Last night, a guild mate of a friend of mine in World of Warcraft committed suicide. Though I did not know the player personally, my buddy and his guild feel absolutely devastated. From what they know, the player committed suicide in his/her own home shortly after logging off World of Warcraft.
This is something constantly preached in my workplace and organization and I will continue to do my duty to remind everyone as well. I always preach family in every community and organization whether it's a guild in a video game or at a work place and it is up to us to look out for one another.
If you know someone going through issues, be their light and drag them out of the darkness! Talk to them, listen, and get help! If you are someone going through troubles, please do not hesitate to seek someone out! Forget your pride! Suicide is not worth it and will only leave family and friends broken. It is a very selfish act - a permanent solution to a temporary problem. The world is MASSIVE and is waiting for you to go out there to live out your best! Go travel, hike up a mountain, try new food, discover new hobbies, etc!
For whomever this goes out to: Be strong. Always remember that there are other people in the world who are in a much worse situation. Do not be afraid to seek aid and help - for it doesn't show weakness but STRENGTH OF CHARACTER.
