Is killing an option ?

Success is what everyone desires, but accomplishing it is knotty. Not everyone can take failure in a positive manner and stand up every single time with the same vigour to achieve their aims.
With recent incidences of student suicides in Mumbai, the fact that today’s kids (I force myself to call them that) are losing faith in their own calibre is evident. 11 yrs old, who is a fantabulous dancer had won many awards for the same hung herself to death; what a shame. A child who is tops the class , fails to do it just once goes in depression , funny but true, even though they don’t make news in broadsheets, these issues remain around us all the time.
How, who, when, where these facts are stamped in the heads of these kids that learning is only from the book and to rote is the only way to reach the apex! “There is a skill I am good at and I am proud of it” this attitude is lost. The confidence to accept that ‘I have people superior to me, but I will try getting better with every step I take ’just drains down.
As they fail optimism they hide their failure under the newly developed terms called “peer pressures”, “bad education system”, “stress lead by depression”.Resort to the most atrocious behaviour of killing themselves, under pretext of all the suffering they faced in their lives.
If you are a human being with all your senses working well, you cannot blame anyone under the sun for your difficulties. It was you who chose to take it. You had an option of not doing what you did not believe in and not fall prey for that pressure. As a matter of fact even the speechless animals’ don’t, then why will you?
Life is a race and it is incomprehensible why winning is so important than participating, playing and finishing it. Also the more you fall and fail the more you learn and gain. Failing teaches you ‘what not to do’ and ‘if one door closes two new open ‘. Does success do that? I have my doubts. This requires patience and honesty to accept pitfalls which youngsters probably lack in this make belief world
