What I am living for? There is nothing left except pain. Each minute is a decade and it is getting on my nerves. I cannot bear this anymore; I want to finish my life. But How? What is the easiest and best way to commit suicide? How can this be painless so that I don’t even realize that my soul has come out of my body? If this is the thought in your mind then let me tell you that you are not alone. I am not a counselor or someone to guide here but what I would write now is something from my own experience. For me suicide is too easy. There are numerous ways to commit suicide and the list is countless but that is not what I want to talk about in this post.
Suicide is all about a moment. It is the moment that forces you to end your life. People who have passed through that moment and still survived often regret their action. Suicide is just a symptom of a bigger problem and that bigger problem is different scenarios that force us to commit Suicide. Study the symptoms to get the problem and your life would be changed.
This post is all about different things happening to you in your life which are nothing but the easiest and best ways to commit suicide. Make this part of your behavior and you would have no option but to commit suicide sooner or later. Avoid them and you can live again. These are the areas that are nothing less then committing suicide everyday in your life and not living the natural way. Lets talk about them now
1) Expectation-Most people commit suicide because they have expectations from others and if others fail they have nothing left to live for. You keep expectation from life, the one you love, you family, friends, mentors etc. etc. and it seems your life is running on expectations only. When no one lives upto your expectations you feel that world is bad and that you life is meaningless. So you have two options- keep expectations from others and get forced to commit suicide or dont keep expectations on others and live your life the adventurous way. The choice is yours. Ask yourself “Am I suffering because I am keeping expectations from others?” and you would get the answer.
2) Comparison- Your life is going nowhere, you don’t posses the luxuries, you don’t have a boyfriend, you aren’t happy while every other person around you have so much promising stuff in their lives. It is habit of people to compare and then feel bad about them. The situation aggravates with time and they feel that it is only them who have all the suffering in life. Not enjoying what you have and spoiling you life by doing comparison is nothing less then committing suicide. You are unique and so are your problems, you life, and your issues. Face them and learn to enjoy in them. Comparing yourself and feeling bad about it is nothing less then committing suicide.
3) Feeling Sorry For Yourself- You cannot win, you cannot buy, you cannot perform, you cannot enjoy just because there is some issue with you and your excuse has always been one thing or the other. You are always a sorry figure and it does gets you some attention. Soon you develop a habit of it and feel that people should empathize with you more and more. You get a kick out of it and somehow enjoy it too. Feeling sorry for yourself is like committing a suicide in itself because you yourself close all doors of improvement or effort in your life.
4) Negativity- Everytime you look at something you look at bad side of it. You mind is always jealous of one thing or the other. Your whole day goes into thinking about things that holds no importance. Your heart is filled with hatred and you desire nothing but bad things. It is all about mind and with time you have filled it with bad feelings and thoughts. You develop a habit that is nothing but compares to committing suicide.
5) Not Seeking Help- Internally you know you suffer from things like depression, stress, anxiety but you are afraid to seek help. Something in you stops you from seeking help and you believe everything would be right soon. But the problem aggravates and soon you are standing on the verge to give your life. Not seeking help from professionals or people who matter in your life is among the easiest and best way to commit suicide.
6) Fear Of Change- You want a change badly in your life but you are scared to take the first step. You are sick of your environment but cannot muster enough courage to go for a change. The end result is that you stay wherever you are and with time create a grave for yourself. Keeping fear in your mind and not seeking change is a form to commit suicide.
7) No Work- Not doing any work and not keeping yourself busy soon deteriorates your mind and brings both bad health and thoughts in your mind. Keeping yourself busy is best way to get rid of multiple diseases and sins. Doing nothing and letting your mind wander aimlessly is one of easiest and best way to commit suicide.
Giving your life is too easy. It is the easiest thing you can do. But the real change lies in facing your life head on. If you are even thinking of committing suicide then read the above points and you would yourself realize that by doing one of above 7 things you have already pushed yourself on verge of committing suicide. The best you can do now is to reverse its effect. Yes, now that you know the symptom that has caused problem you should definitely take the first step to be atleast positive for this moment and reverse the bad part. Go…….take the first step…….Life is fun, discover it. Kill the problem, give life another chance.
