A reminder to value life and parents’ love
In his message, he reminded students of the sacrifices their parents made, from pregnancy until their education.
He pleaded with them not to end their lives but to give themselves and their parents another chance.
From the day you were in your mother’s womb, she protected you carefully. She endured months of hardship to bring you into this world. Please don’t end your life so easily. Give your parents a chance, and give yourself a chance too.”
He said, “Life is not a race. It is a journey to be taken step by step. When you feel helpless, please remember to contact me.”
