Discussion Why do you think suicide is such a tabu?

[accidentaldeath]

I was just reading the news, when I came with a new about suicide due to the recent events of suicide by famous people. A well known person in my country, which was a famous judge and president of one of the most important courts, said: "Is a tragedy that overcomes the mere fact of death, it has something unnatural and generates social embarrasment"

Why is suicide seen so bad, from my point of view, everybody should be responsible of their life, and do whatever they want with it, if you just want to go, it's okay while you don't injure or directly affect someone (not only emotionally).

Why do you think suicide is seen as such a bad action? I think it's primary because religion has prohibited suicide from long time ago, mainly because some time ago, if poor people which lived in bad condition and worked for richer people, suicided, there wouldn't be people to do the jobs other people don't want to. Also, in religion, if people suicided, they couldn't spread the religion. But that's just my opinion, what do you think about it?

Religion, economic interests, lack of empathy

 

[Life sucks]

Various programs to control the people including religion and economy. Some people are also assholes who don't care and some people just can't think and have deduction and logic so they follow others and the mumbo-jumbo.

That's because if suicide is viewed as normal then the government must admit there are real problems and things are gonna have to change. Government wants people to be content with how bad they have it.

 

[Sonnenblume]

Because people are stupid and borg-like.

 

[Lastdays]

Because more people would do it.

 

[Kogoruhn]

Religion is to blame, always putting stones in the way of progress. Life in this planet would be better without it

Because that is the will of the companies. Churches also don't want their donors decreasing. Why do churches demonize masturbation but not sex, to shut down spiritual awakening via being high and increase people that go to church.

Completly agree, the problem is for our families, making suicide such a bad thing, they can feel shame about us and don't overcome it just as a normal death.
