I think it takes GUTS to kill yourself...
... or, a severe chemical imbalance. I dunno how to explain how that causes you to kill yourself, but apparently it can. I suppose I don't have
that specific chemical imbalance since I haven't got the guts to kill myself.
I admit that there have been times where I wanted to.
I feel bad for those people who attempt suicide and it doesn't work and they end up with some kind of medical problem or deformity. Like, I heard about this guy who tried to shoot his head off - it didn't kill him, but he's missing part of his head!
THAT would just make me want to finish the job even more!!!
But to kill yourself and actually die... that's an enormous and unbelieveable accomplishment.
DEATH is
DEATH! YOU are DEAD!!!
You no longer have a body, you're no longer conscious... YOU WILL NEVER AGAIN BE YOU. YOU LIFE IS HISTORY! Everyone you ever knew is GONE! Family members - WIPED OUT! Not your family anymore! To those still alive, yeah, you were somebody to them, but
You. Are. Dead. If there isn't an afterlife, it's like
your life never happened and never mattered. Actually, if there's no afterlife, it's like that for everyone, regardless of how you die. But suicide... that's taking time away from the life you just randomly got.
You are saying NO to
everything!
It's over! IT'S ALL GONE!!!!!!
The truth is... life changes all the time. You lose things all the time. You might be date a terrific lady for 2 years, DUMP HER, and
never see her again!!!!! It's like she died!!!!
You might be vacationing somewhere and see a
REALLY HOT GUY... he's like a God... and oh! He gets naked. You stare at his naked body for a full ten minutes. Then, whoops, you're late for meeting your girlfriend, Sasha, at the zoo! Gotta run!
You might never see that really hot, naked man again! It'll be like he died!!!!! YOU BLEW IT!!!!! You had your chance to express your true homosexual self and try to date this hot, naked guy so you can get rid of Sasha
ONCE AND FOR ALL but you didn't, you're back with Sasha, the naked hot guy is long gone and you'll NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN. It's like he died!!!!
My point is we all make choices in life - suicide or no suicide - and we still create BIG losses.
Suicide is a big choice, but if you're sure you want out of the world, it's just a choice.
HOWEVER, with that said, I think that people should definitely try to convince people to stay alive. I think life could always turn around...
We need to let people know that we love them.
And that's all I'm gonna say.
