You can only vote on one answer.

Why do people consider Suicide wrong? Or otherwise treat it like a sickness and bad thing. I don’t think it always is.

This isn’t a disease although most things that end in death are considered a disease or injury.
This is me standing up for what I truly want and believe , who I am.
I don’t want to play this game. Games are elective and I do not consent.
I wish I was never born, or Someone or thing should have stopped me before I reproduced. I so want to check out but can’t without my kids blessing. I truly wish they would all just say “it’s ok. You can go we’ll be fine.”

I want permission to be suicidal or better yet permission to be dead. Thanks

Maybe I’ll say I’m going on a trip…

So lets look at when suicide IS wrong...When you have responsibilities to family and loved ones and you are looking to escape them. Thats always wrong. And it makes you a coward.. And when you believe yourself to be punishing someone else by dying. Thats not just wrong. Its stupid as well. Even if does upset the intended person, you wont be there to see it..
Finally, religion has a lot to answer for here; making you believe that somehow there is a turn of the page. You have one life to live and this is it. Handle it with care. There are no refunds..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman I appreciate your thoughts, their clarity. Agree about responsibility to dependents, and having stupid reasons.
But I don’t know really what you mean about religion.
And I’d counter that many claim in near death experiences that they do see how others react as they are dying.

@Stuffy I have heard accounts of near death experiences, most of which can be accounted for by anoxia.. And I might add my own thought, that if there were another side, surely one would need to leave this side before opening the door to that one. So anything we care seeing and return to recall cant be from there.😷

Maybe it’s not like another side with a definite separation. I’ve heard some very convincing stories: spirits that leave the body, travel anywhere and come back into the body with information gained that turned out to be real. But… says who?

@Stuffy And I have seen many convincing stories on Penn & Teller. No offence meant here. But I want more proof than anecdotes of something this critical.. If Harry Houdini couldnt make it back to give us some signs, then in my book it cant be relied on. (For those unclear on the reference. Houdini promised his wife that if there were an afterlife, he would return and give her a sign. he never did..)😷

Something that trips me up- is that so many people believe it. At least it really had me for while. But now, with the recent election I have no doubt most people are totally unreliable at best.
