends, and they were sitting around having tea talking to my dad and mom to get their advices, and to my sister, to get proffesional medical opinion. they were very regretful that they did not pay too much attention to their friend. everyone is so busy and everyone has many thing going on in their lives that they forgot they have a friend in need. a friend that could have died aimlessly. he drifted apart futher and further and they let him be, when they should have known better. they knew he needed help, they didnt think it would get that bad, but who knew right?

i wondered how many people out there who thinks about commiting suicides everyday, and what made them stop from doing it?

God? friends? family?

makes you realise that you are indeed very very very very very very very LUCKY to have all three.
