Is it wrong to simply don´t want to live?

[NullSz00]

This question just randomly popped into my head. Thoughts?

 

[sserafim]

There is no "right" and "wrong", it's all relative

 

[CasperDaGhost]

Nope. The way I see it, is that if life is unable to provide you with anything that you deem worthy of effort. Then it is life & the world that is insufficient, not you.

 

[davidtorez]

No right or wrong in my opinion. It's the same as asking is it wrong to like or not like vanilla icecream

If i did not have a certain trauma, that made me so thoughtful, i would just do my best to survive, thing that i do in a way or another.
But trauma opened my eyes, i see a lot of things, many things i don't like and that are no good at all.
It's like I'm stuck between life and death, in everything i do I'm both attached and detached, i really don't know if it is right or wrong.
Also i found my self to be excessively pretentious in people i meet, relationships, things i do and stuff i buy. I want the best things, because i don't want to feel pain anymore. I'm cruel towards myself and my achievements and i think my expectations are heavily distorted or i just want them to be.

I don't think so. Sometimes it can feel wrong because of how everyone else perceives it to be and tries to make you think otherwise but unfortunately we can't control what happens to us or how we feel so if it makes us not want to be alive anymore imo then that's just that.

If life doesn't give you anything, then why bother. If all it gives is pain and misery and no respite, then why bother. Everyone has troubles and pains, but there are moments of happiness too that even though short give them something to live for but if those moments are not enough, then it is difficult to say life is worth it. Without hope, there is no life.

 

[ultrasharpy123456]

For me, pretty much.

 

[BardBarrie]

I don't think it's wrong for people to not want to participate in an existence they did not consent to, no.

Plus I find reality quite absurd.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

No, it isn't wrong. I don't understand why anybody would want to live. Existence is absolutely horrifying

 

[Untimely]

No it makes sense. It's rational i think

 

[DEATH IS FREEDOM]

We should all have the right to determine the time of our own death. It is wrong to force people to live and suffer. We must all die anyway. Humans shouldn´t be treated worse than pets.

 

[strangelife]

If there are no serious problems with physical or mental health, then you are definitely wrong.

If someone enlisted you into the army or accepted a job offer on your behalf or presented you with a plate of chilli peppers or sneezed all over you- would you have the right to say- I don't want those things? Yes- because you didn't choose them and they all have the potential to cause you harm.

Ok, we're not absolutely forced into terrible things in life. Some still are though- tell that to someone who has been sex trafficked. But, even at the other end of the scale- we all have to earn money to live. Many of us won't get jobs we enjoy. Life does come with a whole lot of defecits- we have bodies vulnerable to illness and pain. Most of us have to support ourselves financially. We'll likely all end up doing countless amounts of things we don't want to do and for whom? Us? What if we don't want to live anymore?

Life has the potential to be good- sure. It also has the potential to be very bad. Why should we be pleased with the bad stuff that happens to us? Why should we accept it? Sure- if someone gives you a gift that you don't particularly like, you might accept it to remain courteous. But- if it's something that could well do you harm- say a live crocodile- you may well be less pleased about it.

"I simply don't want to live" - That's an unnatural behavior - without any context. There must be external factors that induce this way of thinking over a more or less long period of time. I do think that external circumstances that we are exposed to during our lives can result in "I don't want to live (anymore)".

In the end it's your decision.

 

[rozeske]

When you decide to no longer want to live it most certainly is b/c you found your life to be suffering in a way. Ain't nothing wrong with choosing to not suffer or to not be in pain any more.

 

[Stoked]

These thoughts crossed my mind today - "why live when you can die." "we will all eventually die anyway at some point"

I honestly don't understand why anyone would wish for existence in the first place, to me existence will always be completely undesirable in every way possible, I don't get how it could be wrong preferring the true peace of non-existence to having the ability to suffer in this futile existence that just leads to decay and death anyway.

In fact to me existence is such an abomination, only wishing for the permanent absence of it is all that makes sense to me. In my case I would always prefer to not exist no matter what especially as existence is so incredibly harmful and futile, to me it's beyond tragic how humans continue to so cruelly impose existence in the first place, they just create so much unnecessary suffering and problems that there were never a need for.
It disgusts me how they procreate especially as there is no limit as to how much agony one can feel as long as they exist, existence truly is so unnecessary with unlimited potential to suffer yet nobody can be harmed by the absence of it, in my case existence itself will always be the true problem.
