Suicide of An Acquintance

Last Wednesday, there has been news of a Myanmar nurse, from the neighboring ward that she jumped off a building from the 4th floor and died.

It was said that her boyfriend had cheated on her with her best friend. She even wrote a letter to her best friend pleading her to take care of the boyfriend and even 'instructed' regarding the likes and dislikes of the guy. So touching and sad.

Her body has since been flown back to Myanmar and prayers for her would be conducted tomorrow in Myanmar.

Some people should say that she is foolish and silly to have ended her life due to love matters and it was inconsiderate of her to commit suicide without thinking of how upset her parents would be. Some would say that she was too blinded by love and by dying would just means that she gave up on her boyfriend, allowing him to be live life scot-free and continue romancing with her best friend. In my eyes, I am touched by her self-sacrificing ways to even go to the extend of writing 'instructions' to her best friend on how to care and keep the guy interested but yet I feel she is silly. With her death, the best friend and the boyfriend would not only be granted their wish but they can also be living the rest of their lives in fear and guilt. Her death is also unfair for her parents and for those who loves her as a close friend, sister, cousin, granddaughter and lastly, colleague. Yet, I can somehow empathize her sadness and anger of losing her boyfriend to someone whom is your best friend.

Anyway, now that she is gone, I pray that she would be happier where-ever she is and bless those who truly loves her and misses her. She was only 22 and had a life-long journey ahead of her but now she has eternity in Heaven, I hope...

God bless her soul.
