hey simple question mayb hard answer

is suicide selfish

tomterm8

yes, suicide is entirely selfish, and in almost all circumstances unnecessary. it causes untold pain and hardship to the people who love you, and generally harms the world to a very great extent.

People who are having suicidal thoughts should go to their doctors. These days, almost all depression is treatable, and most is curable.

YESSSSSS it's a perminent solution to a temporary problem.. Always know that.. think about the poor family that is left behind that have to pick up the pieces.. Everyone should work out their problems and not "give up"... and thinking "it will makes things easier for my family if i just die" is the most incorrect statement ever, it will only cause more pain and turmoil then you can ever imagine.

Yes, it is a selfish thing to do. But some people go ahead and do it anyway. They will just have to come back in another life and do it all over again unfortunately.

I see it as being selfish because you put your loved ones through the heartache of knowing they will never be able to spend another good time with you. Suicide puts them through emotional grief they do not need. If you have children they often blame their selves.
Others feel guilty about what they coulda, shoulda and woulda done different if they had only known you were having problems to lead to that.

Suicide is selfish if you believe that you are responsible for the well being of all those you affect. All those people left behind are left wondering if there was something they could have done. Is their mourning selfish? Are feelings selfish?

Yet, as involved as we are with others, it is not our job to make them happy, or keep them from dying. We are here to make choices. Some choose to die, this time. Some choose to live, this time. None of them are guilty of exercising their own free will. No, I don't believe it is selfish. It is merely a choice.

But then, I do not believe that there is such a thing as death, there is only change.

Yes and no.

Suicide is selfish in a way that you are wrecking the lives that surround you and the people that love you.

That you are escaping your life and cheating yourself out of good times and good lessons.

Suicide is not selfish because one cannot be expected to live with unbearable emotional or physical pain.In that case others are selfish.

*Most* of the time however, these feelings can be reversed and released.All you have to do is have hope and try.One may feel that there is no answer and everyone is blind to their pain, but that simply is not true.

My Uncle committed suiced almost 25 years ago, he hung himself in the basement and left his suicide note on his 13 year old daughters bed. Of course in the note he stated where he had hung himself, she ran downstairs in hopes that she could save him, but it was too late. To this day she does not forgive him, either do his other two daughters, and after seeing the pain that those girls went through I don't blame them.

Yes suicide is selfish, it is the most selfish act imaginable. Instead of talking to people about their feelings or seeking help for their depression or problems, they take the easy way out, leaving lasting scars on everyone who loved them for the rest of their lives.

Self-centered and selfish, the ultimate selfish act, just below murdering someone else. For some reason, it seems to be unpredictable.

Altenweg

Unpredictable yes, until the person commits the act, or so it seems. After my Uncle killed himself all of a sudden everyone was remembering things that might have pointed to that outcome. A little to late, but it's not their fault anyway, if the person doesn't ask for help, then how is anyone supposed to help?

Ultimate selfish act, you are so right.
