Losing

What does it really mean to lose??? Many people don't really know, they just say they do. It could be not remembering where you put something. That something might be stolen, or it really could be misplaced. You could lose a life on a game, you no longer have it; you used it already. You could lose a game, somebody else could've won it. You could lose a friend, say something that you didn't mean, do something that was really stupid and they no longer want to be near you.
But could losing mean death? No longer able to walk on earth? No longer able to talk to friends or fight with family? I know it can. I lost my grandparents, my uncle, my cousins, and now, I've lost one of the best friends I could ever have. I couldn't save them. Heart attacks are often, old age takes people away every day, one of my cousin burned to death, another only lasted a few days with half a heart. But my best friend died of no ordinary cause, my best friend died of depression, of anger, of suicide... i'm not ranting, I'm not angry, I'm just curious. Why would someone do that to themselves? Why would you take your own life? What if death is really just your life playing over and over again for the rest of time, never once being able to stop the pain of what you did to yourself and other people? Is that really what you want? Or do you want something better, better for you and for others? Loss is a hard thing, no matter how trivial, but it's your decision to be able to make yourself lose enough to do that to yourself...

well written, i agree on many of ur points, good thing to consider, i guess the answer is different for many, i think suicide is one thing that really should not have to exist because its so cruel, in the way ppl want to do it and also how some treat others so badly that the victim is too hurt to consider anything else. there really is no one answer to why someone would kill themselves, the only real way is to ask the person which is hard since they would already be gone, thats why its harder to prevent things like this because no one really no's y, just don't ever do that too yourself and if anyone is considering it or you think they are, try to do something, anything to stop it before it happens, because once they're dead, they're gone for the rest of this life
