Suicide is an act of self-preservation. It is the attempted homicide of a damaged part of the psyche. Unfortunately it doesn't work since the psyche follows you into the next plane of existence.

well for me personally, i wouldnt kill myself if all i had was even one loving relationship. suicide would be an option for me only if i really had nothing. and i mean nothing. because i honestly think that if i had noone, i would just sell everything i have and live a nomadic life roaming the streets and forests of this continent. i could still have happiness with that. now if i had no relationships and say i lost my legs or arms, then i think id probably off myself.

I always read the title as "suicide shellfish??" which intrigues me every time lol
as for the actual topic, I'd have to say that suicide appears pretty self-centered but in my opinion they
must have reasons and if they would rather not exist it's their right

Wow, old topic.
Anywho, what's the difference between someone commiting suicide and moving across the world never to speak to his/her friends & family ever again. What if that someone moved far away, never spoke to anyone from their place of origin, died soon after, but the people in their place of origin found out 10 years later. They would be equally devastated.
I'm pretty sure it's the ol' Icelander death anxiety and the people who really are scared about what's to come with death freak out when people commit suicide or die in general. All the stories of deeply religious folks who had friends or family die act like it's any other event in life.
If you don't believe there's anything after death then it might seem kind of shitty that someone would off themselves, but who cares about that either? In that view we're just some blob of neurons and other cells, why should we necessarily care about other people (and how they'll react to our death)? Why would you get upset instead of just living up your one and only life?

Nice to see somebodies listening.

suicide is selfish but it's also selfish of other people for them to not want you to die... |
