I was sharing with some friends today, and we were talking about how you might be living but feel so low, you know? Waking up thankful for another day but see the stagnancy in your life and wonder, what you are doing. Of what benefit is the job you're doing, besides the income of course. You think of your age mates, colleagues, friends, relatives, and start comparing, what are you not doing right since they seem to be progressing and you try but seem to be on hold. I have heard people saying they're tired of their lives, they want to give up. They think dying is their next option, probably the only solution, a rest from everything for good, you know? I listen and I think of myself too, think of when many times I've wanted to give up. Does it get to this? Maybe it's not about suicide, it's just the thought of resting in peace and not waking up again. It could be a solution, but have I exhausted every option? Sometimes we're too drained to pray, you know...
