Real cause and solution. by Shashi on 22 Feb 2009

This is what will happen when we don't realise our real self. This depression and the resultant action of suicide is very tragic and will keep on increasing if we don't start getting back to our spirituality and strong points. We have to realise we are the soul and not this body. This material life is a misery and our real benefit is in realising self and God. May god give the peace to the soul.

global meltdown by chandrakant on 22 Feb 2009

In this time of global meltdown, the ancient Indian philosophy of want not waste not and live within your means gets added dimensions. Post IT boom, almost every english savvy person adapted a consumerist and materialistic attitude towards life. Its only problem is it doesnot prepare you for a rainy day/disaster. So, would it not be prudent to adopt our own principles in leading the life which are simple and stressfree?

Highly paid techies too early in thier lives never believed in saving for the rainy day when the going was good.

suicide reply by harold on 03 Mar 2009

Most men at some point in life would have reached a very challenging point in life on many occasions. Conceding to commit ones own life is very unfortunate. Life is a cycle between challenges and pleasurable moments. Actually there is a thin line between these two extremes. People who are guided by circumstances and not by divine guidance usually rely on self made solutions. Humans were not expected to rely on self but by the directives of the most high.
