Committing suicide #16 (permalink) Thu Jul 02, 2009 22:44 pm   Committing suicide
 

I have thought about committing suicide few times, but I realised it's the worst thing you can do. It's the worst option and kind of "5 minutes of a wrong decision". You can do so many good things in your life as well as do nothing, but commiting suicie for me is selfish or cowardice if you like. Diamond, I totally see your point. People sometimes do not appreciate what they have in their life.

Committing Suicide is weakness. Everyone in life has their share of misery, but does that mean they should go around shooting themselves??

When it seems that life is unbearable; dying won't make it any better. Aren't you afraid of the unknown? What would come after dying? Where would you be?

Dying is a permanent solution to a temporary problem, aside from someone having a terminable illness, and living in constant pain.

To commit suicide can only ever happen when the balance of one's mind is disturbed.

The will to live is ever greater than the will to die.

Hi Uncle Kitosdad,

Isn't it very cruel and uncertain to kill a very ill patient? I've heard it's still a huge debate around the world whether a doctor should really be asked by families to end a very ill patient's life or not.

Hello Rosalisa. You are correct. It is a very sensitive subject and one which will never be truly resolved.
To decide that a loved one should be allowed to die is a position in which I would never hope to find myself. The anguish and grief must be unbearable. The only yardstick that one could apply is that if the request comes from the ill person themselves, and then only after thorough consultation with every member of that persons family.

Kitos.
