Answer 1

These people personify ignorance and quite frankly are *****.



Suicide is not cowardly and it's certainly not the easy way out. Usually it's the ONLY way out.



We never asked to be born. We were put on earth without choice. It's beyond me that people expect you to live through sorrow and suffering when all that you desire is peace.



EDIT: some of these answers are astonishing. Why do so many people live their life through others? In fear of inflicting any kind of pain on others even if in doing so it deprives you of your own happiness (or whatever your need). People really ought to put more value on THEMSELVES.

Answer 2

How can you call it the easy way out, A) some people feel they have no choice, terminal patients etc and B) if you seriously think that taking your own life doesnt take courage ......try it!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

Nothing. .Misery loves company and nothing will tee off a person quicker than to leave them holding the bag. Most people are ruled entirely throughout their lives by fear, so it makes perfect sense that they would be afraid to commit suicide. And if someone else has the good sense to get out while the getting is good, it makes everyone else who is left standing around, carry on and face the music. I'm 65, and the only thing that scares me is the prospect of old age and the pain and suffering that goes with it. It amazes me to watch really old people squeeze every last second out of life no matter how horribly painful it is. Not this kid, I had a great life and I don't need to hang around like these tumorous bores in the nursing homes, sitting around like a bunch of chickens, while everyone is just waiting till they punch out. How disgusting..

Answer 4

"Taking the easy way out" can apply to a lot of situations. I gather that you mean specifically suicide.



With suicide, you do two things that seem wrong to most people. You toss away a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity - that of life - which most people recognize as our most valuable possession. No one should be deprived of their life - even at their own hand.



Two, you generally do a giant dump of your life's troubles on others. Suicide is shocking and horrifying and heart-breaking to all those who care about us. So it's intensely selfish to do because we gain our peace at everyone else's expense. It's like robbing everyone around you so that you can have some money.



And, anyone who does care about you wants to try and save you, heal you, get you past your moment of misery. You don't cut off your foot just because you sprain your ankle and it's hurting - it will heal in a few weeks - same thing.



And, more subtly, when you demonstrate a casual disregard for the value of life, it is hostile to others - because it says the same thing about their lives. That life itself is casual, worthless. And it's menacing - it makes them feel alone and frightened because obviously you wouldn't do anything to save them either - or even acknowledge their feelings. That's why a lot of people play the suicide thing for five years - they are angry and hostile, and it causes their family and others to twist and squirm in discomfort and worry.



Perhaps you've asked this 25 times before and know all this better than I do - but I thought I'd give you one good-faith answer. This is it, if you are sincere about wanting to know.

Answer 5

Suicide only hurts the ones left behind. It shows the people that care about you that you don't care about them. It is the ultimate insult to kill yourself rather than live in the world with the people that care about you.



It is much easier to commit suicide than to face your problems, do something to improve yourself and help others cope as well.



Someone that is suffering should be allowed to "check-out". The way to do this is to talk it over with the people that care about you first. The ones that don't concur with your wishes are being selfish.



When I hear about someone killing their-self, I always think "what a selfish bastard, quitting life and leaving the people that cared about them to feel guilty for the rest of their lives".



There is no jealousy. Anyone can kill their-self at any time. What's the point in getting in a hurry to die? We all do that eventually. The challenge is to see what we can do with-in this world first.



Cutting your life short is like cutting into the exit line at a amusement ride without going on the ride itself. Pointless.



I hope this opens some thought processes.



Peace to you.

Answer 6

Okay, first of all, I'll try to ignore your lack of grammar.



The thing that's wrong with taking "the easy way out" is that it's cowardly and stupid, that you'd give up your life because you're going through one rough spot, and you don't want to deal with it. Of course, you seem like someone that believes in reincarnation, so this might not matter, at least to you. I'm not sure why you're asking if any of us are "jealous", because there's many, almost infinite ways to commit suicide, many of which can be done with household items, so there's really no reason for someone to "not be able to", if they were really determined. And if someone's dying of cancer or some other terminal illness, that's different, "pulling the plug" (for lack of a better term) is different, and better, than committing suicide, which you should be smart enough to know. So in short, I'm not "jealous" of "not being able" to kill myself, I'm just strong enough to get past whatever problem I'm dealing with. Have a nice day :)

Answer 7

What is wrong with it is that in most cases it doesn't stop the misery and suffering, it simply transfers it to others, as well as a lot of undeserved and unwanted expenses and inconveniences. We all desire happiness and we all pursue it in one way or another. We all have an equal claim to happiness but none of us has the right to diminish the happiness of others. If you can arrange so that your willful departure leaves no one unhappy or inconvenienced against their will, then have at it.

Answer 8

Nothing at all, I perceived suicidal thoughts for about seven years! will I end up killing myself? I doubt it, but even if I do it ain't my 'choice'. I am okay with whether I do or I do not (again, is not like I have a 'choice on the matter'), but to be honest If I had a 'choice' I rather perceive loving thoughts, (Imho, suicidal thoughts can be boring) I mean, I hope to live long enough to have a better opportunity to doing so. And yes, some people may be jealous of people who ended up commiting self-murder, including you it seems to me.



Suffering is blessing! I wish my friends suffering and I hope you too, suffer enough.

If you allow me some advice: Try thoughtless meditation, do it properly, is the 'death' or 'suicide' of the "self", you may want to experience it and find out what is left.



Suicide is destiny for some, that's all. Is it your destiny or mine? I guess we can't know until we 'die'.

Answer 9

Personally I have no problem with strangers who commit suicide.



What might disturb people is the fact that the person who committed suicide was selfish by not caring about how much it will hurt the people who love them.

Answer 10

i think people are angry because they are hurt at this person leaving them by choice. the easiest way to die is by choice, the hardest is by letting nature take it's course. life takes courage and not everyone has a drop of that left in them after some experiences. it takes determination to fill your cup up when all you see is a desert.
