Why is suicide looked down upon?

[twozerosix]

Why the %$@% would you not want to live? Honestly...

 

[brettthejett]

From what I've seen.... people who commit/attempt suicide affect many people.

And I'm not talking about emotionally.

I'm talking about the %%+@#$% who jumped off the highlevel bridge (a major road artery) during rush hour traffic in winter.
Crews of 50+ people had to be involved. The bridge was shut down. people diving in the water under ice to risk their own lives trying to find him
COME ON. go out silently

Since we're in the subject of suicide, http://gizmodo.com/574198...-survive-a-23+flo-(jump

 

[pacers31]

because you're hurting your family and friends. plus when it comes down to it, suicide isn't an easy thing to do no matter how depressed you are.

I don't condone suicide and always thought it was a selfish act.

Last month, I read this 4,000 word suicide letter written by this 23 year old man who wrote about his depression, suffrance, agony, and his pain of living due to being raped and molested for years as a child. After finishing reading that letter, I could never understand and feel or even imagine someone in his position to feel that low that you want to take your own life. I can't judge him for his actions. That letter is so sad.

Thats why.

What is more selfish then making someone endure the pain of living just because YOU want them alive?

If I want someone to live it's not because I want them to endure pain for the rest of their life though...it's because I believe they can get pass that and eventually live and enjoy life from a peaceful standpoint for themselves...maybe it is selfish...justifiably so imo

I do think it's selfish when you take that approach to someone and dont do *+$+ about it either to help that person in need

I don't have problem against seppuku and assisted suicide, but I can't rationalize regular suicide, unless the reasons are extremely grave and practically hover around the euthanasia mark.

[truthgetsbusy]

but people divorce, quit jobs, transfer schools all the time. Why don't they just stick it out?

I don't understand how somebody's choice to end THEIR life is a problem. I thought we lived for ourselves not family and friends.

Things arent that black and white...what if you have children...you are just living for yourself then too?

Everything depends on the situation...We do live for ourselves...but it's not the ONLY thing we live for..$+%+ aint never that simple

Cause it's too easy. Nobody respects something that's achieved easily.
