00:00In general, when a person who is 25 or 40 or something or 15 dies by suicide,
00:07we find it so regrettable. Why?
00:10Because there was so much more to be done and that person ended his or her life
00:16and therefore deprived himself of the opportunity to do more and be more in life, right?
00:24And that's why when there is a suicide, we all feel sad
00:27because a suicide is wastage of opportunity, right?
00:31That's how we define it and that's why we are so very lamentable.
00:37Now tell me, how many of us, even if we live till 80,
00:42actually manage to realize our possibility and potential?
00:45Hardly anybody. So are we all not then guilty of suicide?
00:50But then we say a fellow has committed suicide only if he hangs himself or poisons himself
00:56or jumps from a building.
