Suicide ^3 - Page 8

quote

Is there no SIGNIFICANCE in the QUALITY of one's life???

You aren't being broad enough in your considerations.

I merely stated that even if everyone on the planet is against you and everything in yourlife is torture, that choice to end your life is selfish. You yourself admited that it is a choice and a choice that one makes. It is a selfish choice, irrespective of the influence.

The quality of ones life doesn't change the fact that one makes a selfish choice in suicide. That is the nature of suicide; it is a choice. If you are unable to look at it in a considered fashion then you are just as pretentious as me.

I'm sure you already knew you were selfish. I don't expect you to care; I was just pointing out your ignorance.

All you have pointed out to me is you are blinded by your emotions.

All this came about because I said that selfishness of the person is one aspect of the stigma attached to suicide. If you would actually read my original post I was quite sympathetic to the plight of people who feel they suffer, and did not suggest they shouldn't be allowed to. The reality is that it is a selfish choice. That has nothing to do with the reasons why someone kills themself.

The act is indipendent of the cause, can't you see the logic in that?

You had best consider the entirity of my argument before you claim I am ignorant, or you will come out of it seeming that way yourself.

Suicide, Is never an answer.

I am a marine stationed in camp pendleton california. I am with bravo 1/11 artillery. a guy I was friends with in comm school with killed himself the other day. I saw him two days before he did it to. when I saw him he said he and dis wife were having some fights and stuff but other than that he seemed the same. yet 3 days friend of mine called me up and told me smith killed himself and I was in shock. brcause he was one of the most relaxed, laid back people I ever met. just shows suicide can be very hard to stop

Hi I just experienced a death to one of my firends, He hung himself 2 nights ago. I used to have an opinion on Suicide but now I realised I was wrong. He was so ok when I talked to him the other day.

Can someone help me on this? I don't know how I feel, I can't really believe it happened.

i think suicide is wrong nothings that bad that you have to kill yourself remember time is the healer of all wounds

Not that long ago...I actually attempted suicide. It was gonna work had I not come to my sences almost halfway through the process and thought WHAT THE *bleep* AM I DOING? I don't want to kill myself just to end up making everyone else I care about feel the same way and do the same thing. If any of you ever feel like commiting suicide...do one or both of two things...contact me or just plain STOP AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO DO AND WHAT IMPACT IT WILL HAVE ON THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU. Think.

I agree with aquara and Omceer 1701.

Though at times you really feel like you want to suicide, don't. It doesn't solve any of your problems - matter fact, it worsens the situation(if there is one). Would you rather be dead rather than being alive? Don't waste your life like that, you only have one life, and when you die, you're staying that way and you're never coming back. Suicide is a selfish thing to do, it puts you're family and friends at hurt.
