So many times when I found myself in a difficult situation my solution was wanting to die. I had convinced myself that the dead are better off and that I would be better off dead.  According to the dictionary on google the 'easy way out' means 'extricating oneself from a difficult situation by choosing the simplest rather than the most honourable course of action.' In simple words, it means the easiest but not the best way of doing something, especially a way that does not involve much effort. We have all taken the easy way out at least once in our lives and there is no shame in that because some of live challenges can really take a toll on...
