No, but it becomes selfish when you want to take someone with you....

You believe this based on what?

A lot of things. My personal experiences, others experiences, various religious texts, etc.

I believe we reincarnate on this plane until we get karmically correct. Once we prove ourselves, we go somewhere much better.

But gotta prove you're worthy.

That to me is the whole point of our life. Live with integrity no matter what you go thru.

We are ALL being tested in many different ways. How do you react to those tests defines your character.

So a 15 year old who eats a bullet over bullying is doing it selflessly? Suicide is selfish but it's not always wrong to be selfish.

No it isn't dumb ass.

By definition it is selfless. Removing yourself from taking resources so that these resources can go toward another.

It's definitely selfish. The only way I could remotely understand it is if you're dying in bed for months and just waiting to die.

My friends grandfather was diagnosed with incurable brain cancer and he killed himself.

Yeah I've been really down before, but I could NEVER imagine doing that to my mom. The pain that would cause her would burn my soul in the after life.

It's the unforgivable sin, and I believe if you do that, you are gonna be sent right back down here to do your time. God has you on a clock, and if you clock out before its your time, it's right back to this miserable existence.

Stay strong friends.

Do you really believe that? That God punishes those that do this? Then why would he make people more prone to it to begin with to just turn around and punish them when they do what their God-given brain is telling them?

I think it would be cruel of God to make some people that have these thoughts, and make some people that don't, and then punish the ones that act on it.

Sky gods, brehs.

It's not punishment, you're doing it to yourself. You have free will to BE any way you want to BE.

You get exactly what you deserve. Nothing more nothing less.

Sounds mean? Don't be an a$$hole and you have nothing to worry about.

And since you're mocking my belief in a higher power, I'm guessing you believe evolution/Big Bang? Aka NOTHING? What a miserable existence that is. I know cuz I used to be there myself.

Not if the chemical make up of your brain tells you otherwise. Then your biology and genetics overtake your free will.

I believe in a higher power but I do NOT believe in and refuse to worship a God that is supposed to be all-knowing that would punish its creations for making what it thinks are bad decisions. That kind of God sounds like a dikk, tbh.

Yes if you have kids or you got people who would be really tore up if they lost you. But mainly if you have kids. You're basically saying they ain't worth living for. They depend on you and even if they are grown it's still bad. It's bad regardless.

Highest suicide rates in the world are in the East, and are in poor countries :ld:

India's suicide rate is higher than the US :ld:


People in the western world (rich countries) often have higher rates of depression but are less likely to kill themselves.

we live in a society where my likes and dislikes make me less black in the eyes of others regardless of my skin tone or heritage....

but it's impossible for me to be clinically depressed regardless of what's going on in my head, and I simply need to man up.

:heh: imagine that.

I think everybody's different and that people who have never felt suicidal have no right to judge those who do take their own life.

But I also agree with this...

The general lack of compassion is a breeding ground for negativity, which feeds a suicidal mind.

Bullshyt. I've known people with severe mental conditions. When they are living a clean and healthy lifestyle, exercising etc their mental problems are virtually nil. If they are heavy drinkers/druggies, watch out. It's up to them.

Whatever your genetic makeup/deformities/disabilities are, it is likely karmic balancing from your current or past life.

If you are putting out negativity, you attract negativity. It's the energy flow of the universe. Call it God or whatever you want but that's how it works.

You hate God because you don't want to take responsibility for yourself and your actions. You will continue getting those lessons until you grasp that what you're doing is morally wrong. Yes believe it or not, THERE IS SUCH A THING AS RIGHT OR WRONG.

You sound like a little kid who gets grounded by your parents and you think they are the meanest people on earth, you hate them and want to run away. Do you really think they do that because they hate you? No it's the opposite, they love you and are teaching you a lesson.
