The genesis of the desire to live or survive springs from the motivation to live, which every human being normally possess. Such motivations may be numerous and may vary from person to person. For existence it is imperative that every human being has a reason or motivation. But when such reasons or a motivation no longer exist- along with it goes the psychological reason to exist. Therefore it wouldn’t be false to say that our will power to exist is paramount to everything else, even the laws that govern our lives.Considering the above argument, it is still in the best interest of the society, that suicide not be permitted, however disheartened the person may be, because if permitted, it may have a negative effect on the minds of children who for different reasons may contemplate suicide. Human life is an enigma, where events and circumstances may change even in the blink of an eye. Therefore what may seem like a hopeless situation today, may well be worth living the next day; and also because happiness like depression and sadness is a state of mind, that may change according to circumstances that govern us.
