NO. And this comes from a very close experience. It is very hard to explain. When I was in a suicidal state, I no longer was in reality. My surroundings were gone. All I felt was mental anguish. I was no longer in a state of mine of making any rationale decisions. Like for example, what would happen to my family or friends. All you know is that moment.
No. All they needed was a little TLC, and we were too scared to give it to them.
how would killing themselves make them selfish?
I don't know what the PC one is, but you really shouldn't TELL people what response they are allowed to give!
It is hard because it is of course a very selfish thing to do, no person who really wants to kill themselves is thinking about others. I have known of quite a few people who have killed themselves, and most of them were people who had people who cared about them, or one who had a 4 year old.
But... I do believe that ultimately we should have that choice. I plan to end my life on my own terms as I don't want to end up like my g'ma - mad as a banana and incontinent.
But I will go to at least 80 I should think.
It really is true that the vast majority of people who think about it don't really want to do it.
I've heard that said a lot of times, because their death usually causes a great deal of grief to loved ones. But no, I don't think they're being selfish - by the time a person is at a point where they take their own life, they're pretty depressed. They're ill. If they thought there was any other way, they'd take it.
Yes, absolutely. No, mistake about it.
Nobody benefits from suicide but the dead person, even that is in doubts. They are only escaping from responsibilities or to punish somebody other than himself.
I think that people who judge them are selfish. People who havn't done it themselves dont understand how it feels to really believe that your life is so terrible and irreversable that the only solution is to kill yourself. I'm not talking about drama queens who say they will for attention, I'm talking about people who really need help. It seems selfish because they are hurting so many others, but maybe if those others weren't selfish in not seeing the signs and trying to help, suicide wouldn't even come to the person's mind.
I think that the people who comit suicide, is either being ignored, not thinking about jesus, that hurts him seeing people do that to themselves, and just plain crazy, just think of how thier families feel about that, I am sure that they are scared, I would be to.
i don't think they're selfish, on the contrary they probably care much more about what other ppl do or think than they do about themselves. Clearly they have the smallest degree of respect for themselves, perhaps even self loathing and they do themselves the ultimate injustice by not giving themselves a chance -which is probably what they accuse other ppl of-.
No, I don't think people who commit suicide are selfish. When people feel like they just need to escape and have no where to go so they choose to kill themselves. Sure, it's not the best choice but if they honestly can't live anymore then it's something they had to do to be happy.
When I am missing my friends who have done this then I sometimes do think they were selfish but then when my mum died I got angry at her too and she died of an illness that was beyond her control so I think that is just the bitterness of grief talking. Honestly I think that most people who commit suicide are not selfish. Some of them are in a place where they honestly believe that either no one would miss them or that people would be better off without them. In that case, although they may be misguided they are not acting selfishly. In the case where they are dying of something they are probably thinking to spare their loved ones seeing them deteriorate and in pain as much as themselves, so still not really selfish. Other times they are suffering so much it is not possible for them to judge or guess how they feel, never mind other people. So again I would not really say it was selfish. In many cases people are suicidal due to a mental illness. We wouldn't say someone with cancer was selfish if their illness kills them, so why is someone who has severe depression or something like that selfish for an act which was caused by their illness? It is horrible for the people left behind, I know that from first hand experience, but I think we can take the act of suicide too personally as we miss those who are gone and blame them for taking themselves away from us, when the truth is that if they felt they had any other choice they would probably have taken it. This is just my opinion though, based both on my having attempted suicide years ago and also having lost three people I care deeply about this way.
Yes, it is the person being so wrapped up in their own pain that they cannot look beyond their own problems. When you kill yourself your pain ends but everyone around you goes into the same pain you were in if not worse, because knowing a person who killed themselves your are likely to blame yourself reguardless of what any suicide note might say.
No.
No. Just hopeless.
Yes because they're not thinking about others. What if they have a daughter or son or wife or husband that was left behind because they committed suicide? What they are just thinking is killing themselves. They're not thinking about the people who love them and the people they love.
Suicide is a sad deal for everyone. There would be no reason in my book to EVER think of the act as "selfish". One could be angry that a suicide took place but the anger shouldn't be (directed) at the deceased, but at the result (of).
A suicidal person is lost and feels that this is the only way out. *though some may do so, as a way to hurt someone else; studies show that more commit suicide as a way to escape what they feel they can't resolve. Much like a drug/alcohol addiction; they must have times that they "wish" they could stop and "fix" their lives, but it's an illness that they can't cure on their own, without help. And unless a person is REMOVED from the lifestyle, the change is usually almost impossible, even with help.
Someone that JUDGES others for their addictions, illnesses, fears, problems, or shortcomings, are the ones that are selfish and blatantly wrong to do so.
Not intended to be "politically" anything. Just my feelings on the subject.
