Ceci est ma Vie

A certain thought has got me pondering over the last few days.

When is it that you decide that life is not worth living ?? Can you even decide that ??

On the face of it....some people can take that decision...thats why some people choose death over life. I remeber the conversation I had with Somaiya about existential litaerature and greats like Kamu whose theory was that suicide is not a sudden decision because something bad happened. Its a conscious decision that one takes over a long period of time as to whether life is worth living or not...the trigger to take that step could be anything small...but the reasons are much bigger...

But still...I can't begin to imagine the kind of courage one would need to do it...I mean perfectly normal people...god's privilleged children...only minor complications...surely there is nothing that cannot be undone...surely there is nothing that time cannot heal....

Just look back at your life once...think of the people to whom you are the world...parents...friends...surely life is worth living....indeed life is worth loving....
