Society Causes Suicides

When I was younger, my immature personality was bundled with a rather unfortunate bonus prize: An inherited cry-baby devil within me which would spray tears during smallest of mishaps. They would then increase because of the situation I had unwittingly gotten myself into. It was a vicious cycle which I dreaded every morning. I knew that I had earned myself a nasty reputation, but I couldn’t ponder it for too long, for this would also stimulate my curse.

After maturing some, I’ve come to realize that the first step to stopping the tear-puddle from forming was to accept myself. I had to come to terms with myself in order to make personal amends. I did not change so that others would accept me, but rather accepting myself is what caused my change. My personality was one of a mensch and my only flaw was the one that haunted me at night, my terrible tears. Now that I evoke the memories which used to terrify me, I realize that, as Lord Krishna one said in the Bhagavad Gita, “People will tell of your undying shame, and for a man of honor, shame is worse than death.” (Pg. 36) And yet, now I understand, that to a man of today, shame should not even exist within us.

Presently, the society in which live experiences a vicious cycle on a major scale. It makes people think that they are not suitable to deserve a place in the club of clones. Once a person with low self-esteem is tested, this vulnerable person chooses to change to fit in. By doing this, they assassinate the individual within them. Once their transformation is complete, they realize, at a subconscious level, that they are weak, and that the unchanged are stronger. Due to jealousy, they employ crappy rhetoric to those already vulnerable so that they too, change. This cycle will continue as long as there are unique individuals in the world, for once the world has killed its individual self, there is nothing else to kill. People will no longer have anything to be envious of. We must save the world and stop this massive suicide.
