Suicide Attempt

This evening, a youth suddenly appeared on the rooftop of my neighbouring block. He was sitting on the edge of the rooftop, looked very depressed and confused. The block of building is 14 storey high. Soon after, the police, fire department officers and vehicles, ambulance arrived at the scene. In less than 10 minutes, the rescue air cushions were set up on the ground of that building. Police and Fire fighting officers rushed to the roof top try to talk to him. It took these officers almost one and a half hour to snatch him from the edge of the roof, while he was distracted by the audience on the ground.
The drama finally ended with no life costs.

But to me there is a basic question: Why must someone tries to terminate his own life? Especially he is young! He should try to explore life, enjoy life. I believe this young man must be troubled by emotional problems; may be boy-girl relation that sort. If it is true, then would be most silly to attempt committing suicide. Love needs to parties to work with, if one party lost interest, then should start another journey, especially you are young.

No matter what happen, life is precious. If you yourself do not treasure it, who will?
