Sadly, we have seen younger and younger people experimenting with tattoos, body-piercing, tobacco, alcohol, drugs, gambling, and sex. This destructive trend will be broken only when young people are supported by a solid foundation of love and values before they are tempted to look for happiness by chasing empty illusions. My hope is that The Value of the Gift will make a contribution here. I believe in approaching life from a metaphysical perspective, which seeks to correct and uplift our thoughts, rather than trying to fix a material condition. Release the ego's grip on your emotions, and Love will do the rest.
Suicide results from a feeling of hopelessness, which is a lack of faith.
Faith and hopelessness are, quite simply, mutually exclusive. As harsh as this may sound, anorexia is a desperate attempt to manipulate others into conforming to one's own egocentric universe. This belief, if not healed, will quickly become chronic to the point of self-destruction. Again, if we release the ego's grip on our emotions, Love will do the rest. It breaks my heart to see how our country attempts to fight school violence, for example, by focusing on the symptoms rather than the disease.
