Suicide

[gogxmagog]

suicide is always a bad move. dont do it. there are always people who care about you even if you cant see. besides, you never know what tomorrow might bring.

they have polled suicide attempts who did not die and almost all of them said they acted in a moment of darkness, but were glad to be alive.

wait it out. you're going to be ok

I think that it is selfish under certain circumstances; they didn't tell anyone about their problems, and didn't offer anyone a chance to help them. This could make the parents or friends blame themselves for not seeing the problem. This could lead to a cluster suicide. I think that it isn't selfish and just their choice if they have tried everything they could. I don't support suicide at all.

KARACHI: “All is fair in love and war” – a popular saying had its practical implication when a teenage schoolboy in Karachi committed suicide after his parents allegedly refused love-marriage.

This bloke shot the girl he was in love with and then shot himself.
The murder should be making headlines, not the suicide. 

I didn't get your point. Can you elaborate it ?

Natural selection at work.

Natural selection at work.

It is not just in the genes.
A lot more factors are at work in suicide - stress levels, financial problems, etc.

That said, the OP talks about aged people fasting to death. No natural selection taking place there

Suicide is a horrible thing, and we as a community need to step up and help people. If we could help our family, our friends, our neighbours, co-workers, classmates, etc. when they need, and we show love, compassion and sympathy, we can make the world a better place.

Natural selection at work.

I am not so sure about it. Most of the people who commit suicide are young men or women of working age, with sufficient education and skills. Poor illiterate people seldom commit suicide. Death from drug addiction and alcoholism is natural selection. But death from suicide is not so. Suicide mostly affect those people who contribute to the society.
