Thoughts on the word commit

[Brokenwithbpd]

I was recently reading, and it made me wonder, what's your take on when people say committed suicide, or "completed" as family members might say. For me, I really don't give a crap how people talk of me after I'm dead, as long as it makes the point to several people who I will be writing about in my note

I do say "committed suicide" on occasion,but would rather use the words "took their own life"
Suicide was an actual crime once,and "comitted suicide" when I say it,feels wrong.
As if they're guilty of an offence.
Agreed though,I couldn't care less how people phrase my demise.

Yes I agree, it makes it feel like they committed a crime. The way people say words is always important
