Your thoughts on suicide.

[thenoob]

Well its like anything else
e-bay screws me over so I never shop at e-bay again
why support something you don't believe in?
I do have this 'nurture' aspect in my personality, and I feel a difference between my physical urges to make money, spread kids and grandkids while my mind just sighs
and usually the body wins... staring death in the face is scarier than thinking about it. so I don't know if I really have the capability of doing it, maybe my planning is just cathartic, but luckily I have a very peaceful end if I do decide it.

But I don't really see it as self-righteous, or helping to save the population. The poor and dumb always have more kids than the richer people, and corruption just gets worst and worst... so we're screwed whether or not I end it all... though I suppose if all depressed people are given the option to, and end up committing suicide, the world would be cleansed of depression

Life is a wonderful illusion. It is created for/by us. When there is a true understanding of that, there's little that can sway a person's will towards death. Even during the crappiest moments, the understanding of what's going on turns into a learning experience. It's not "happiness" or "joy", but a deep understanding that surpasses emotions. It can't be described, only experienced. It's simpler and easier than most think.

Don't take life so seriously. Pain is a part of it. Getting past the pain is too.

Yes, very true El
I am planning my own suicide for the fall / late summer.
It's much harder than anyone thinks. You can't just end it all. It takes lots of research and will, just like anything else.

Could your life be so hopeless that you see no other way to straighten things out?

Because one thing I've learned is that I'm here for a reason. If I don't get myself straightened out in this reality, then I will eventually have to deal with it in another. To me, suicide is an abrogation of responsibility. In my heart, I just don't feel that it can make things better.
