Suicide is the act of intentionally causing one's own death/taking one's own life. Many people get depressed at one point or the other in the life,which can be due to loss of a loved one , Job, assets and many more.Unfortunately some people get so depressed as a result of their mental illness or life circumstances, that they consider suicide as an option to escape from their emotional pain.
No!! Suicide is not the way out. Whilst browsing through the internet today, I came across some great quotes that could help free anyone on this platform having suicidal thoughts.
1). “When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.” – Harriet Beecher Stowe
2).“Place your hand over your heart, can you feel it? That is called purpose. You’re alive for a reason so don’t ever give up.” – Unknown
3). “Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.”
4). Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle.
5).Grit your teeth and let it hurt. Don't deny it, don't be overwhelmed by it. It will not last forever.
Harold Kushner
6). Anyone who commits suicide is selfish. Pastor Chris
7). Suicide is not the way out, kill the depression by not ending your life. 
To the steemitfamily, no one is permitted to commit suicide. We are growing bigger,stronger and better each day.
NB: if you know of anyone who is depressed,kindly reach out to him/her today. That singular act might save a life.
