Does Suicide EVER Make Sense ?

[CrimsonKing]

Thinking about this alot lately.. wondering if there are any circumstances in which you would think suicide makes sense?

Examples:

1. Murderer, Rapists, Molester commits suicide
2. Terminally Ill commits suicide
3. For the Love of the kids - i.e. Life Insurance payoff???
4. Selfish Reasons (To escape a hopeless situation)????
5. Immature Reasonse (Romatic visions)???
6. To get to the other side????

Being mentally unstable, chemically imbalanced, or mentally ill.

You just end up being reborn anyway. So why bother.

I hate to take this off topic cuz I'm sure there will be some good answers from the folks on the board, but Crimson King did you get that name from a band.
There is a badass band called KingCrimson, they open up for Tool all the time, and have like 2 really cool albums out. Just wondering.

 

[CrimsonKing]

Nope.. I'm a Stephen King fan... I got it from one of his books... A character in it is named Crimson King..

Suicide always makes sense to the one imposing death on his/her self.

Suicide is pointless. You think this is life? Sorry buddy you're all already dead - welcome to hell!

Agreed, when one is in that mindset they're not often being too logical. I suppose it might be different in the terms of an assisted medical suicide in the case of a terminal illness....but when someone's stressed out and depressed and thinking they want to end their life, it makes sense to them-- even if it's not rational. It's very selfish.

Im not thinking of the indiviual making the decision but rather the 'outsiders' judging the decision made to commit suicide...

Thats what I thought, so I'll answer it this way: Its my opinion through self insight and my personal faith that LIFE in itself is a miracle, in respects to how fucking HUGE this Galaxy and beyond is, our mind cannot conceive, we are bounded mentally, knowing this, LIFE is a true gift, a blessing, there is no justification for suicide whatsoever, even when someone is on a death bed, that person is on a different level than most, in a different plain of existence, its an experience, so No suicide never makes sense or dollars. peace

And it just leaves questions in the minds of those left behind.

Suicide bombing always makes sense to the bombers and to the folks that benefit from it.

Good Point !

 

[Lifter4Life]

Suicide is an easy way out and to a person who is desperate it makes sense. Life is tough and i'am sure alot of people at times have thought it would be easier not to deal but things get better and thats what you have to keep in mind. It may not always be easy but you have to stay positive.

 

[gymtime]

And don't forget that suicide is illegal. In less enlightened times, they'd have hung you for it.

Social Darwinism in it's purest form.

A soldier who jumps on a grenade to save his fellow servicemen makes sense to me.

 

[vinylgroover]

I'd have to say yes, it makes sense.

It's alot like investing in stocks or real estate, you've got to have an exit strategy in place, otherwise you'll be in alot of pain.

 

[§äñît¥ Pôí§ðñ]

it's wrong, but it can make sense at times i suppose

 

[fistfullofsteel]

nope, no easy way outs. enjoy your suffering. i don't think life should be all gravy unless you are in so much pain and there is no point.

 

[jennifer BFL chick]

suicide is typically a selfish act, and the person committing it, is only thinking about how bad their life is (typically)

 

[fistfullofsteel]

suicide is typically a selfish act,

so is ignoring a person.
