Topic	What are your thoughts on suicide?
FarmDog 01/16/21 6:05:04 PM #70:	wolfy42 posted... If your living with chronic illness and pain it can quite certainly get worse, in fact you can eventually lose the ability to choose for yourself, be mobile etc. Things don't always bounce back, they don't always get better. Maybe it has for you, maybe it does for many, but you can't be sure that is the case or will be the case for everyone, or that everyone would even care if it did. Well yeah, having chronic illness itll get worse over time and suicide should be an option. Preferably assisted suicide if available. Why do people feel the need to dictate if a person should live or not, should that not be up to the individual? I get trying to ensure nobody makes sudden decisions because a GF dumpted them, or they lost a pagent, or got fired from a job etc. That 100% makes sense, but if a person, over a significant period of time, wants to cease to exist, why should we be able to say "No!! You must live!!!" Because its a phase even if its for years. When youre at the bottom your mindset is plagued and youre a pessimist. If you keep pushing there will be a spark of light at some point. You have to submit to the misery and roll with it until the spark of light comes. Life should be lived for a variety of reasons including enjoyment, making a difference in the world, family, accomplishments and growth in a career etc. If those have become.....impossible, and you feel like you can no longer make a positive difference in the world/society etc, if you don't actually have a purpose in life, and are in pain, emotional or otherwise, the choice of your continued existence should be totally and completely up to you, and while I don't think we should encourage others to off themselves, I think creating laws that make it hard for them to do so, locking them up if they attempt it etc, is wrong as well. Life is different for everyone. You dont have to follow those rules about being successful in life. You dont have to be like everyone else. Its a long complex subject to talk about. --- Please donate to one :) oceana.org \| bestfriends.org \| onetreeplanted.org \| saveafox.org <cite>FarmDog posted [p:949577626] in What are y...
