I have my own opinions on suicide, but I was just wondering what you all thought.

Life is simply the most interesting thing around, why run away from it? Suicide are those who feel that there is no other way about it, unfortunately that is not logically sound; everything in life goes through phases.

my husband thinks people who kill themselves are just selfish but i disagre
when you are depresed you dont think staight,i went through a stage of depression last year,the only thing that kept me going was my two boys and my mum,but some people just cant get out of their depresion and they think the rest of their life is going to be like this.untill you have been through bad depression no one will understand why ppl do it,so as i say to my husband "dont judge a man untill you have walked a mile in his shoes"
i def dont think it is a selfish act as when i was depressed i thought everyone would be better off without me, i felt like i was a burden to everyone!!!!!
sorry if im going on too much

Ant.
then you are very, very selfish yourself because you are not thinking of the suicidal person's feelings, but of your own feelings of loss and self pity for having "lost a friend/mate/relative etc)".Originally posted by TheU2:

to take your own possessions is certainly not selfish.

you know improperly labelling them selfish would only make them that bit more suicidal.

Its selfish, yes, but does selfish is necessarily a bad thing ? Its the most personnal decision of a person. This world is fucked-up. You can kill someone (i.e.: legal guns), but you cannot decide to kill yourself cos it's selfish. It's the most personnal decision of a 'normal' person ('normal' i.e.: in a occidental way, I don't know about the other cultures).
Is it selfish ? Yes. Is it selfish in a bad way ? Not always... its a minority.
I never felt the act of my friend did was selfish just to say "fuck you" to all of his familly, friends and her lover. It was a selfish act, cos otherwize he would have drown the world. It's certainly not stupid. I refuse to admit that suicide is stupid.
Cheers
it's a lost cause with you, but that's ok, it's your opinion.Originally posted by TheU2:
I didn't label suicidal people selfish. Just people who actually did it.
