Why do people think that suicide is wrong?

What if the person has a disease which can't be cured, do you want the person to suffer for the rest of the person's life? Or what if, their family is dead? Suicide is justified in my opinion.

However, when the person does commit suicide, shoot yourself or jump off a building for example. Don't jump in front of a bus or train, the driver will then suffer.
 
A lot of people have helped me out in my life, from parents to teachers to friends and I'm sure it's the same way for most people. Killing yourself just seems like a big "fuck you" to anyone who ever cared about you to me. Especially if it's over something stupid like a breakup or a firing. I would say if you have a disease that can't be cured, that may be another story. But until you are debilitated you should try to do some good. If your family died, that's rough, but I'm pretty sure they'ed want you to go on and find a reason to live. We owe the process of inoculation to a man who lost his wife and daughter to disease btw. He wanted to die, and then he committed himself to medicine. I'm not saying you're going to change the world, but you might find something worth living for.
 
as long as the person isn't self centered. a lot of suicides is the person's last effort to get attention. a guy on this website posted that no one loved him/her and that they were going to commit suicide. that pissed me off so much. if you're going to commit suicide don't try to gather everyone's attention before doing so. especially strangers. I told him off and i honestly don't know whether he did it or not. not to be rude but i frankly didn't care. I didn't even know who he was so i wouldn't be phased if he did.

cool fighter was right too. jumping in front of trains and off buildings is still showing off. be respectful of other people. do a drug overdose or something if you really have too. not write or call someone with some elongated sob story. people don't want to hear that unless they're directly related. that's my opinion on the matter.
 
Why do some people think coolfighter's threads are wrong?

Where do you come up with this stuff?

There is suffering regardless of whether it's obvious (I'm terrible! I hit someone with a truck!) or not so obvious (I really liked that guy but never told him and now he's dead).
 
It depends on the situation. If a guy is a mass murderer and kills himself then people see suicide as a cheap way out.
If a person is deeply depressed then it's just horrible all around for that person and their family.
 
It's a grey area where circumstance and how it's carried out differ. Sometimes there's a valid reason and a valid way, but it's rare and a taboo is built upon it to avoid needless and unjustified suicide.
 
Suicide = Rage quitting on life

In the event of suicidal thoughts, you have to wear this and parade yourself in public.

u mad bro?
 
Religious bans it....At least my religion does..
If you do suffer in life,and see suicidal as a solution,no... you just have to wait and try to withstand it as much as you can,because in the end,it all pays off in paradise,not just any heaven though...
 
Some just happen to be unfortunate. If you have no emotional support from family and friends, you're vulnerable to committing suicide. Why? You have no emotional support from people you trust, to tell you that it's wrong. However, it would be stupid to commit it only to dishonor them imho.


Other times, it's mainly people getting melodramatic over whatever trivial reason. Again, emotional support is needed. There are times you will feel like you can't live on. Don't think like that. Instead, seek out your dear ones for emotional support.
 
I think if you're an atheist than it's perfectly reasonable for you to kill yourself.

Why do people think that suicide is wrong? People value life, or fear death, or are religious.
 
The way I see it, there's nothing wrong with suicide when it comes to chronic, incurable, untreatable suffering. I got Hepatitis A (the kind that goes away, I always feel compelled to say that, a lot of people hear Hep and they freak out) when I was in middle school. Apparently an especially strong case

To give you an example, I lost 30 pounds in the first 8 days, went just under 4 weeks without being able to keep down so much as a single saltine, and had to be put on IV several times to keep me hydrated and somewhat nourished because I couldn't even hold down water, let alone food.

For five and a half weeks my life consisted of laying on my bathroom floor because the chronic fatigue made it so that my body couldn't take the 10 foot walk from the couch to the bathroom to vomit every 5 to 10 minutes.

If I had something that made me feel like that, every day, forever? Seriously, just fucking kill me. Not even a joke.

I don't tend to feel the same way about the "Wahhhh, I'm sad" or "Wahhh, pay attention to me" kinds. Selfish *and* stupid.


(Sidenote: even when you get better, you'd be surprised how difficult it is on your body to start eating again after a month without food)

Funny, I've always said the exact opposite. One of the reasons I can't imagine killing myself is because I am an atheist and don't believe in any sort of afterlife. Even were I miserable, might as well stick it out and try to enjoy whatever small pleasures life can provide. I'll only be around another 40-60 years anyway, I'll have the rest of eternity to not exist.

Yeah I find this to be to true. Even if I said it was reasonable.
Atheists tend to value life a lot more than theists.

I mean if I was an atheist I would've offed myself a long time ago.
 
A working buddy told me, that in his religion, life is considered as a gift from god, and suicide is very ungrateful, that's why it's banned.
And, nevermind god, like Ghengis said it's also ungrateful to anyone that cares for you, and a harassment to anyone who has to deal with it if you do it in a messy way.
I'm not conventionally religious, but to me suicide is also waste in the most cases, because since you don't know what comes after life you could as well try to make the best out of it.
You also have to savor the good times even if they are few.

deal with it. there are tons of people with these "diseases that can't be cured." cancer, AIDS are just the big standing ones. some people are told that they can only live for a certain amount of time left. imagine that! having a ticking down timer put on your life that you are aware of. most of those people live their life to the fullest before that time ends. if they are still alive then it's great and if they do end up dying people respect them for not hiding in a corner for their final days. if you commit suicide just because you have a disease I think you're a pu$$y. and those people will probably agree.

It is selfish of the family (of the victim) to the person suffer just because they want them to live. The person is suffering and is supposed to suffer until the end?

I never said anything about the family making or wanting them to live. it's the person's decision. read my post more carefully please.
