Welcome to Gaia! ::

That is bullshit. Committing suicide is not okay because life is "pointless" life is a great universal experiment, and ending it prematurely is bullshit. Just because people think their lives are pointless doesn't give them the right to decide that everybody else's are pointless too.

My father committed suicide and it ******** ruined me. He didn't do it because he thought it was "Okay". He did it out of mental sickness. His brain was damaged, and it looked for self destruction. Anybody who just kills themselves because they decide to is even more defective. Suicide isn't some brave way to cheat destiny. It is forcing the future you want onto people who know you because they are forced to live without you. That entire snippet about destiny is just ******** ignorant. You wanna change destiny, you ******** get up and you make changes. If this was some attempt to "be a d**k" it ******** worked. This hurt me bad, and I am not happy.

There are too many unknowns to say that life is pointless.

'Right to die' only applies to people in actual physical suffering, most often from incurable things. Less than 50% of the people who contemplate and openly discuss suicidal thoughts actually want to die. Lots of people who say they want to commit suicide or make halfhearted attempts want to be stopped. Think about it: if a person were driven to a point where they genuinely had no will to live and wished they were dead, the last thing they would do is tell somebody who cares about them enough to try to stop them, or stop to argue with someone trying to stop them.

The main problem is that we can't tell if people really do just want to die or just want attention. They can't even decide which of the two they are. But I think if I were going to do off myself I would want to at least talk to my loved ones one last time, to at least say my final farewells. Maybe a small part of me would want them to stop me, but it is impossible to say so the point is somewhat moot. I guess it's like when a relative dies, and a part of you just thinks of all of the unfinished business between the two of you. If it's your choice to die (or you know that your number is up) you can say all of the things you wanted to say. I guess this would be the point of suicide notes. -shrug- I'm not an expert.

Edit: Kuzo: I don't think we'll ever see the "point" of life in the overall scheme of things. Different people will tell you different things. Life is what you make it; you find your own point, etc, but in my opinion if you decide to press "power," it's your decision. You are the master of your own destiny or something like that.

All I know is that if you're really serious on committing suicide and not just doing it for attention, that they wouldn't tell a single soul about it.

YOU DO GET IT! *Anti-gonk-face*


Wait, false alarm.

SPARE HIM THIS LIFE FROM THIS MONSTROSITY!

I'm aware of that. I sadly couldn't tell what song it was, so I changed it into a medley, or something.
