An open letter to everyone who judge people who commit suicide

July 16, 2017




Dear Everyone who dare judge us,

Sino ka para i-judge ang desisyong ito? Sino kayo para tawagin silang duwag? Sino kayo para sabihin na selfish sila?

Alam niyo ba ang napagdaanan nila? Alam niyo ba ang hirap na nararamdaman tuwing didilat sa umaga? Alam niyo ba na kung gaano kabigat ang pakiramdam tuwing sisikat ang araw?

Sasabihin niyo sa akin na hindi ito ang solusyon sa problema ko, na pinapasa ko lang ang sakit sa ibang tao. Sa tingin niyo ba naiisip pa yun sa bigat ng nararamdaman nila. Ang gusto niyo ay tuloy tuloy nilang saktan ang sarili nila para magfit sila sa social standards niyo.

Sa tingin niyo ba hindi na nila nasubukan humanap ng positivity sa buhay ko. They see small glimpses of light and happiness, hindi niyo naiintindihan kung gaano kahirap hawakan yun only to be crushed by our inadequacies and later lashing out on others and hurting them too.

Sa tingin niyo ba, sino ang dahilan kung bakit ang tagal bago nila gawin iyun? Dahil ito sa insiip nila ang ibang tao na maapektuhan sa desisyon na ito. This choice, this option only becomes available because for once they want to be selfish and these people know that no matter the pain those they have left behind would be able to move forward with love still in their hearts.

It is not easy for anyone to do this, even I as a person who is only considering this already find it difficult.

For me, I can still delay. For those who took the path of eternal silence, it was their only option to finally feel free and safe. It became too much and they just wanted to stop hating the world and leave while they still see and can remember a tiny bit of light and joy.

What right do you have to judge them for these actions? What right do you have to judge others for considering this path?

Slumber without worries is heaven for those who live like hell everyday. This is not an advocay or a call to accept suicide as a good thing but to get you thinking that perhaps you should think before you open your mouth.
