This post may be depressing but its my view on Suicide. I have wanted to commit suicide plenty of times. Sometimes its easy to think you could do it and sometimes you want to but just can't bring yourself to hurt everyone around you. Is it selfish? I would say it isn't, maybe because I have gone through it or because I have had people around me commit suicide. It is selfish of people to be mad about it. No one knows what people like this have in their head. Doing this, their worries are over. If their whole family is damaged, or if friends are feeling betrayed then it stands to reason: Where were you when this persons started to think about suicide and started planning the steps to do it? If they can push through to murder themselves, then they have much courage.
Others may say its selfish because they are a family member or friend of someone dear to them who killed themselves. They are feeling the loss of them. They ponder why could this person hurt me like this? How could they leave? They could of worked it out. Life is never that hard. They just don't understand what they were feeling. Its hard for people to understand what people go through. If you, yourself have never gone through it before. People don't know what to say or do. They think its an easy thing to get over but it isn't. Its an emotional roller coaster that never stops. You can eventually get off but you just don't have the energy because your emotions are up and down it just drains you.
You could say the person is a coward, but would you even consider stabbing a fine small needle into your finger? That itself is painful. Someone people commit suicide by cutting there wrists and bleed to death. Does that sound like a coward? That sounds like someone who is desperate, in pain, no hope/faith etc. Someone who can watch themselves bleed to death has courage, they have guts to do that. People who hang themselves are breaking their own neck, that doesn't scare them because they are already miserable with life. Someone who is not depressed feels happy or content. Think about breaking your neck? That just sounds scary. There is always the what ifs. What if it doesn't work? Well you strangle to death. What if it hurts? If you wanted to kill yourself, you wouldn't worry about the pain, you already in tons of emotional pain.
There ALWAYS is a different way though. You can get help, ask anyone you trust. Ask them to help you work through these things or ask for professional help.
"Suicide is a Permanent solution, to a Temporary problem!"
