I believe that everyone knew about the a guy committed suicide in cheras few days back. Before i proceed, just to clarify that i am neutral about what i am going to write onward, i am just giving my own opinion regarding this matter.
I mean, is death really the only solution? Why people nowadays can just kill themselves so easily once they are stuck with problems? Alviss Kong, the guy who committed suicide after his gf decided to leaves him because her of her ex-bf. After his death, there are lots of comments on the internet, some are compliments and some are critiques. There are even some people who had set up a webpage to honour him for his loyalty towards love.
In my humble opinion, his act of committing suicide is irrational. Death can't solve problem at all. Maybe he is trying to get his gf's attention back by committing suicide ( just my opinion though), but is it worth it? To be honest, he is quite the handsome guy and for sure he will be able to find his Mrs right in the future. Yes we do feel that he loves his gf very much, but his family loves him even deeper. Now he is gone and what he had left is despair and sadness to his family. When i read the newspaper, i can't help but feeling sad for what his family has to goes through now, the emptiness in his family's heart, it will never recovers, no matter how long it takes.
There is a Chinese saying: " Every part of our body is a gift from our parents" ( a direct translate for 身体发肤，受之父母), our parents love us ever since we were born and as their children, we should take care of them, mentally and physically, as in feeling and health. As a Chinese, filial piety is very important, and we should follow it. Now, by committing suicide for a woman that he just met within half a year, he has just defies this filial piety towards his parents. I mean, your parents had been taking care of you for 22 years, and then you repay their love by breaking their hearts, that is cruel.
And for those who honour his act of committing suicide for love, this is irrational as well. I mean, this will only encourage more youngsters to follow his footstep whenever they face love problems and death is definitely not the solution.
I hope that for those for are facing a similar problem during relationship, please do not think that death is the only solution. Some people said that it take so much courage to commit suicide and it is not because everyone fears death. If you had gather so much courage just to commit suicide, why not use it to solve your problems? May you rest in peace, Alviss Kong.
