Answer:
Nope... I think, as apparently you do... that it's an act of desperation... or maybe futility That's the suicide's problem. He, or she is tired of trying. Whether they're trying to succeed, to gain something, to get rid of something... nothing has worked. I don't think the suicide expects to achieve whatever it is they're striving for as a result of taking his or her own life. I would guess not. All they want is to get stop the futility.
I suppose to those left behind, it's selfish. But that's their problem. They can get over it, or they can let it fester inside them. They can remember the good the deceased did, or they can bash him or her for his or her last act. Talk about selfish.
Death is a natural part of a mortal life... That's what 'mortal' means.
Right. That may be easy for you to say if you have never had a loved one to take their life. In essence, it is selfish because the person is not thinking about the heartbreak they are leaving behind. How would you like to find your mother hanging from the drapery valance by a drape? Or find your mother lying in every drop of blood that has drained out of her body from a gaping gunshot wound to the head? That happened to two different people I know, and family and
friends were devastated.
Most of us have thoughts of suicide at one time or another. It is your choice how you will act upon the thoughts.
Honestly, i believe that suicide is a selfish act. Even though it may be hell, but it takes time to pick it back up (in which they should at least try for a while). It's selfish because they won't know how many people will grieve and feel sad for them. :(
I think it is, but that's just me.
i dont think so. if they are feeling so badly, it isn't selfish. if the people who they love can't help them or care, then they are selfish. it is to end their misery. they aren't thinking if it is selfish. if they are contemplating suicide, they don't care.
Hm. From a life of HELL to actually GOING to HELL. Yeah. Suicide is selfish and completely irrational. Ending your life because your life sucks? That's rediculous. It's worse in Hell, which is where they'd be going.
I don't know. I've pondered the subject many times, and I still don't understand it.
Maybe someone just wants to see what happens after they "die".
I'm curious.
as much as i think that you have to be pretty depressed about your life to commit suicide, the fact that that person does not take into consideration the consequences that follow is selfish. no matter how much someone feels lonely, there is someone that cares about them. i have had a friend commit suicide, i wasn't very close to her but it was hell. i think suicide is injustifiable in most cases, and very selfish.
NO MATTER HOW WELL U ARGUE, THE ANSWER IS YES!! IT IS THE MOST SELFISH ACT OF ALL!
Suicide is a selfish act and a cop out!....How many other people in this world have problems( probably ones worst than the person who kills themselves), but they find a way out...theres always a better solution than suicide....believe me, i know.
But no matter who the person is, there is someone in the world whose life is far, far worse than theirs, and chances are they aren't committing suicide, but working and struggling through their problems like everyone else does.
I think yes. Because we do not own our life in the first place. God gave it and only God can take it away. We have free will yes but that does not include decisions such as taking a life.
THE ONLY THING SUICIDE ACCOMPLISHES IS TAKING YOUR PAIN AND GIVING IT TOO SOMEONE ELSE. I HAVE BEEN THERE, I NEVER WANTED HIS PAIN NOR DID ANYONE ELSE. GO GET HELP, DON'T HURT YOUR LOVED ONES LIKE THIS. YES IT IS VERY SELFISH.
Well think of this. One of the few survivors who jumped off the Golden Gate bridge said that as soon as his feet left the bridge he realized that this was the stupidest thing he ever did.
Now he sees his life and realizes it would have been very selfish for him to kill himself. He's now a woodworking teacher. He wonders who would have taught all his students how to work with wood. Who would have walked his daughter down the aisle.
Also what about the people who are going to be in hell now that the person is dead.
