because we are useful as slaves who work and pay taxes, we are only robots that produce goods and money.

without the workers, the anthill collapses.

Ah, the illusion of choice. We don't really have choices in our lives. We didn't choose to be here and we're not really free to leave, because there are so many systems in place to prevent us from doing so. We feel we have the choice of our path in life, but even that is an illusion. We have to do something that society deems worthwhile, which is often something that does not actually interest us. Many of us are forced into low-paying jobs that serve to fatten the wallets of the super wealthy.

We are happy if we believe we have choice in our life. For example, if we're forced to read a book in school, we are often unhappy about it. But if we choose to read that book ourselves, our perception might be quite different. Or if we buy a new computer because we want to, versus because we have to since ours is broken. The former produces a much happier feeling.

For those of us who become aware of this illusion, life can't bring us much happiness. Ignorance is indeed bliss.

Fuck society!!

It's not as malicious as some people here make it out to be. The reality is that most people want to live and find death sad. Avoiding death is part of keeping a population happy. People are never going to be on board with suicide because they will never feel good about people ending their lives; empathy isn't that powerful and suicide will always be seen as a tragic mistake in the eyes of most people.

You can't choose to be born, you don't have much control over how you live but you can choose how and when you die. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. In fact, keep society out of it because they'll try to save you and boost their self esteem.

 

[sadghost]

It's illogical. If we were brought into this world without our consent we should be able to leave but we're conditioned to believe that life = good and death = bad

 

[zeroshark]

couldnt agree more. im sick to death (ironic) of hearing about "a permanent solution to a temporary problem"; some of us have long-term problems for which there is no easy solution or end to our pain!! the only thing suicide prevention can effectively do for us is keep us in pain longer, right up until the very last moment, by denying us a peaceful exit.

seems like banksy agrees with you.

Agree, it's because your damn mother carried you for a whole 9 months..what? Your mother chose to have a baby herself and didn't need to have one? Uhhhhh...well you're already here so why don't you go to work so you can survive huh how about you get a family too and make some children that will grow up to be miserable
