"(Don't) Be Hamlet"

           The act or an instance of taking one’s own life voluntarily and intentionally, this is one of the many definitions of suicide. You, Hamlet, are debating and continually questioning yourself about whether to commit suicide or not. I, for one, think you should take that absurd thought out of your mind and move on. You’re being selfish just thinking about taking your life. One, you’ll be hurting other people, and two it is against your religious beliefs.
            Hamlet, this has got to be one of the worst thoughts you’ve ever had. You say you want to kill yourself in order to end your misery, but what about your friends and family? Do they not matter to you? You can see they are all already panicking because you’re not acting like yourself, just imagine how they would be if you were gone forever. Your mother would be destroyed; she loves you way too much and your friends would be lost. They look at you as their role model.
            Just think, what would God do? Would he want you to commit murder, one of the biggest sins out there? Not only has everyone reminded you, but you already know that suicide is a huge sin. It goes against your beliefs. You think you’re suffering right now, just wait until you die. Odds are you won’t have a great after life for taking your own life.
            Honestly Hamlet, I don’t think you are even going to go through with committing suicide. If you were going to do it already, you would have done it a long time ago, why wait this long? Take that thought out of your mind completely. The person who should be murdered isn’t you, but your uncle Claudius. So don’t commit suicide, get over the whole idea.
