Is suicide the best option?

[coolcoinz]

There's physical strength and there's mental strength. Sometimes a heavy steel beam falls on a construction worker and he can't lift it, he can't move. Think of a suicidal person like they have a heavy burden and can't move on their own. They can ask for help or give up, stop struggling and get crushed. We all have different weights that we can lift and our minds also can take different amounts of pounding.
It's never the best option but if you get a mix of a weak mind with no friends who can help, you often get suicidal thoughts.

Often we don't see the healing, because people don't have faith.

That's a typical explanation by people who are religious. If you don't see it, you don't have faith. If you prayed and nothing happened you did not have enough faith or you weren't praying hard enough.
In other words, if you pray for your child to live and it dies, it's not that God doesn't exist, it's your fault. You did not have faith.

I hate religious people's views regarding suicide and death. It was either God's will or your fault for not being religious enough. Despite that, since OP started a pretty sensitive subject, has any of you lost someone close to suicide?

A few years ago, my English teacher committed suicide, we spent 3 years having English lessons as a teenager, including summer sessions during my last year of my Proficiency certificate. He always looked so cheerful, could have never imaged that he'd do something like this. He was always dressed neatly and had a great personality and style, nothing could possibly foresee that in reality, he was suffering. The last time I saw him was during my first year in university, a year later, he suicided.

But that is exactly it. With sufficient faith anything can be done.

Jesus told his disciples that if they had faith as small as a grain of mustard seed, they could tell a mulberry tree to be uprooted and be planted in the sea, and it would be done. A mustard seed is quite small. But releasing the nuclear energy bound up in a single mustard seed would make a gigantic explosion.

Fortunately for Christians, God realizes how weak their faith is, and works with them for their benefit even though they have such weak faith.

Suicide is never an option , commiting suicide means one is weak. Their is no problem or situation that is worth a person taking his/her life. In life their is hope always hope and no problem is permanent.  People need to learn that in life we have hard time and good time. Causing suicide is putting love ones and family in pain.

I agree with you on many points. But let me ask you about some situations in which suicide might seem a reasonable option:

- Have you heard of euthanasia? When a person chooses to end his life because he cannot bear the pain of the disease that will inevitably lead to his life. It is true that doctors are the ones who do this, but it is at the request of the sick person, meaning that it is suicide.

- There are cases of oppression and persecution that a person experiences, and he cannot do anything about them except to end his life. In my country, women live in situations of injustice and persecution, and they cannot prove their rights even by law. Is suicide better than continuing to suffer?

- Likewise, cases of addiction for which there is no solution, the addict in a moment decides to stop the bleeding, especially if what he is doing is harmful to those around him.

What do you think of these examples?

Suicide is not the greatest course of action because you are doing it because something was wrong. You're being foolish by trying to escape your difficulties. Because suicide is not supported by any religion, committing suicide means that you have lost everything.

Suicide is never a option.  Think about your loved ones before taking that horrible plunge.

This is a case of sickness or disease which can end up take the life of this person,  and if such person ends up in death atleast their is a reason that can be pointed out for cause of death.

- There are cases of oppression and persecution that a person experiences, and he cannot do anything about them except to end his life. In my country, women live in situations of injustice and persecution, and they cannot prove their rights even by law. Is suicide better than continuing to suffer?

If all the the women keep commiting suicide be of what they face in their country it will not stop or solve injustice and it will keep on continuing that way. I know it is not easy to fight for right,  but it is better to fight for justice to make sure justice take place even if it cause death than killing one's self.

- Likewise, cases of addiction for which there is no solution, the addict in a moment decides to stop the bleeding, especially if what he is doing is harmful to those around him.

Their are many ways in handling addiction,  suicide is never an option to addiction. Suicide maybe the only option to one who is weak and does not know how to handle the problem of addiction.

Euthanasia is similar but not identical to suicide, it has a whole different purpose and meaning. I'm not against it in cases of severe health issues, in which people are clearly suffering. Some instances include, being in a coma for years or facing incurable diseases, with no signs of recovery, falling into a vegetative state and so on. Only a number of countries have legalized euthanasia, including Switzerland, Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Luxembourg, Canada, Colombia, Australia, France, New Zealand and 10 states of the USA, with France and New Zealand being new additions to the list (2020-2021).

Suicide is the most worst option. Suicide is actually a state of hopeless & mind weakness. Once a man see no physical means or options to fulfill his wish, whatever is it then he starts thinking negatively i.e towards Suicide. Euthanasia is an exceptional case, even it is also not a good decision but May be it's ratio is too low than normal suicide cases. In modern age, anxiety & depression causes increase in suicide cases.

