Chantel Taitano's Comments on Jodi Picoult's the Pact

There were moments in my life when everything got murky and there were moments where everything got really bright, but that’s just life. You’ll always have your “up and down” times. There were some times in my life when I just wanted it to end - the pain, the frustration, but then again, there are times when I realize how precious “life” really is. Life is God’s gift to every creature, every human that he created in this world. Instead of wasting those moments on pain, anger, and frustration... spend it wisely. Always look at the bright side of things. Always remember that you’re not only hurting yourself, but others as well, when you commit suicide. The Pact showed me what pain could do to some people. Pain could lead to death and death could lead to sorrow. Suicide will never heal the pain, it extends it.
