I hate how easy it is to help someone die compared to solving their problems. Death is straightforward, maybe not simple, but it's straight froward. It's easy to help someone come up with methods and optimize methods. But not the same with their life, maybe they have a job they hate they can't quit, maybe they can't escape their abusive family, maybe they just need money. I can't help with that, I don't have solutions and answers to that. Well, suppose I can spare some money for my friends but like I don't have enough to make their life better. I can't come up with good answers unlike with death, it's simple, lots of ways to die. I hate this, I want to help my friends make their life better, but I can only help them die. Death really is the easy way out hm? Why is it like this, I hate how we live in a world where it's way harder to live than die. I can't solve any of my problems, I can't help my friends either. The only thing I can help with is suicide and it's despairing. I don't want it to be this way, but this is the world we live in.

Life comes with problems. The problems of life can only truly be solved in death because there are infinite ways for worse things to happen and for new problems to occur. Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong. That's just the sad truth about life. I wish that life were more predictable, but unfortunately, it's not. I wish that life also contained less problems. I don't know why life is so…

Actually, I'd argue that suicide is also made to be as risky and painful as it can be by our governments. In the hopes that the fear of maiming ourselves will encourage us to stick with our unhappy lives.

But yes, I do agree. Problems in life aren't easily solved and the solutions aren't always satisfactoy in the long-term. Plus, more problems tend to crop up.

It's lovely that you want to help your friends though. I'm sure they appreciate your support at least. But sadly- no- it isn't enough always. My Dad doesn't realise the extent of how bad things are for me but it's obvious I'm struggling. He'll tell me he loves me and, that has to count for something- right? And I mean- of course- I'm grateful to at least have someone that cares. But ultimately- it doesn't help me to live. It just keeps me trapped here.

Death is the way out of this life / this world / this existence but it's never easy. Death is the only solution to everything bc it's the only relief from all suffering in this world After we are dead we're not here anymore, we're not in this world, this life doesn't bother us anymore. Whether there is sth after death is a different question.

It's truly sad that for some people suicide is the only solution to their unsolvable (and often permanent problems) and we cannot help them.

I resonate with that.... there s just no solution for so many problems and I hate it too. I don t know how I should ever just accept that like so many others do.... I cant.

Death is easy, yes, but dying isn't. You mixed the two in your posts. Death isn't the same as dying at all and sadly dying is risky for most of us. Death is just the end result of dying successfully and the end result of that is permanent, blissful non existence

I don't think anyone can claim suicide is easy or straightforward unless they've successfully done it themselves.

I'm more saying death is easier if you compare it to actually trying to solve your problems for probably most of us. Some of our problems are maybe even impossible to solve.
