Has this forum changed certain views of you or even the whole world view?

Yeah, tbh, the dominating discussion on this entire site being us vs the pro-lifers rubs me very wrong.

Their (very vocal band of members') simplistic take of "life is suffering, therefore the only right move is sewer-slide" is ironically too normie. Why would someone whose mind works like that need further support and validation? Like, your entire emotional bandwidth is supposedly directed at self-preservation.

For many, the equation doesn't work like that. Some may be choosing to go because of their powerlessness in the face of everything evil in the world.

The normans already believe that someone kills themselves because of their own personal pain anyway. In part, many would read the forum to try and identify with the members here, probably proven by the better half of this thread. But the identification with indifference towards all except one's own personal suffering is invalidating to the ones that are not indifferent but carry immense anger and grief, beyond the realm of their own personal experience.

 

[Meaninglessness]

There will be suicidal people as long as human euthanasia is lacking. Because of the high life expectancy, most people are suffering for decades before death - people are forced to live longer than the body holds. Sanctioned Suicide hasn´t changed anything for me. Suicidal need must have existed as long as there have been humans or at least since the beginning of civilization. What did suicidal people do with their thoughts about death before the Internet was invented? The absence of human euthanasia is the worst injustice in the time that we live in now.
