Suicide

[IJesusChrist]

I was thinking about this once:
We all came from one cell, long, long ago. A mother cell.

We are all connected, and one organism in that respect. If you take away time, you see the cell, branching off all the way to us, some billion years old.

Time really clouds the vision of reality.

In this respect, you live on in your child, and forever there after his/her offspring. Just one big ole fleshy weird looking mobile carbon based thing. Eating and shitting and typing on the computer.

What was this topic about again?

why would a person want to end life when it is supposed to end? stop the ride because you are scared? My sister is like that. i was like her. Psychonauting saved me matteroffactly. tho she has a much more serious reason to do that i don't approve of it (who am i to do that? well who is she to end it when it ends anyway????)
i'm no fucking christian (and they can take their arguments in hell with themselves) but life is meant to be lived, because it's a fucking short period of time compared to the eternity of NOT living. the absence of purpose causes suicidal needs, then get doing something for fuck sake, if you are healthy then something in your life will turn up that will bring you in another direction, life is change, the only thing that does not change is being hooked to a machine and being unable to walk outside enjoy the fresh air and LIVE!
know what? only people in agonizing pain have the right to kill themselves, and as long as the body is healthy and functional for the minimum requirements then there is no need for suicide. yet even when this fails there are kids in africa, asia, america, even europe that have no intention of dying and are fighting with every cell of their body to keep going!
but again who am i to stop a person from committing suicide? if a person can't see it, then it should die a blind person, too bad they couldn't see, it's a person less who needs to be fed.
maybe i shouldn't have posted...i'm too biased and can't keep a straight mind
EDIT: that was my 2 cents that's why i posted in the first place don't you fucking dare judge.

If i was near someone who had intolerable pain or was dieing through drowning because their lungs didnt work or something similar i would definately help them to die if they wanted it . I dont care if i had to hit the doctor and break open the drugs cupboard i`d do it .

i still think about it sometimes. i welcome death. i don't know how to explain it well but there's something i like about someone who is comfortable with the thought of ceasing to exist. one that doesn't take oneself that seriously. i think it requires a healthy dose of cynicism. but, though it is a very difficult thing to actually execute, it is after all the easy way out.

if there were no rewards to reap
no loving embrace to see me through
this tedious path i've chosen here
i certainly would've walked away
by now

but i still may

i feel im on a similar path to you

in 1993 my good friend Angus constructed a pallet of wood, covered it in polythene, sat in the lotus position, poured 5 gallons of petrol over himself and lit a match.

he left a real mess behind. i dont think his mother ever recovered

 

[cockknocker]

leaving a note that said "pardon the mess"

a la dead from mayhem?

 

[????????]

^wow i wasn't thinking about that when i had that idea, i had read about that crazy guy but i sincerely don't remember if it was before or after my morbid ideations so i can't tell if it influenced me. i guess it did, albeit unconsciously.

 

[IJesusChrist]

Mr.Smith do you know why?

And where did he do it? Did his mother actually find his mess?

... I wonder what he was thinking.

 

[Mr.Smith]

ive thought about it myself.

i spent 2 weeks looking for the crispy corpse of one of my closest friends. a neighbour spotted him walking into the woods with a plastic petrol can.

he had been struggling with a freebase coke addiction for a year or so, and had recently been sectioned twice after crashing a car on mushrooms, then later setting fire to his house while boiling mushrooms in vodka to inject. hospital did him no favours.

i knew he was dead. i walked through the woods (very large woods) poking every remnant of fire looking for signs of human remains. i visited all his favorite places, walked every deer track i found, every clearing. he was found by an off-duty cop walking his dog almost a month after dissapearing (i had travelled 200mi to look for him- he had been missing over a week).


now.. i doubt i will ever kill myself. when somebody joins the forum proclaiming "dont pick on me or i'll kill myself" i think: "what a douche - you are the worse sort of psychic parasite, grow up, get a fucking grip you snivelling waste of skin. where the fuck is your basic sense of decency?"

worse than scabies IMO

 

[Mr.Smith]

(the last bit wasnt a reference to you IJC, you have mentioned thinking about suicide but never attempted emotional blackmail. others have)

Mr.Smith do you know why?

And where did he do it? Did his mother actually find his mess?

... I wonder what he was thinking.

he was mainly thinking about the mess humanity was making of the planet. he had a good heart, Angus.

he was also extremely ill, though most would say it was self inflicted

responding to god's first post, it should be legal to self terminate if one has a terminal or serious debilitating illness. one should have the right to die with some dignity.

makes me sick to the bones, to think I could be paralyzed from the neck down and not be able to end my life.

hey anyone seen that movie death at a funeral, im kinda watching it right this moment, cracking me right up.

 

[Dantediv86]

I loved that movie, than again i don't think i ever regretted seeing a Frank Oz movie
