We can't choose when to be born, but we can choose when to die

[Christian5483]

We can't choose when to be born, but we can choose when to die. So, why is it wrong to decide for ourselves when enough is enough?

After so many failed attempts, I now believe we don't decide when we go either. I'm a Christian also btw. I think you can try all you want but God is the ultimate decider of when you will go. I've kinda found a little peace in believing I'm still here because there are lessons I need to learn. Everyday, he is giving me another opportunity to build a stronger relationship with him. I think if my plans were successful, perhaps I'd be in hell right now. I still struggle, but all I can do is try to wait for a natural death now.

I wish I could just choose when to cease existing, it'd bring me so much peace and relief if I could just have the option to peacefully and permanently cease existing and never suffer ever again but of course I exist in this horrific reality where human suffering is seen as to force and prolong no matter what even know I never would had wished for any of this and it all just leads to death anyway. I personally find it so tragic how this existence was even imposed that just causes all this suffering all for the sake of it and problems there were never a need for, I always suffer so much from being denied the option to find permanent peace from the futile and torturous burden of existence with no risks of trying to die going wrong and leading to way worse agony and torture, it's terrifying to me how there is no limit as to how much one can suffer in this existence, I personally only hope to never exist ever again.

I think mainly because parents want a say in both dates. I imagine they have the strongest voices when it comes to suicide prevention. Very few parents actually want to go through the grief of losing a child- even when their children have become adults.

the government want your obedience and labor or consuming they use money to create a system of compliance it's a closed system maintaining their grip on power you either born into money depend on the welfare system or have to work to earn money either way they do not care about human suffering only money and power

 

[FadingSnowFake]

I don't believe it is wrong. I believe we should be able to press some kind of button and simply opt-out when we decide to. The planet is overpopulated, so many things are wrong with people dying in wars and pandemics and I wonder if the powers that be don't create or allow for these "mass events" to intentionally somehow control the population. I don't think it's fair to keep people here against their wills, while lives are being destroyed at random where people don't have any say in the matter.

Power struggle pervades all. Other people want power over us and to use us for their own benefit.

[Gustav Hartmann]

Only half true, I cannot choose to die in 1000 years.

Most people, the not suicidal ones, can neither choose when to be born nor when to die.

Only half true, I cannot choose to die in 1000 years.

Good point!

To me the only things that matter is me avoiding the most extreme torture and my suicide asap.

I never asked to be birthed into this hell to work so hard only to constantly exist under the threat of the most extreme torture trapping me

Then i want to avoid any kind pain suffering problems bad memories

Only non-existence forever can guarantee I won't suffer extremely, that I never suffer constant unbearable pain
