Because he doesn't have necrophilia.

it's usually because you're dealing with a fucked up and chronic mental illness and you'd prefer not waiting for all of those ~possibilities~ and watching them get fucked up because of your illness. it's not a very difficult concept to grasp, but i guess it's kinda abstract if you haven't dealt with it personally
people also do it because they just found out they have an illness that's going to kill them in a slow and painful way, or because their whole life just fell apart for some reason (often financial difficulties) and they can't fix it etc etc etc

I forgot to rule out clinical depression.
And I am pretty sure I know why people attempt to commit suicide but that doesn't change my mind about it. Financial problems? yeah let's die, there is no way in hell things are going to get better. Oh, what is this, I am sick and i am going to die in a few years, maybe i should die now instead of giving medicine a chance to advance and maybe find a cure for my illness, there is nothing in life that i can think of doing before I die, I've done everything there is to do so i better die now.
I guess it's about your personality in the end, if you'd rather escape because you're overwhelmed by problems than try to solve them, then yeah, kill yourself.

If you're dead you can't feel anything, experience anything, can't do anything or change anything. You're just....Dead.

I prefer to be alive and suffering, than dead.

"You weak piece of shit, how can you let yourself be crushed into nothingness, If you cannot rise for yourself, So do it for /me/, Do it for /my sake/, That's the very least you can do."

Every fucking step I think I'm taking in the right direction to turn this person's depression around is met with complete and utter resistance. I think I'm starting to make headway and finally pull them out then I get shit like "It just confirms everything I was thinking. At least I know for certain now that no one really gives a fuck about my existence".

I'm not giving up, damnit.

If you have literally nothing like for example all your loved ones + people who cared for you are dead, then you have the right to suicide.

However, if there are people who really care for you and you suicide, then I would considered that selfish and pathetic because you are causing suffering for them.

Freiya said:
It takes balls. Other than that, it's selfish and bear in mind that things can't get better if you're dead.

CondemneDio said:
Not enough people do it.

Latent said:
Only on MAL™ would putting a 12 gauge in your mouth and aiming down be considered a "cowardly" act.

Suicide is the easy way out and will hurt people around you. It should be punished with deah.

It's easy to keep going.

Funny I came across this topic. I just finished watching the Suicide Room the other day, and the ending really made me think.

There's always the possibility that things will get better. It may not be right away, but I think it's worth waiting until that moment. I can't blame suicide victims of being selfish because I can understand that their feelings must be suffocating and unbearable. They want to bring an end to their pain but I think that most of all they just want to be happy. I feel sad that they'll never know if life could've gotten better.

Be happy that they never stuck around for things to get worse.

no one should think about suicide,everything will get better in the end

Hope, both a pretty dream and an abominable curse.

SilverMuse said:


That's a pessimistic and defeatist way of thinking. >.< Even if things did get worse, that doesn't mean things will never get better.

TheBrainintheJar said:


But they can also get worse.

You don't know unless you look at each case individually. Don't you think in some cases it's better to die than continue living a terrible, unfulfilling life?

SilverMuse said:


When the person is suffering from a terrible incurable illness is the only point in time when I think that suicide is an option.

I'm not denying that things might get worse, but my point is you just never know. Better to have lived and tried than not tried at all. I think of all the kids in school who have committed suicide due to bullying. Don't you think things would've changed after they graduated and people grew up a little?

TheBrainintheJar said:


So what if things could change? They will have to live with those memories forever. They will live with social anxiety, terrible social skills, depression and will probably be disliked by most people. Why live then?

A person has the fundamental right to die. Without the right to die there is no right to live. The idea that everyone's life is worth living based on your good life is arrogant.
