Killing Myself Comments

The violence and destruction taking place in different regions of the world now are the machinations of the wrong people ruling the world whom we elect and they do these sins in the name of democracy. In the backdrop of the dismal picture drawn in the poem, I am moved, inspired and encouraged by the comments of poet Lorraine Colon and Lyn Paul, to do good things and be kind to people even in a very small way. Thanks to the poets for their comments and to you, for the poem.

Do not fall to the violence on earth, killing yourself would kill me, it would take away my hope in finding good in this world. You are one of the few who make a difference with your thoughts in poetry, you bring illumination to a world in darkness. Please continue to shine your light so others may follow your example, and together find the answers to cure this menace of violence. You have not yet realized what a good force you are in this world. The difference you have made in my life, will be recognized by others, do not give up, Amitava, you are a reflection of the good in life.

What we must believe is that this violence will end. It is just greed and it can stop. We just have to find a way and we must believe. Your loss is a huge hole in many hearts so keep on keeping on as Lento would say/ Thank you

Thank you Lorraine and thank you all for sharing your views with your valued comments.

The world you are experiencing today is the same world that has been in existence for hundreds of years. People don't change - they are cruel to each other. This is painful to those of us who know it is wrong. All we can do is be kind to whomever we meet and offer what help we can - no matter how small or insignificant - even if it is only a smile. Killing yourself would just be depriving the world of a good person - and there are too few of them already.
