When you have no will to live?
When you know that you will never find a will to live?
When there's no longer anything left to live for?
When life is only only suffering?
All of the above?

Curious.

There's no static point where one considers it's time to commit suicide.
It's just something a person thinks of at certain points throughout his depression.
One can feel it's time to commit suicide after a failed math test like that Japanese kid not too long ago.
There shouldn't be some point where it's understandable why one wants to kill themselves.
People are depressed for different reasons, some have a shit life, some are bored of their lonely life, and some are just clinically depressed because they carry a gene that predisposes them to it.
At almost no point should a person take their own life. I only think that very old, sick and people in a lot of pain that's never going away should have a right at assisted suicide but that's it.

Few years ago I wrote article about suicide in literature. My final decision, that I still agree with, was that it is never a good idea, unless it can help to save someone/something that you value more than your life.

Some people would do anything to live longer. Kids die in the world all the time, they haven't experienced anything. Personally think it's horrible to think people throw life away. Life can be pretty shit but a lot of great things are taken for granted. Some are living through a lot worse. There's always something worth living for. Always.

Surprise, Life is all about suffering. That's what makes it great. If you don't have a single sadist or masochist tendency, then it's all pointless.

I have yet to run into someone that doesn't have one of the above. It's unlikely you'll be the exception to the rule. You need to stop looking outward and start looking inward for what gives you purpose.

And if you think a constant high or even consistent happiness is a purpose, you are sorely missing the point of existence.

Depends on each person I guess, though it always starts with the feeling of no worth/worthlessness and then depression. Others don't get in the point of depression, since sometimes their friends or family helps them in a way to recover, but if ignored that's gonna escalate...

I guess ppl don't really consider to end their life if its miserable, I think there's more factors that affects it, but that might certainly be a big factor...

The lack of purpose to existence itself can be a despair inducing topic to those unable to comfort themselves with the opiate of the masses. Besides that, life is just want and fluff, no?

When your means of battling/will to live completely fades, suicide is fine.

It's not selfish, no one should have to endure an everyday pain that isn't getting better in any way. The only guilt you would have, is wasting your parents time and money, sometimes even if they are abusive.

I do think of committing a suicide every now and then but I think I will still try to live as much as I can no matter how depressing my life is.

But...maybe, if I were raped then I might consider killing myself
or if for example..I am in a situation where I might get tortured or rape or both...then I will kill myself right then and there.

Never.

There was a documentary one time I watched either on youtube or TV about a female tourist who got tricked and captured by one of those 3rd world guerilla warfare faction/groups (you get the gist) and being held captive for ransom for a hefty amount. It eventually led her to be held captive for several years and basically being raped daily by several men. At one point she explained making a very logical and level-headed decision to commit suicide when she go the chance. Long story short she's free now and was giving this interview at home. I remember thinking in that kind of situation, suicide could be an option, but honestly I still don't think I would go through with it.

Extreme situations calls for extreme measures, like hypothetically for example 9/11. You're stuck in the tower. Do you commit suicide by jumping off? or do you stay put. I can't say.

Thankfully I've never been in a dire situation like that. But all in all I wouldn't advise anyone to consider suicide, nor would I tell myself to.

yeah honestly i can't say for most it's much of a "conscious" decision either. in terms of suicidal depression there's a time when it sort of thinks for you. the one time i had attempted suicide i almost didn't realize what i was doing until i was caught. it also really screws with you so don't do it. suicide fuckin sucks. i make a lot of jokes about it but that's more of a way to make some light of a shite situation i guess.

idk im probably just rambling at this point. if anybody feels that way feel free to pm me or whatever. i dont know any of you but i bet you i still care, even if nobody else seems to. <3

His explanation was asking to be misinterpreted (if I understood him correctly). :^)
I think he means something like this (@thebraininthejar):

All animals are emotionally bound to life, it’s the bedrock principle by which everything else functions and develops. Life is a sisyphean journey written by the constant need to appease different aches of an unquenchable state of insatiability. Consider how pain is a better motivator than gratification, or how false negatives are more dire than false positives. It follows then: were people not chained to life, taking it would be the logical conclusion.
_______________

Except, why even ponder this? It would, after all, be unreasonably ideological to assess life on the basis of what could have been, instead of what is. You accept reality and play the hand you were dealt to the best of your abilities. That implies adopting a more positive posture. Anything else is irrational, woe is me hardly helps.


Why do people have to play the hand they're dealt with? Do you say the same thing to a woman who wants to leave her violent husband?

Suicide is rational if you don't want to play that hand.

Accepting something solely because of our gene programming is irrational. It means you used little critical thought. You cannot explain why your life is worthy to you. You can only regurgitate your genes' desire to reproduce.

I personally can't see myself ever considering suicide. Life's too precious and too short even. But then again it is because of the kind of life I'm blessed enough to live that I'm able to think the way I currently do. If, let's say, I were living in constant suffering (especially for a long time), then.... who knows. My way of thinking and opinion on suicide might be different.

Undoubtedly. But that's a strawman. Our genes have a singular direction and how rational that direction is really just depends on the situation (rape, for example, is irrational even though lust is ingrained in all of us). My argument is much more subtle: There is no such thing which is absolutely irrational. Your argument is this: Obeying genes is irrational.

It's clear who has more explaining to do. Besides, @Daconator already clarified on many points. Try taking his perspective and seeing the reason therein.

How is rape always irrational? We're not talking about ethics, by the way.

I'm not saying obeying your genes is irrational - although perhaps the implication is there. I'll rephrase. Wanting to live, in and of itself, isn't rational. By that, I don't mean it's irrational but mere wanting to live doesn't come with 'rationality'. Some people have their reasons to stay alive. Others just don't think.

Suicide is rational if you don't want to play that hand.
It's only rational if besides not wanting to play that hand, you are also able to throw it away.
My previous post has the answers to those questions so you can just reread it.


Suicide is difficult. There is no guide how to kill yourself that's easily available.

You didn't answer why someone must live with the hands they were dealt with.

I'd say these two must be present to some major extent—not to the exclusion of all else, but to the point that it is difficult to find anything else. There may be something left to live for, but if you're struggling to think of something, something needs to change in a big way, and suicide is a way to change it. Similarly, if your life is overwhelmed by suffering to the extent that the brief moments of pleasantness are all but wiped from memory, there needs to be a change.

I considered suicide in two instances: when I was severely depressed, and when I was in extreme pain to the extent that I had trouble thinking of anything else. When one of those two things becomes your entire world, you have to do something, and often the only thing that comes to mind is suicide. The urge to act gets twisted into an intent to cause oneself harm, purely to escape the madness that is the pain itself. In both of those cases, I was willing to do very nearly anything to alleviate the pain; in that circumstance, I can see suicide being a reasonable option, because looking far ahead, to a time when that pain will be gone, becomes entirely impossible.

Obviously, the general advice is, "never kill yourself," but that in itself is a shortsighted and ignorant view. There are times when suicide is the only solution a person can come up with, and more people need to be able to respect that, even if they still attempt to help that individual—I would rather die than be high on painkillers or narcotics for my entire life, and I think that should make sense to most reasonable individuals; if I'm simply a drain on society, what is my worth?
