La tristesse durera toujours

La tristesse durera toujours
This words keep ringing inside my head on a moment, while I read front page of a local newspaper recently.
An officer shot his superior then shot himself, a mother poisoned her children then committed suicide, a man shot at her wife then shot himself...and again an officer gone into comma after shot himself on the chin after being frustrated by his wife illness.
Once again...Vincent's words rang over my head. La tristesse durera toujours, sadness will last forever, that was Vincent van Gogh's last words before he died, two days after he shot himself on the chest.
Would this word also clinging inside Mercy's head after she finished her last capsule of cyanide she gave to all her four children? This sorrowful incident also remind me of The Others film starred by Nicole Kidman, I watched two days ago on TV. I don't know if it's kind of coincident, or perhaps the TV station indeed want to say something about dreadful suicidal phenomena recently.
Would it be possible, sadness could drag someone to end up their life? Or, unbearable sadness could turn a loving and caring mom to a murderer? Many theories I've read about suicide, give me a glimpse explanation about the motive, type etc. Suicide, derived from Latin word, sui caedere considered as a willful act of killing oneself or refer to an individual who has take his/her own life (that's what wikiped said). Depression, emotional pain, desire for attention, and so many complex motivations still have to dig out, to give explanation about someone's motives of doing so.
No one able to answer, if the soul already flew away...people just guessing of what might be the reason of doing this dreadful act.
Buddhists believed in Karma, someone's past always have or give a huge influence on what they will face today, or tomorrow. Years ago, Buddhists, Sintos, acknowledged honor suicide, like what Japanese concept of hara-kiri, but still Buddhists and Sintos considered suicide as a negative form of action. Hindus believed, that suicide will lead someone to become a ghost.
Christianity and Islam learnt about martyrdom, in the name of God and faith, which will lead someone direct to heaven. But they confront concept of suicide as well, since suicide gave different picture compare to martyrdom. Catholics and Christians considered suicide as a mortal sin, no soul will accepted if someone committed suicide, so they'll go straight to hell. And Islam, also considered suicide is sinful, with all verses in Koran and Hadist prohibited this action. Judaism, like other Samawi (heavenly) religion, also considered suicide as the most serious sin.
All religion, faith, prohibited suicide, but the action give no retreat movement and increase day by day. Hard to say, that all verses we read, not strong enough to discontinue this action. Sadness will last forever, that's what Vincent thought that time. Is it true? I might not know what other's experience or what might come in front of me. I'm just a girl with a simple thought, that there's no sadness beyond our ability to taste its bitterness. Bitter, I've taste once in coffee, chocolate, medications (tongue), I've taste in separation, loosing someone we loved, betrayal (heart), distrust, underfunded, rejection, underestimation (thought) and many more. I believe, it's kind of path that we have to face no matter how.
Sometimes when I feel extremely sad, I listen to this song Takdir (destiny). I like the lyrics, and hope it will always works for me.
Bila mungkin ada luka coba tersenyumlah

If there'll might be wound, try to smile
Bila mungkin tawa coba bersabar lah

If there'll be laugh, try to patient
Karena air mata tak abadi

Coz tears won't last forever
Akan hilang dan berganti

It will vanished and changed
Bila Hidup hampa terasa

When life feels so dull
Mungkinkah hati merindukan Dia

Would it be this heart missing Him
Karena dengan-Nya hati tenang

Coz by remembering Him this heart feel peace
Damai jiwa dan raga

Peace within body and soul
