Suicide and the Strength to Surrender

A recent suicide from my hometown got me thinking about suicide as a whole, and my experience being on that ledge. I narrowed down what I feel about suicide in to the concept that it takes strength to surrender. Strength is derived from your ability to hold yourself in both darkness and light. This allows you to choose the hard decision that may not feel good now (dark), but will set you up for success later (light). To surrender is to throw your hands up to the sky and listen to that quiet voice that prompts you to do good (God). God will provide you the path, but you have to surrender your Earthly desires to follow it, but you'll only be able to surrender if you're strong enough to.
