Do you think suicide brings bad karma?

[ireallywasnttogopls]

Well who knows what happens after death

Kinda irrational but I fear of being reincarnated with bad karma (like the Indian caste thing says)

Or another one of my irrational fear is that I become a ghost and have to witness my family's reaction to my death. I know it's kind of selfish of me because I know they will be heartbroken snd in eternal pain . I just can't do this anymore

If we assume it does, does the cost outweigh the benefit? Are we taking out a loan that we have to pay interest on later? Or are we making a large one-time payment in the hopes that it will pay off?

I don't believe in karma, especially beyond one's life. Even within one lifetime, there's a bunch of "good" people who get the short end of the stick and a bunch of "bad" people rake in things in excess.

It also seems irrational that the universe or some higher being thinks you should get punished for a thing you can't remember. Punishments tend to be a way to teach someone the right way of doing things but what's the point if they don't even know what they did wrong? Just push them to be the best they can be in hopes they get a better life their current self won't experience?

I assume that if you end your life in this one, you get bad karma for harming your body and hurting the other people around you

IN turn it only makes sense that you get reborn but with an even worse life with worse conditions

Kinda like the Indian caste system, where if you kill yourself you get reborn into the lowest caste (street sweepers)

It has no proof but I also feel like karma is real, well at least negative karma feels real lol it seems like you always get punished for your wrong doings and never rewarded for doing good

Bring bad karma to who, you. No, you're dead

I sometimes think this but the problem is we can't spectate a person's life 100% so we don't know how their karma is manifesting behind the scenes . For all you know the "bad " people are good at concesling their suffering especially with social media as you can choose to post all the good aspects of ur life and hide the bad.

Also karma doesn't have a time clock, karma can come now or later

It also seems irrational that the universe or some higher being thinks you should get punished for a thing you can't remember.

This is a Very very good point

Bring bad karma to who, you. No, you're dead

Yes but what If you reincarnate and your karma is manifested into your new life

But I do agree that it would be irrational for a higher power to do this, but who knows

Most people here aren't going to believe in karma, and nobody is able to prove it, but again let's just assume it is real.
I guess if I were to look at it in a more positive light, then yes you would be born into a worse life. But I'd like to think you'd have opportunities to repay that karmic debt, and have opportunities to build a better life for yourself even if it does start out shittily.

If you want what I actually think will happen: Nothing. I've said this over and over to people but I'll say it again. You've spent billions of years not existing, and then, suddenly, here you are. Those billions of years didn't take very long to pass right? When you die, it is logical that you'd return to that state. An eternity of non-existence. But that's nothing to be afraid of. After all, you already have spent an eternity not existing before you were born, and that didn't take long, right?

As another commentor said, the universe doesn't operate on morality or law. It just exists. It's not out there to teach you a lesson. Why would some divine being waste their time on us when the universe is so uncomprehendingly vast that we might as well not exist when you put it to scale.

I believe in a form of "karma" but not when it comes to CTB. I don't believe any one wants to commit suicide. Life and shit usually push them to no longer wanting to exist in their present form. I can't imagine life feeding a person a ton of crap and then when that person can't take it anymore and decides to check-out, karma comes along and decides to punish them for not taking the crap. Oh, by the way, complete assholes are going to be given the keys to all hedonistic pleasures that life can offer.

I get that life is cruel and unfair, but it would be the ultimate FU if that cruelty and unfairness follows us into the afterlife, whatever that may be.

 

[madameviolette]

I think about it too. If everything in the universe is a matter of action > reaction then it would make sense that ctb would have an impact. Most probably a negative one since it goes against natural forces.

But then we would probably don't remember. After death would be like before birth.

Also we are all supposed to be coming from the same source. Why would we keep a sense of individuality after death ?

No, Karma is made up. Just like heaven and hell and purgatory and reincarnation and all the other fantasy nonsense that humans have invented to scare and control people.
