There Is No Restart Button

Why do people end their own lives? There are many reasons, and the first ones people often think of are heartbreak, the loss of a loved one, financial struggles, or simply being unable to cope with the harsh realities of life.

Another idea that circulates-especially among teenagers and young adults influenced by fiction-is the belief that death might lead to escape: being isekai'd, reborn, transported, or reincarnated into another world where they gain overwhelming power, fame, admiration, or everything they feel they lack in this life. But few stop to consider what might actually await them afterward.

From a religious perspective, it isn't a fantasy world filled with blessings and second chances. It isn't God or Jesus Christ welcoming them. Instead, it is believed to be something far darker-evil forces, demons, or Satan-waiting to claim them. Rather than freedom, they would face imprisonment, stripped of control, trapped within their own bodies while something else takes over.
