[QUOTE="Buddha_basic"][QUOTE="Theokhoth"]By the way, my grandmother had breast cancer twice, my grandfather had a five-way open heart bipass along with bad eyes and diabetes, my mother has had dozens of surgeries and has constant neck pain for which she takes medication, and my side always hurts due to a car accident I was in a few years ago where my ribs were shattered.
I can pull up a few personal experiences as well. We're all doing just fine.

Well i think youre assuming everyone has the same emotional capacity to handle things. Youre also assuming they have healthcare or a means of getting enough money for medication/treatment. As people get older they retire. They rely on social security. The cost of living goes up while social security goes up 60 dollars a month only. There are just too many variables for you to continue to claim that all people are able to drive down all avenues. I'm not saying youre wrong, im just saying youre naive. Suicide is not a way out. Kill yourself and life just gets harder for everyone you leave alive. Who'll pay for your funeral? Not you. Medical bills, debt? Not you. No, you'll be all relieved of your duties and relaxin' in whatever afterlife there may be, away from your problems, while everyone else deals with the crap that you considered to hard to deal with.
That is why suicide is the single most selfish thing anyone can ever do. Not only does it get rid of all your problems in a heartbeat; it passes the problems to people who don't deserve it.
Im not condonign suicide. All i am saying is its no ones decision but your own. If you want to live, live. If you want to die, die. It should be no one elses decision but your own.
And committing suicide does not require anyone else to deal with the "problems" you "left behind". Thats a concious choice made by the family/friends. A funeral in my opinion is rather pointless. Id rather be burned tossed into the air, or hell..anywhere. The most cost effective means of disposing of my body safely. A funeral is not the choice of the person who died.
Suicide is just another choice that anyone and everyone can make. Its not selfish, its not heroic. It just is. It doesnt pass any problems on to anyone other than people willing to recieve them.