If you’ve come here with the intention of ending your life you’ve come to the right place. However, instead of the usual ‘how to end your life’ guides I’m going to list some of the ways in which you’ve already been killing yourself.
“To make yourself something less than you can be – that too is a form of suicide”
~Benjamin Lichtenberg
Suicide is the act of taking one’s life, but I think it’s suicide not to live our life to the fullest of our abilities and potential — with love, passion, and vitality.
If you don’t love the life you live, you’re already dead (or at least en route, ETA — soon). Use this article as an eye opener, if you will, and if there are some areas of your life heading south, see to it that you stop pressing the trigger.
1. Make Money Your Life.
I’ve seen this problem rise up too many times before. Many of my college friends, who were so goal oriented and ambitious have found themselves struck with depression because they realize that their hopes and dreams are just a socially conditioned desire entirely dependent upon their monetary success.
We put so much meaning to money that we fail to recognize that it’s an inanimate object like any other. The truth is that money is green paper, something entirely bereft of depth and no testament to our personal value. That’s just the point! If you do value a green piece of paper as yourself, you are committing suicide.
2. Detrimental Food Choices.
Think of your body as a machine. Every time you fill up on low-grade fuel, your engine is deteriorating. Likewise, if you take the easy way out – this can mean binging on junk food or eliminating food altogether instead of following a healthy diet – you’re killing your precious organs and slowly taking your life.
Fad diets and quick-fixes aren’t the solution. Life is a work in progress that requires our constant and consistent attention. Just like a machine, our body must be kept well-oiled, receive proper maintenance, and not be abused if we expect it to last.
3. Destroying The Environment.
The legacy that we leave behind is solely based on our descendants. Whether it be the offspring of our offspring, or the future generations to follow, by destroying the environment, you are effectively making it harder for these people to survive.
If they don’t have an earth to call home, then whatever you’ve done, and however you’ve contributed to the world dies with them. We are so obsessed with our own property that we fail to see the greater picture. Learn to think of the earth that you live in as your home, all of it’s bountiful gifts as our access to pleasure, and our responsibility to keep it in the healthiest of conditions.
4. Isolating Yourself From Family, Friends, and Society.
Our inability to come to terms with people, whether they be our loved ones, or others that we co-exist with, is a product of our self-righteousness.
We have to learn to at the expense of being right. Instead of seeing people as relative to our expectations, we can choose to see people as endless possibilities. This means giving up being right, in favor of harmonious and fulfilling relationships.
5. Allowing Your Judgments To Rule Your Life.
We can make what we think about people as a whole and as individuals the ultimate guide to our lives. By living that people are manipulative, or ultimately out to get us, we’re creating a world for ourselves in which we’re the victims. We can choose to live a life in which people are brilliant. We can choose to see faults as occasional bad apples rather than virtues as occasional good ones.
We must understand that our judgment is not outside of ourselves and that we can convince ourselves of anything and live accordingly. Have you ever noticed that when you deem someone a bad person, everything they do is not genuine, by default? This is because our judgment has created a world of its own; creating a defense mechanism that is not always good or necessary and may make you more cynical, not happy.
6. Usage of Alcohol, Drugs & Very Excessive Smoking.
Don’t do it — need I say more? Okay, I will. By surrounding yourself with people whose attention is focused around such activities you are leaving yourself wide open to their influence.
The idea isn’t to prove day in and day out how strong and resilient you can be. Eventually you’re liable to have a moment of weakness. Do yourself a favor and surround yourself with people you admire, so that emulating them will be a blessing.
7. Forgetting Your Dreams.
Throughout the course of our life we are all capable of losing sight of our dreams and become susceptible to surviving life instead of living it. This can come in the form of not doing what we love, making excuses for our lack of drive, and allowing others to access our limits.
Not that dreams can’t change over time, they should, but we allow them to adapt only to ourselves instead of to our circumstances. People will always have an opinion, but it is important to remember that we are not puppets and are not obligated to live into another persons vision.
