Death is something which puts end to everything. There is nothing more final than it. The end of Life is supreme with nothing happening beyond it. But, putting an end to one's own life is the most miserable thing which may be done by anyone. Imagine the amount of pain and deepness of depression which a person suffers when he finally decide to bid goodbye to this world. He or she may be anywhere in this world, sitting in any unknown corner of this world full of unimaginable grief and solitude, misery and denial. His all the hopes have vanished and there is nothing for him left in this world. That is why he takes the final step. He may be trying to laugh with you in the morning, but in the evening he may not be there. He may be someone who looks normal while walking on the street, but inside him he might be holding this mammoth grief and pain and you may not see him walking the street next day.
I was shocked beyond words to read about the two sisters living somewhere in some flat in Delhi who were suffering from severe depression from some months and were rescued by the authorities at the eleventh hour. Later One of the sisters could not respond to treatment and died in the hospital and the second one remains in critical condition. Imagine that depression in which these girls might have been living for months together. A Human life which certainly did not remain human anymore. A life which became unimaginably dreadful and terrifying. Emotional horror is worst than anything else. You can try imagining it, but in reality you will not be able to imagine and understand their condition.
Depression is something which can not be understood until you yourself have faced it. What is Hunger can only be felt by a person who goes to bed without bread on some chilly winter night and not by anyone else. Likewise, loneliness and denial can only be felt by a person who has actually suffered the misery of crying alone in darkness and depression.
Such instances are on rise, every day you can read about such cases happening. The sad cases of Mumbai Model Viveka Babaji or the most unfortunate case of Jagjit Singh’s daughter are there to show that one might be well-off in life and look normal from above, but emotional horror and loneliness deeply buried inside may force him to pull the trigger on his own forehead. My heart sinks in sadness whenever I read such instances in newspapers. End of life in such a manner is the cruelest thing which can happen to anybody. It is the worst tragedy.
I donot know how can I extend any help to such a person. But still if there is anybody who read this blog and want to write to me about anything related to this, please do so. And people who are happy and living a fulfilled and normal life, please donot ignore such unfortunate people who are within your approach. As humans we have a duty to provide emotional security to our fellow humans who may stand in need of it. And on the other side, as a free man or woman, you can do anything to any person but please donot ever hurt anyone in such a way which makes him slip into depression and then leave him on his own fate to suffer, to cry or to die.