[Mometaskers]

Thankfully it hasn't caught on in most countries. I did heard about one Pacific island where there was a suicide epidemic among teens many years ago.

Thing is, it only makes things worse for the people you are leaving behind so it's not something you should do if you love them. Even if you feel they don't love you, then it also don't make sense to suicide. If they somehow finally see your value, then you wouldn't be there to feel that love. And if they really dgaf about you, then your death meant nothing. Whichever way you look at it, you're the only one losing.

It actually take a fair amount of courage to delete yourself from existence, albeit it's misplaced courage. Might as well have redirected that into continuing your battle.

[Coyster]

The question here is, how can we stop this from becoming a norm?

The thing is, there is nothing you and i (that's if we aren't suicidal), and any other person who doesn't have the thought of killing themselves can do about it, the only people that can stop it from happening are those who are suicidal, those who have the thoughts of taking their own life, you know it all starts from the mind, so if they can open up and speak to someone about their problems, seek counselling and spend time around people they love, then they can get over their problems and start enjoying life again, only they can stop this from being a norm, people just have to open up.

If suicide is categorized as a cowardly decision, how can Euthanasia be classified? Could you be a brave decision?
The same example applies to a soldier in the war who decided to blow himself up with a bomb when the enemy approaches him, after finding himself unable to escape, and they will kill him anyway. I remember ISIS fighters blowing themselves up in battles, and the organization uses these suicide bombers as a weapon against anyone who disagrees with them.

The same scenario applies to a soldier in a war who decides to self-destruct with a bomb when the enemy approaches him and he is unable to flee; he will be killed anyhow. I recall ISIS combatants detonating themselves in combat, and the group employs suicide bombers as a weapon against anyone who disagrees with them.

[Mr.right85]

My counter question the above quote of which, I wish to let every individual with a suicidal thought understand is,

What issues do you solve by being suicidal or committing suicide?
Did they really escape the injustice and sufferings of the world by commenting suicide?

The world cares very little if you live or die (it's that cold the world we live in). Especially looking at the circumstances that leads to one's death and the achievements or values one most have done for society.
There is no room for suicide, its not a solution!

[P2PECS]

The question here is, how can we stop this from becoming a norm?

I find the question a bit of a joke to be honest.

Nothing can be done, when someone commits suicide it is usually because they are desperate and no measure like education in schools is going to prevent that. I tell you this having known two close cases.

What would be effective against that is not going to happen. In societies where people don't have enough to eat, and spend every day trying to survive, suicide rates are practically unknown. It is when people have a secure life that they start worrying about other things and suicide increases. Not to mention pseudo-suicidal behaviors, such as getting up to your ass in drugs and climbing the railing of the top floor of a skyscraper to take a cool picture and upload it to Instagram.

[Smartvirus]

If the few that have followed a suicidal path and actually committed the irreversible have a chance to tell the story of there experience, I out it would he anything short of regrets. Regrets as to why they shouldn't have made such a choice, how naive and poorly informed they were, how life could have meant more, should they have learned how to make good decisions bit sadly, the act is irreversible and once your pronounced dead, your gone forever.

If you've ever thought of committing suicide, I want yiu to know that, the world we live in is so beautiful to miss. Fight that urge knowing that, there is nothing in it for you. No premier league, no good dishes, no parties and ladies to hang with, no luxurious stuff, no vacations at the beach, no cool houses and stiss like that. Just you in between space and time. Existing in a vacuum if I can call that existence supposing you do at all.

Life is good! Live it and love it. (Brand lines from LG and Gotv).

[SEEEP ZEEBOLOGI]

It's not like they suicide because they like it, sure it's not the best option, the best option i think to help them surrely they are need help asap the question is did anyone really help them? everone always saying everyting will get better or you will go through it because i'm so, sure life is full of pain, the question is did they suffering have meaning? if not then what the poin they are suffer? life it's nonsense and absurd, If someone can't find happyness in living then let them rest for the pain and sufering they feel.

If someone suicide then thats mean somehig wrong with people around them, that in my opinion.

[Adbitco]

Can we say laziness, is one major things that affects lives, I believe there are body's who gone through those hardship even more than what others have passed through life. Life is just a matter of determination and being focused, I would have loved to share my own sides of my story but I can't just say it all because faith and believe made me scale up till date.

Yes we all knows our educational system to be worse than every other third to fourth country are today.
I never took my life or go for robbery but instead was focused to bring down all manner of prides and started selling sachet water to sustain myself through my school days.

I will advise you, try read harder and make research about your field instead hoping to go sort the lecturer or using because of the challenges and took your life or that of others
