Inktober 2019 Day 19: Sling

People usually forgot that other than their own life there’s another thing that’s equally important: The reason to live.

—–
Our lives are hanging on slings called reason to live.

We wake up and appreciate life because we have something to look for, something we need to take care of, a person we want to be, places we want to go, or even foods we want to eat.

When there’s still light in front of us, we always dare to struggle a little longer.

—–
But sadly, not everyone has a chance to see those light.

When every day is a suffering life on a hospital bed,
when every day is fear and anxiety of being abused by people you trusted,
When every day is an endless disappointment and pain, those light will finally disappear.

—–
When life gets heavier, those sling called reason to live will start to snap.

As the last sling breaks, life will turn into a meaningless and suffering prison of your soul. That’s why many chose to end their life by their own hands to stop this endless tormenting life.

—–
That’s why we need to be sympathetic, caring, and supporting to those around us. By helping them build strength to their reason to live, you might save them from their suffering.

And if we push people too hard, whether with words or actions, their last sling might snap along with their lives.
