I've thought about it. Just last week! But then I realize I have a lot more than other people. I think I get that way cause I get selfish, and needy, wanting constantly. When people in much worse living conditions look forward to waking up the next day, because they love life. And when things don't go so smooth, I get rather upset and take it out on my self. Secretly (not so secret anymore eh?) Hahah. I think if I found my purpose, I would be much happier... Hope that made sense. I wish I wasn't so americanised.... hahah I honestly think that is part of it for me aswell.
i've contemplated it many times for many different reasons through my life...depression, anger, desperation, curiousity, being tired of living. but really, its going to happen anyway, why not just wait it out and see what else happens before i finally kick the bucket?
I've thought tons about it but I've never seriously considered doing it no reason to I don't know what death is like, but I know that life can always get better.
I’m too curious about tomorrow BTW: One of the networks is doing this special this week on the incredibly high number of gulf war veterans, who have been offing themselves shortly after returning Hotwater
^i disagree. i think killing youself would take serious balls. we have no idea whats beyond death. if someone has no desire to live, if they take the initiative to change their situation (be it therapy or suicide) i feel that theirs is an act of bravery. i don't think anyone should have to live who doesn't want to.
I agree and disagree with both of you it is pussy to be so scared to continue your life, that you just kill yourself IF there isn't good enough reason. killing yourself does take a shitload of balls FOR the typical person - that isn't insane or extremely desperate/depressed (which typically isn't the person that actually carries it out) even people that attempt to and fail lots've times show extra cowardice in the ways they were attempting (or just stupidity, but still, an extra level of failing)
I think people who call it the coward's way out are full of shit. I wouldn't endorse it or anything. but people are wired to survive on a biological level, the body screams against it's own annihilation. probably the best example of the will overpowering default programming.
i'm more interested in creating and exploring wherever, in what ever life i happen to be. none of which ever seem long enough to learn as much as i would like to that would enable me to better and more easily create. i don't see how shortning any of them is supposed to bennifit this. if someone else want's to throw away theirs to make more room for the rest of us, that's up to them, although i wish they wouldn't leave a mess behind for someone else to have to clean up after. =^^= .../\...
I agree, but although the mind and body are different the line is kind of blurred. one needs the other.
definitely, but in some ways, we are socially conditioned to believe otherwise things like souls and life after death give the mind some ideas that the body isn't needed after all. I wonder if religion affects suicide rate...
sure! I admit I don't know what I'm talking about, but I assume religious people find it way easier to kill themselves for several very different reasons.
on the one hand, you would expect religious people to want to experience life after death but then you also expect a lot of them to believe in sanctity of life, and that their god has a plan or way and what not.. iunno. on a related note did you know there was a Roman sect of Christianity called the Donatists that supported suicide as a way of being a matyr?
