Lately there has been a lot of news of suicide. People who seem

to be successful, to have achieved the things in life one should achieve, have been dying by suicide. Why? I think our lives today are not healthy. We have forgotten the important things, and we made things that are not important into important things.

You didn't get a perfect score on a test? That is ok. You did not get the job you wanted? It is fine. You forgot some words and pronounced things incorrectly? It doesn't matter. Life is not about becoming perfect.

This is why I enjoy haiku. I think haiku speaks of the important things in life. Wake up before the sunrise, and watch as the first beams of light dance on the morning dew. Listen to the cicadas sing as the sunset turns into dusk. Feel the soft breeze blow gently through the trees, rustling the leaves with a gentle rhythm. Enjoy life. Enjoy the moment you have right now. Let each of us live and be happy.

    Well said. I have talked about this topic with one of my language partners, we spent the longest time (almost 6hours) to share our experiences and thoughts. Why do people want to commit suicide? It’s complicated, the source is related to education. People were taught what should be important thing. But in fact, the important thing sometimes isn’t important. The most important is understanding ourselves and love ourselves first. Luckily, I can see the education is changing, more and more materials teach students what life philosophy is (how to care ourselves and others, understand our emotions and how to love). It’s not as before, only focus on scoring and comparing 😒. We shouldn’t live according how others see us. However, there are still a lot of parents only care about children’s scores, it’s a shame and the children are pitiful.
