Is there really no other way?

I think people who have been following the entertainment news would have read that in a span of two months, two Korean celebrities have committed suicide. I searched the web and most of the celebrities commit suicide because of false rumours. I really understand the meaning of 人言可畏.

Sometimes I would ask myself, "Is there really no other way?" I felt very burdened by their sadness. Don't they have anyone to talk to? What went through their mind the moment when they want to end their life? Why can't they seek help? It's not the end of the world. People in the 3rd world country and struggling to survive in the midst of their poverty, while people in the modern countries get troubled by wagging tongues. Why didn't someone reach out to them to help them tide over the difficult situations? Celebrities have to suffer such greater setbacks in the same situations than normal people like us.

Most of the times, I wished I had the ability to be a listening ear and help them. What can I do?
