This is nonsense. Do you really all having nothing better to do than this. It's ridiculous how on this forum people find it offensive that others want to die and see death as being a positive thing. Like no one is forced to die, suicide is a personal decision. And that user you idolise is clearly a nasty, malicious person that has no empathy for suicidal people, you can see that through loads of their posts. It's clear they like drama and attention being drawn to them, I've seen many of their posts before.
Okay now you should perhaps say the name of the person you are referring to in much of this post, and jsyk this could be construed as bullying which you proclaim to despise
Which consciousness might survive? The one we had when we took our first breath? The one we have at the moment of our death? Somewhere in between?
Don't forget dementia, which can also change your personality dramatically.
The point l made was that death is not "beautiful", and this is still not a "beautiful" death you're describing - in fact, you're describing a gorish accident with accompanying agonies, not a whimsical, romantic release.
In that case why does everybody cling to the notion of the "peaceful pill" when one could simply experience a beautiful, blissful release by launching themselves into traffic
Like I have said before, she obviously meant beautiful as in the state of inexistence, not the process. If you look at many of her posts, she's quite clear on the fact that death can be quite gruesome
logically speaking you are right and "peaceful pill" is irrelevant, but people don't just act logically, they are mostly driven by feelings (which are irrational) and one of those feelings is fear.
We are bacteria on the face of the earth and that's it. Life is nothing more than pointless and meaningless suffering.
get therapy and perhaps a social life. life is wasted on the living...
It seems like your response was meant for another poster? I can't see any relation whatsoever from your response to my comment.
Hi Doom. Yes, I hope you're right- I'm actually on the fence between the whole God/ non God, afterlife/ nothing idea. I'd actually much rather believe there is nothing for all the reasons you have just given. Kind of weird though- I don't remember posting in this thread... Do you remember which thread I said this and what it was in response to please?
Hmm, that comes across as a somewhat snide remark ...
Me too, oh God, me too! Why can't we have an easy, painless, quick, and fool proof way out? I don't want to hurt anyone, I just want to go. Please God, can I go now huh, pleassssse?
Earlier on in the same post.
You still haven't named the user or given any examples of their posts.
My point remains that this romanticised view of death is absolutely ignorant to its reality.
The main one that people mention is reincarnation, and to me it's all fictional, of course people can believe in it all they want and it certainly sounds horrifying the thought of any kind of life after this, but I strongly believe that when we die we cease to exist.
Yes, that is what I meant. I've literally made so many posts on how death is comforting, that's clearly what the post is about. To die is a beautiful thing as it permanently ends all problems and suffering, there is nothing more ideal than this to me. There is simply no benefit to continuing to endure this existence and there never could be. Nobody's denying the fact that going through the process of dying can potentially be awful, but being trapped in this world will always be the worst thing.
I understand this, and it makes a lot of sense, but the problem is that planning suicide potentially comes with a lot of complications, and there's no really ideal easily accessible method that exists. There's no access to the gun method in the UK, so that's not an option for many people. But even if I had one I would fear it somehow going wrong, even know it's a fatal method I did read about the failed shotgun suicide on here. The methods available depend on where the person lives. But I do think that only those who are very lucky die a peaceful death and I envy them.
Right there with you until you brought in the idea of nonexistence is a leap of faith. That's actually supported by science. No one has ever been able to weigh a soul. No one has seen any sudden flash of energy converting to anything else. We just stop living. Faith in something beyond that is required by religion. It is only religion that gives you some ideas that anything continues after you stop functioning.
Rain, are you seriously going to double-down and say FC is not setting her own opinion as absolute truth? Is this the precedent you're willing to set?
This is gaslighting. You can't say things like "this is the truth" and then pretend you were just opining. The only thing that's controversial is the way you consistently set your own opinion as the absolute truth and then downplay it as "just hating life."
