driven to desperation

guess the common topic now is the news on the tampines family. well, many have been said about them. why must he do it? the children are innocent... there are other ways out, why must he do it?

i do agree with what people say, but i have no comments on what he has done... this is his choice, he has chosen this path, although this path is not totally agreeable, but this is his choice, i respect his decision. as to whether he has done the right thing or not, we humans are not in the position to judge. Only the highest in watever religion, be it Christianity, Buddhism, Muslim etc can judge the human's err.

my concern is, what are the circumstances that drove him to such desperation? i mean we may never know the truth since all of them died. but if such circumstances can drive a man to such desperation, it can happen to any one of us. i think it's sad... very sad that the world has evolved to such a state.

people are used to working hard, saving up the money to buy the things they wanted. but now with such easy credit, people is now used to buy first and pay later. this is a very dangerous habit. the credit juz kept rolling and rolling and before you know it, you could not even pay the minimum amount and the banks start calling and chasing, driving a person to desperation.
pace of life wasn't so hectic in the past, everyone could keep his job. now with global competition, outsourcing and etc etc, if u dun keep up with your work, you are 'deleted'. so people feel the pressure to look hardworking at work, to be accustomed to be squeezed out of their energy, morale for work. the employers juz kept pushing and pushing. the workers juz keep going and going, if u fall out, you are left behind. u have to catch up. it's like you work so damn hard but you are not making enough money for your family. ALL THESE ARE MAKING PEOPLE LOSE HOPE IN LIVING!

maybe he was not so lucky to have friends and relatives to support him (mentally, morally) that was perhaps why he chose this path, to end it all. honestly, i dun think friends or relatives can support financially, but their moral support is important.

juz to end off, that's why i think LIFE SUCKS! you work so damn hard, but you look at your family commitments, you cannot quit your job becos if you do, u may not have the money to pay the loans, the children's education and so on. so u stick to your job for the sake of financial security. so there you go, get stuck in a routine, day in, day out, no life, no happiness. juz like the guy, what's the use of living? but you got to continue to live because you know that it's morally wrong to commit suicide, you know that there are people out there who care for you, so u got to learn to be strong and adapt. but not realising that you have reached your saturation point, so one incident can cause a person to snap!

for students, you think school sucks? wait till you come to the society. you can never graduate from society, but you can graduate from school, so what the heck you are complaining about?
