a thought about suicide

[strongsmartsexy]

Suicide is such a cop out to me! It seems to be such a COWARDLY thing to do...you can't take the heat in life so you have to end it?! We ALL have problems...the point is how you learn to deal with them. Jesus died for us...if He wanted, I'm sure He could've ended it himself or got away...but there was a point to his death. & people are going to sit there & take what He did for granted?! How self-centered can you be?!

I want to hear about this at the point you're incapacitated and living in constant mind numbing pain. It's easy to cast stones of aspersion at others when your life is good, you're healthy, and your body and mind are not racked with pain and suffering. Take the time and go visit a terminal cancer ward. It's an eye opening experience.

I watched my father die as a result of systemic failure from stage 4 cancer. I sat there and fed him the morphine myself as I watched the pain wrack his unconscious body, and I watched and comforted a family who was there as well. It's a horrible way to die.

First of all, I did not refer to living with pain...that is really up to the person. I too have seen my grandfather die of cancer & it was something horrible. I was simply referring to people who have problems (debt, failure in relationships etc.) who choose to kill themselves 'cause they "don't see a way out"...that's a cop out!

You have absolutely NO CLUE what the heck you are talking about.

Do yourself, and others, a favor, and do a little research before you spout off ignorant tripe such as this. Attitudes such as yours do more harm than good. How about helping others rather than judging them?

the people talking about god here are amusing. People claiming to know why we are here are amusing.

Pure speculation stated as fact.

Faith is what it is! It's the having HOPE that what you believe in, is true. I have my own beliefs as does others. But at least I believe.

I sincerely hope you're able to live with this all the days of your life.

it's a survival mechanism....fight or flight....you can only fight your mind for so long before you have to get away from yourself...........or so i've read.

the author said it is like being in an overwhelming situation....you don't care what any one else thinks....you just want out of the situation.

But that is the interesting dichotomy.

On one hand you have hope that your belief that we have a purpose and that God cares about us is true.

Then you go and state things like "Jesus died for us" as a fact.

I believe that there is a big difference in what one hopes to be true and what is certainly a fact.
