Amanda Todd Suicide

The easy way out of what? I'll attempt at explaining a little bit about life and suicide to you.

Life, like all other things in existence, has absolutely no value except to those who give it value. Human beings are given the ability to think and choose for themselves, so they have the ability to choose their own ways of living as well as their own way of dying. The obvious fact is that death cannot be avoided by humans, so how a person chooses to live their lives honestly makes no difference. The only reasons to live are created by each individual person for themselves alone. Your reasons to live may be far different from the next person's and so on. There isn't any cowardice in not seeing any reasons to continue because, again, reasons to live are subjective. How you continue life is a choice, but how you start isn't; people don't choose to be born so you may have been forced into an existence you didn't want in the first place.

People claim suicide is a cowardly choice without realizing that if they were that person they would have killed themselves too; that suicide could not have been prevented. Reality is in the mind, and if the person honestly saw no reason to continue living, or at least saw more reason to die, then it is so and they will die whether they committed suicide or not. Seeing the dead who still live is an awful sight, and one could even say it would be best for their misery to end immediately. It's no different than seeing a suffering, dying animal. Yes, you could allow it to struggle on till it dies on its own, but you could also end it faster for them because that suffering isn't necessary. Life isn't anything more than a very slow death, and it isn't necessary to continue if you don't want to. Choosing to live isn't brave. When you strip everything down to what it all really is you realize that that life you chose meant absolutely nothing, and you as a person meant nothing, and everything you held dear to you meant nothing. You were just another person who existed briefly in time and were forgotten and replaced as that time kept flowing.



I would say the inability to understand is what is killing mankind.

as a person who sees absolutely no value in life, i still think that those who suicide are just being selfish idiots. you may not see any value in your life, you may hate your life, but pineapple as flonne said, if someone else can have it worse and smile, why do you have to give up?

if i was her i wouldn't have killed myself, no matter who i was i wouldn't have killed myself, because doing so means giving up and not caring a single bit about those that are around you, and to me that's unacceptable. the fact it's easier for people to kill themselves rather than discuss with ANYONE about what's pushing them to the edge is plain retarded to me.

quoting my messenger line, which i've had for years: "death awaits us all, no need for shortcuts"

BUT HOW ELSE WILL I BE COOL?

OH MY GOD THIS ISN'T FAIR.


Honestly no one is trying to be "cool" here. We're not 12 years old anymore, I doubt anyone cares about being "cool" in a fucking online forum.

oh shush, you're such an e-bully anyways.


anyways, i hate these topics, they make me feel cold, even when i know i don't have and will never have all the info. you guys are too passionate.
