"Permanent solution to a temporary problem" makes no sense to me

[slowdance]

Why would it be bad to have all your problems solved forever? What does the temporariness of the problem have to do with whether a solution is good or not? Permanent solution makes CTB sound great. A permanent solution to any problem is better than a temporary solution.

People just try to find something to keep people alive, even if it doesn't make sense. Some people just don't understand what the other person is going through. Even if the "temporary problem" fixes itself, there will be another problem to take its place.

I have never understood it either, also sometimes the issue isn't temporary because sometimes even if you get better you may not be actually 100% better. There are also cases where nothing else has worked so I always find this stupid because it is a solution to a problem that may or may not get better and is kinda permanent.

If you don't believe in an afterlife(and I see no serious reason favoring that belief), then I would argue that once you're dead it doesn't really make any difference whether you were alive. It can be further extrapolated that the inevitability and eternity of death makes life insignificant to start with. It's very nihilistic, but I don't actually believe there is any good argument against this position. With that said, I still have the same layer of operational common sense as most people, and don't think it's reasonable to commit suicide over a parking ticket or something.

A solution so thorough you'll never have any problems again!

What if I don't have any problems, I just want to die?

I never found that sentence applicable to me.

I understand as a permanent solution is what I personally hope for, ceasing to exist would solve what I see as the true problem which is existence itself as after all if I'm gone I cannot suffer in any way, there are no disadvantages to not existing. I personally just hope to never suffer ever again and non-existence is all I see as positive, I'd be so relieved to be free from this existence of unnecessary suffering where there is no limit as to how much agony one can feel just to decay and die anyway, I'd just never wish for the cruel, futile burden of existing, I just want permanent peace instead, to permanently cease existing is all I've hoped for.

That saying always encouraged me to CTB! A permanent solution to everything sounds wonderful and enticing! I don't know who is in charge of the stop-suicide crusade, but they need a better statement than that onePerhaps, "Keep hope alive," would be a better slogan than that crap

 

[depthss]

it also ignores when problems actually are permanent lmao, i hate when people just assume everything changes and always gets better, some things really just do not have a solution

I've been an autistic loser for 45 years. But I still have hopes that this is just "temporary" and that 46 will finally be the year that I'm not one anymore.
