[1] If You Simply Kill Yourself
If you simply kill yourself in this life
over an obstacle encountered,
and if you are to encounter the obstacle again
in a future life,
the first thought that arises,
is likely to ‘simply kill yourself in this life’ again.
[2] If You Simply Do Not Kill Yourself
If you simply do not kill yourself in this life
over an obstacle encountered,
and if you are to encounter the obstacle again
in this present life and in future lives,
the first thought that arises,
is likely to ‘simply do not kill yourself in this life’ again.
[3] If You Simply Continue To Not Kill Yourself
If you simply continue to have the attitude in [2] instead of [1],
you will become more strong and more resilient,
overcoming obstacle after obstacle.
Such is the power of habit that reinforces over time.
With killing yourself being the worst you can do,
what less worse things should you not do too?
