Is suicide cowardly?

[Graziani]

Suicide is definitely not cowardly. In fact, it would take a lot of guts to do it. And also, you could be swimming in money and still be unhappy. This covers people who have terminal illnesses too. Consider this:

If your whole body was plagued with cancers caused by mesothelioma (the fucking WORST form of cancer) and already the death clock was ticking away, and the doctor said one option was to amputate one of your legs, but at the same time says, "there's no point, it's already jumped to somewhere else so cutting your leg off is pointless". My dad died from this totally fucking awful disease, a year from being diagnosed. My dad was born into a shit life and after his mother died, he finally realised he didn't have to try and please her anymore. He began to live. And for no reason, he got mesothelioma. He got the fucking ultimate booby prize. In the end, he was doped up to his eyeballs and was still in pain. He dreaded being showered and I made sure to never be there when he was showered, because he would scream and just hearing that even once would kill my soul, because I couldn't do ANYTHING to make him feel better, absolutely nothing. There was a compensation payout from James Hardie, but I would have traded all of it for him. I can remember getting completely stoned off my head before going to see him, but once I was in his room, seeing him slowly wasting away, It was like I hadn't smoked at all. My mind became completely clear. There was nothing that would make it any easier.

He pinpointed his encounter with asbestos when he was a teenager, exploring abandoned houses.

It blows my mind that the asbestos fibres he unknowingly inhaled laid dormant for so long, and then springing into life, eating away at his insides, jumping all over his body so quickly, so brutally.

Lastly, of all my relatives that have passed, only my grandmother was lucky. She died of a heart attack in her sleep.

So I have already decided...I would rather die than endure the suffering of a terminal disease or illness. Hopefully a heart attack in my sleep.

I would never want to become a burden to my friends and family. Watching someone waste away and not being able to do anything is the most horrible experience to endure.

So in summary, terminal illnesses, yes, I guess you could call me a coward.

I have been close to killing myself a few times in my life. I know of people I went to school with who had the world at their feet, but because they weren't perfect (one came out as gay and was disowned, he set his car on fire and SAT in it and burned alive, true unfortunately), another person who couldn't live up to his parent's expectations of him being "perfect". Hanged himself. And the sad thing is because he was tall, he raised his legs up. And his parents made out that he had died in a car accident - total bullshit. I found out years later, one of my best friends asked me if I went to his funeral. I said I didn't because I really hate funerals. His sister was dating the guy that hanged himself. My friend said, "there was no car accident. He killed himself and his parents were so ashamed that they lied."

Anyway, that's my 5 cents worth. Be nice to people, say hello to a total stranger, especially when you can see that they are trying hard to smile and be happy. Saying hello to someone may be the first time they have even heard it on the day you say it. Or a compliment. Everyone suffers in their own way but not everyone is good at pretending everything is going ok.

Whats up Australia,
Thats a crazy story man glad you got through. Good to see you

 

[deviant2]

Cowardly, no.
Takes a great deal of courage and commitment to pull the trigger, fasten a noose and let gravity do the rest, take that first step off a tall building...

Selfish, yeah.
For the people they left, it's a painful long road to figure out. Or try to anyway.

SELFISH AND COWARDS WAY OUT ............. LIFE IS JUST A FUCIN GAME, SOME WIN, SOME LOOSE ............

Suicide is Just an option to decide when you want to die.

 

[cacarara74874]

Neither selfish not cowardly, its just a personal decision. Some people have all the reasons to do it and still cling to life and others have no reasons and still choose to do it. I believe every human regardless of their age, situation, etc have the right to take their own life and should be offered the tools to do it in the most confortable and easy way possible without having the need of jumping from a building or throwing themselves in front of a train. Sadly considering cases like Madison Holleran, someone who had zero reasons to do it a law like that would be impossible to be approved.

 

[kaijucore]

Depends on why you do it. People who commit suicide to avoid consequence, like people who commit murder suicides, nonces, that kind of thing are cowardly through and through. But the 99% who get to such a low point that it feels like the right thing to do aren’t cowardly at all. Been there myself and labelling that mindset as cowardly would be doing it a disservice, being cowardice involves fear, and I’d wager most suicidal people are too apathetic at the end for such an emotion to even be present anymore.

 

[Racist Bastard]

Do you consider suicide to be cowardly? Ive seen such a debate on whether suicide is actually just a selfish act and cowardly or not.

Depends on alot of things. If you have kids/family that it will effect. If you're gravely ill and are going to die anyway just to end the suffering. It could go either way depending on many different circumstances.

 

[rocketman3501]

I used to think it was selfish, but now that I understand that nobody owes anyone anything, not even their presence, I can see it's just a personal decision to be made. Some people lead truly horrific lives with no sign of it improving any time soon. God knows life is an unfair fuck, so there are definitely some scenarios I can think of for which suicide would be a viable option.

 

["hoyeah"]

No. I actually think those who kill themselves are courageous.
I wished (and sometimes still wish) I had the courage to do it.
It takes a lot of strength, it's not easy.

I wouldn’t say cowardly, but definitely weak. There are people who take on life challenges head on, like terminal illness, ect. However, taking your own life over trivial things, like breakups, or loss of a job is just weak. There are lions in the wild that will fight to their last breath to eat or get what they want, imagine a lion thinking “this is too much, I’m just gonna kill myself.” These are human things, human thoughts, and how hard could your life possibly be to give up when facing adversity? Now, suicide to avoid captivity and torture, that’s different and can be debated, but those mostly ending their life are not dealing with those scenarios. Just my opinion, my take. Getting help is not weak, there are challenges you can’t always face alone.

fuck people and cowardice is a senseless concept anyway

Yep

 

[Kutokit]

No.ur assisted by demons accompanied by a sorcerer.

 

[NILIII]

No, maybe someone's life is just pure shit and they want it over with, some people are just tired of living. Most people that commit suicide probably don't have lives that bad though.

 

[smokingpoop]

only chickenshit faggots kill themselves

 

[hedgerow]

it's killing me trying to think of a response...this'll have to be it

 

[Bill Murray]

No....but it is painless and it brings on many changes. You can take or leave it if you please.

 

[SickToDeath]

Nope, nothing wrong with wanting to retire from existence early.
