Would CTB out of revenge or spite be morally wrong?

[gravesfrommiami]

This is something I've been thinking about for quite a while and i don't know if it would be morally okay to CTB out of spite or revenge.


I know some people have said it doesn't really matter because you'll be dead but i honestly don't know i need opinions.

I for one don't judge people for why they choose to do it. Hell I knew someone with massive amount of debt and back taxes owed. I was like I get it. But as for moral reasons… I mean whatever a persons reasons for doing it is their own. If they have made up their minds that they want to ctb then that's up to them. It's not for others to judge.

Would it be morally wrong? I can't say that it would necessarily be morally wrong, as CTB itself is not necessarily immoral (yes, some philosophies or religions would say it is, but ignoring that atm). However, I would say CTB for the sake of spite or revenge would be kind of pointless because if that is the only reason you are doing it, there are many other better ways of getting revenge than CTB. I would never judge someone for choosing CTB for any reason; after all, it is fully within each person's right to decide what they do with their body and life. I would suggest considering other options because if you still have the chance for an alright life ahead of you, ending it for the sake of revenge just doesn't seem worth it.

Just my opinion, and it should 100% be taken with a grain of salt. You do what's best for you, mate.

I won't speak on morals because everyone has a different moral compass but If that is the ONLY reason you are CTBing then you shouldn't. Better ways of being spiteful than CTBing that are less drastic. At the end of the day it's your choice and since you are on this site I can only assume you have complex reasons for wanting to CTB but if by chance you really are thinking about CTBing just to spite someone else I don't think its worth it.

Don't worry i wouldn't CTB out spite or anything it was just an idea thats been in my mind for awhile.

If it's with malicious intent then I'd say so however if it isn't it's your life and your choice what to do with it. If it's an informed decision that's all that matters to me.

Guess it depends on how badly or intentionally you were hurt to begin with. All I would say is- if you were intentionally hurt- do you suppose the perpetrators would actually care that much? They either made an excuse to themselves to hurt you to begin with or- they did it intentionally with no concern for you. I imagine- chances are, they would be able to pull the same mental gymnastics with your death- maybe. I'm not convinced that people who hurt people do feel all that much remorse about it. They likely convince themselves they were/are in the right.

I don't see how suicide could be morally wrong, but one should only ctb if they personally have a desire to leave. Others are insignificant, and shouldn't have this kind of control over another's life.

When I was younger, part of what I wanted to get by doing CTB was to make those who hurt me experience pain, but I no longer think like that. I honestly don't think it's bad to make others suffer for the pain they caused you. I just don't think it will be effective in every case. You don't know how people will react to your death. Who knows? They might even end up by being happier without you. In the end, it would be best for you to stay alive to see how these people are doing.

 

[wristcutangel]

not morally wrong, although i wouldn't recommend doing something as drastic as throwing away your life for spite, as someone who's considered it myself.

 

[Livingvsdying25]

Everyone mortals are dif so that aside I don't think anyone killing themselves outta spite would be doing it purely outta spite anyway.


Like what's underneath or inbetween that spite? What experiences created it? That's the kinda thing I consider. Most people ain't worth it to kill ourselves over but honestly who's to really say? I knew someone who went through the most disgusting horrible etc forms of abuse from their parents. If they wanted to kill themselves outta spite personally I wouldn't see anything wrong with that per say.

So I guess it just depends we are all different and we hurt for different reasons.

I again will say I doubt that it would just be spite motivating one to kill oneself sooo yee

Imo do why feels right for u but think about within your own reasons & experiences.

I don't think that suicide could ever be "wrong", it's always a personal decision when to leave and we all have our right to die, suicide could never even need a reason and it's always up to the individual and after all, we will all die someday whether there is a reason behind it or not.

Yes, it is morally ok to CTB either out of revenge or spite

 

[HopefulSleep]

Sorry that I don't understand but how should ctb out of revenge work?
How should people who hurt you get hurt by you ctb'ing?

 

[todiefor]

I don't judge for any reason, it's very personal. But I will say that if you are hoping that they would feel bad or be traumatised you might be out of luck, what if they are happy you ctbed, what if it makes their lives easier and better, what if other people piled sympathy on them while you are dead, if your whole reason was to spite this person then that would really be a unnecessary tragedy for you.

In that case it would be more morally wrong for you than for the person you are trying to spite

It depends on what the details are? What's your story? Who do you want to spite and why?

 

[Wehmut]

Wouldn't say that it is wrong to ctb as revenge but just a bit dumb. At least for me I know I would only ctb for myself. Ending your life because of other people would mean that you give those people a lot of power over you.

 

[アホペンギン]

The reason for ctb doesn't matter, as long as its a valid reason I don't think it was wrong to ctb. Its what they thought was best for them, their opinion comes first before anyone else's.

 

[SexyIncél]

Here, suicide is a tactic. Whether it's a moral tactic depends on its predictable outcomes. That's how we evaluate any tactic

 

[brownbear]

If revenge isnt the only reason for ctb, i think its absolutely legitimate to do so. Though i believe that one very likely has other struggles in life to consider to ctb as an act of revenge (as there are many other options to seek revenge, like murder). Have you read Anna Karenina (Tolstoi)? The protagonist also kills herself as an final act of revenge, after suffering and not seeing a solution to her hopeless situation. Its a great book, could relate to the protagonist quite a bit sometimes.
