a thought about suicide

[GoldenDelicious]

the longer i live, and burn my way through time, the more i think that people who commit suicide sometimes do the right thing

im starting to have a lot of respect for, and empathise with, people who end their lives to preserve their dignity, and live life, and death, according to their own terms

i know that a lot of people are going to say 'what about the family' but you know what, a mans life is his own, and he should live it the way he wants it, or not at all. this applies to young people as well, not just the old and infirm.

being a slave to your own inadequacies and living life on your knees is far worse than a young death, in my opinion

just a thought

 

[Deus Ex Machina]

a little OT: the meaning of life is death, because without death, there's no such thing as life.

does that make sense?

Here's a thought, a person should grab some balls, get off their knees, and make the world a slave to him (or her).....after all, a mans life IS HIS OWN.....is it not.

I see suicide as a legitimate exit strategy under certain circumstances.

everyone says it takes a coward... i dunno about that. it seems pretty damn hard to actually put a gun in your mouth and have the balls to pull the trigger.

Everyone thinks about it at some point.

You either do it or you don't.

Pondering the unponderable is a losers game. You have made the decision to live (otherwise you would be dead already). Now get over it and take the necessary steps to be happy, whether it is accomplishing the goals you've set out to do, seeking the care of a psychiatrist, or both.

uhhh not exactly.

Would you define Pizza as dough because without dough there is no such thing as pizza?

I agree with you. I think people have to take responsibility over their own lives and make something of them. Everybody has their low points and you must decide how to define them.
I know too many people who has done it, and succeeded. The problem is that sometimes it is a physiologial reason for these thoughts. And in that case one really should find help.
It's like walking around with a broken foot that hurts like hell. When you finally mend it you feel so stupid that you didn't do it earlier. It would have saved you a lot of pain.
Being depressed could be a form of sickness, but there is help to get.

CRRRRRRRAAAAAAAP.

The measure of your life is how you face adversity and not 'I just got fired, boo hoo' adversity, I mean ADVERSITY: Jail, cancer, loss of limb, loss of love.

Terminal illness changes that game. As does impending death: sepuku has huge honor.

You can pull the plug and think nothing of family, it is your life to live or waste, until someone calls you Daddy.
