Venting General thread for my vents about not wanting to live anymore

[brokenspirited]

People romanticize struggle as if pain builds character, but all it builds is exhaustion. I'm tired of pretending there's nobility in suffering.

On The Right to Die


They argue that the right to die diminishes the value of life and endangers those who choose to live. They are right. Deep down, they know the truth: that life lacks inherent value and is merely a struggle filled with pain and the illusion of meaning. They cling to the belief that suffering is essential because they are too frightened to confront the emptiness of existence.

They want us to endure the same suffering because they cannot bear to be alone in their misery. This is not about preserving life; it is about their fear of facing reality. Anyone who chooses a different path threatens their illusion and reminds them that suffering is a choice.

They lash out at those of us who seek freedom and tranquillity, viewing our different choices as a betrayal of their accepted suffering. They want to keep everyone confined to their pain because they fear that if we find peace, it will expose their own struggles.

However, we recognise that the right to die does not attack others' right to live. It is an act of reclaiming our autonomy, choosing peace over suffering. It is in this choice that we find the freedom to determine our own destiny, and ultimately, peace, which frightens them the most.

"When people come to me saying they want to kill themselves, I tell them, "What's your rush? You can kill yourself any time you like. So calm down. Suicide is a positive act." And they do calm down."
- Emil Cioran

"Sadness and depression are very different things. Sadness is something happens and you temporarily become sad. Depression is a condition where you see things for what they are."
- Drew Michael

"A first sign of the beginning of understanding is the wish to die."
- Franz Kafka

"Humankind cannot bear very much reality."
- T.S. Elliot

"A hundred times I wanted to kill myself, but I still loved life. That ridiculous weakness is perhaps one of our most baneful inclinations: for is there anything more foolish than to wish to carry continually a burden that one can always throw down? To abhor one's existence, and yet to cling to that existence?"
- The Old Woman, in Voltaire's Candide

Life has no purpose. Life has no meaning. Life has no value to me.

Life feels like a never-ending struggle, and I'm so tired of fighting.

The ultimate freedom is the freedom to choose when and how to end one's life.
