I don't mean to be too blunt here but, like-- why is suicide bad? If it's such a risk, something that's so awful and horrible like yeah sure, the fact a person felt death was a better alternative to existence is really sad, but if life is being / has been THAT bad then what makes their reasoning wrong? I don't want anyone I know, gods forbid anybody I know does commit suicide (I am selfish I will lose my entire mind I really really will) but...I don't know, I don't believe in the inherent value of existence anymore. Life of people, the right to life yes, but not the reasons for staying here. If you are experiencing no happiness on earth every single day then what makes the lack of anything a worse option? We always talk about potential but never about the potential for things to stay the same or get worse even if that's how it's been for a long amount of years. Just...someone, if you can, I just wish someone could guide me to this answer, reasons why it's important or desirable or even logical to stay.

ReplyI wish the world could show you. Honestly, life itself is weird. Why are we even here? How can any shape of life even exist? But that's the wonder, the bitter sweet of not knowing. We all are here existing, trying to make a living. Trying to fit in the world we came to without even knowing and suddenly it was our normal. Life itself is a big word, because we can't even grasp why we are here. I believe we all are just trying, trying to figure out life as time pass by. Isn't it a wonder, how we can grow up throughout the years and age, meeting so many people and only getting to know a few. Everyone so the same but still so different, with different experiences. Life is beautiful, not only the experiences but also the life of nature. We don't know how and why we are here, so why not live life the best way we can then? Live, experience different things, meet people, love, laugh, even crying itself can be so bitter sweet. Don't take life too granted, because even though we don't understand it, we have chance to just do anything. Why waste an opportunity in life? In the end, we all have the same destination. Why not make the most of it? Do everything we can, live and try new things. Meet people, love people, hate people, cherish people. Suicide doesn't only rob you of an opportunity to truly explore and learn things, but it also affects the people around you. You leave people behind, give them pain of missing you. Even a death of a stranger can affect people. Your life matters. Your life should not be wasted. We all have the same destination in the end, you only have one life. Why waste it?
Life can be so beautiful if you just keep giving it a chance. You never know how happy you can be in life, if you never truly give it a chance. Giving up will only rob you of a life you could have had. A life that could be good.
ReplyIt effects every other life around those who decide to off themselves. Could possibly effect ones eternal destiny too. I really hope you see how valuable and wonderful of a human being you are and see there are plenty of reasons to stay in this life. We need you here please stay friend. Sometimes you have to make your own happiness. Don't mean it won't come just because you're unhappy now. Hold on and stay strong. Im rooting for you.
ReplyA sheet of paper doesn't have much value, but once someone writes a heartfelt message on it or paints a picture on it, it has emotional significance to that person so it shouldn't be destroyed. And just like a painting proves that there's a painter because papers don't paint themselves, the earth and all of us people are evidence of God. All people have emotional significance to God, and that means we're all valuable. God put each of us on this Earth for a purpose and if He's going to call each of us home when He's ready. Taking the life of an innocent human is wrong because it hurts their loved ones and it goes against God's plan. The same thing applies to taking your own life. I'm still not sure what plans God has for me, but I find joy every day in working towards the life He wants me to have. He's a very loving and forgiving God who's always willing to listen to you.
