Something sad just happened...

Yesterday I received news that my friend from my old secondary school just passed away. It is shocking as I never expect this kind of thing to happen, at least not to him. We used to be good friends back in secondary 1 and 2 and I remember him as a cheerful and maybe a bit mischievous person. He gave me the impression that he was tough both physically and mentally. I wonder what happened that made him choose to end his life.

This is the first time that something like this happen to people I know, and I really really hope it is the last. I never believed in suicide is a good way to solve problem. In fact, I strongly oppose it as it cause more pain and suffering to the people around than the one who committed it. Death may be a way to end the sorrow but life is a gift and we should live it well no matter how hard it is.

I hope my friend rests in peace, but I wished he had chosen otherwise.