8. Giving Up On Growth.
Did you know that a shark must be moving forward at all times? The water runs through it’s gills, providing the required oxygen to sustain life. They’re even moving while asleep. In much the same way human beings must be subject to constant and never ending improvement in order to maintain happiness and fulfillment.
A person that stays still, much like a stagnant body of water, will become infested with doubt, and soiled with insecurities. We’re living in a world of change, so we must embrace change, instead of fearing and avoiding it.
9. Losing Your Individualism.
It’s important to realize that in the grand scheme of things we’re nothing — quite insignificant. However, in order for us to avoid being swallowed up by the latest drivel to come by our senses we must maintain a strong sense of who we are.
Nothing else will keep us from being the victim of a charismatic dictator, an overbearing bully, an infomercial, or an enticing breach of morality. We must choose, not be chosen for.
10. Apathy.
If indifference is the toxic that lacerates, apathy is the venom that leaves us to a slow and painful demise. When the words “I Don’t care” begin to carry that same meaning, we must be on alert!
Once people give up on themselves they’re giving up on everything. Their lives become a day to day search for the minimalist pleasures that leave them believing that their lives are as good as they will ever be, with no hope for beauty, joy, and fulfillment. This is the paradigm of suicide.
“You have a choice. Live or die. Every breath is a choice. Every minute is a choice. To be or not to be.”
~Chuck Palahniuk
We all have points at which we feel like giving up because we are lonely or unhappy. The most important thing to grasp is that we make the choice to be lonely, to be unhappy, to be victims of circumstance, rather than vessels of possibility. It is, however, this realization that we are the arbiters of our fate, which can save us and serve us. There is
always hope.
Reading this, you are no doubt either mourning for a loved one, or thinking about the fragility of human life. Either way, you are not in a happy state. However, you are here based on what the title says, and that means you are thinking of getting cremation services done rather than a traditional burial. So let's get on with it shall we?
First things first, what is a cremation? Basically, it is when the remains of the dead are burned at extreme temperatures as to render the body into ash without any solid residue left. The ash is then either placed in an urn or scattered in a pre-determined place or whatever the deceased wish to be done with it. Some would want it placed in lockets so their loved ones can wear his remains close to their hearts, while some may opt to have the ash scattered at sea or in a place where the deceased used to frequent. The possibilities are endless and this is one of the advantages of getting a cremation rather than a burial.
Another advantage is that it is (arguably) much more safe for everyone. What do I mean? Well, bodies decay and sometimes they don't get buried properly and this can cause problems. Even during the wake itself, a body may start to release noxious gas that can cause illness to those attending. A cremation done right away will prevent that from happening. Also, if the deceased has succumbed to a disease or some other contagious sickness, the risk of the virus getting passed on to the living is null. Basically, people think that having a body cremated is better for everyone involved rather than having a burial.
This next one is rather trivial, but with the rate things are going today, nevertheless important to consider. With the world's population numbering to the billions, it is no wonder then that most cemeteries today are over crowded. The ones that still have space? Cost an arm and a leg. It is good to have a solid funeral plan laid to know what you want to do, rather than have to deal with finding a burial plot and other logistical matters. Having a body reduced to ashes means space and flexibility. You can have the ashes scattered or placed in an urn, and the family need not have to visit a cemetery to pay tribute to the dead.
There are many advantages to having cremation services rather than a burial, but of course there are disadvantages. Each have their own actually, but that is for another article altogether. If you want to know more, you can ask the various funeral services near you for more information. If you can't find one in the area, well, you can just ask the ones that are closest to you as to which between cremations and burials are advantageous to you. But in the end, it all boils down to personal preference. If the deceased want to be buried, then by gum respect their wishes.
Cremated remains can be scattered or buried. Cremation plots or columbarium niches are usually cheaper than traditional burial plots or mausoleum crypts, and require less space. Some religions, such as Roman Catholicism, require the burial or entombment of cremation remains, but burial of cremation remains may often be accomplished in the burial plot of another person, such as a family member, without any additional cost. It is also very common to scatter the remains in a place which was liked by the deceased such as the sea, a river, a beach or a park, following his/her last will. This is generally forbidden in public places but very easy to do. Some persons choose to have a small part of their ashes scattered in space known as space burial.
