SUICIDE, IS THAT THE ONLY OPTION TO ESCAPE LIFE TURMOILS?


Depression often leads to suicide, but you can overcome those suicidal tendencies


Depression often leads to suicide, but you can overcome those suicidal tendencies.



In response to extreme life problems, such as poverty, emotional pain, marriage problems, child abuse, debt, poor health, emotional upset, terrible living conditions, mental disorders, injury, chronic disease, and a lot of others, many choose to take their own life. 

Unfortunately, the people seemed not to value life any longer and would rather resort to this act that the scriptures speak against in the Holy Bible.

I have never met any suicide victim before because it's only a few who survive when quickly saved. But one day I met a beautiful mother of two nice daughters in Antwerp, at the central library, and we became friends. 

During our conversation, she told me the stupid thing she did when she was seventeen. She jumped over a bridge and fell onto a highway to end her life, but no vehicle ran over her.

As I look at her, I know that she was saved because the Lord wants her to survive to tell others not to attempt suicide during emotional stress or any other problem. 

Then I asked her if she has faith in God. She shuddered negatively but said she believes there is a certain spirit that guides us. I said Yes! That unseen spirit that guides us is the Lord, Jesus, the unseen guest.

In fact, suicide is an evil thing to do. I feel sorry for those who take other people's lives by their own request when gravely ill. The wounds suicide leaves in the lives of those left behind are often deep and long-lasting. 

Many people underestimate the Bible. But that Holy Book is powerful in healing a tormented mind than the doctor's prescription.

Pray without ceasing in the time of distress and see the miraculous result afterward. Life is beautiful and precious, so we mustn't waste it.

BELGIUM IN GOOD SHAPE AS ECONOMY IMPROVES

Despite the bank crisis in 2008 and the severe global economic recession in 2009, Belgium's economy has improved rapidly as ever thought.


The economy recovered by two percent against last year, when the crisis was at its peak, and hopefully, 37,000 jobs will be created this year. What are the reasons that improved the economy at a very fast rate?

The export played a very significant role in Tonsin Belgium's economic growth in 2010.

 Belgium's goods leave the harbor daily to most of the European countries, including the United States of America, thereby generating much capital to sustain the economy.

Present at the conference were various journalists representing different media, including Mr. Bart De Weaver, the president of N-VA, a Flemish Party that strives for independent Flanders in a United Europe.

The conference was officially opened by Mr. Walter Van Den Branden, the current chairman of the Vlaamse Journalisten Vereniging. 

Key members of the association, including the head of the recognition commission, discussed the management and analysis of financial condition and results of operations at the conference. 


The role of journalists in this new environment and the many sacrifices journalists around the world make to do their job well were also discussed.

Members who have been within the association in the past 25 years were rewarded with gifts presented by the chairman for their hard work and dedication to keep the association growing from strength to strength. 

One of such members is the well-known cartoonist Mr. Bob Vincke.

Bart De Weaver's appearance at the meeting generated many questions from some of the members. He patiently answered every question. 

Some of the members had the opportunity to take photographs with him. The meeting finally came to an end after a buffet and drinks for the members.
