comment 2- taking your own life

in respones to http://stundreded.blogspot.com/

I believe taking your own life is the cowards way out because the individual think that suicide would cure their own problems and do not think about the people they are leaving behind. From experience I can tell you that when someone is contemplating suicide they are not in a healthy mental state and often are suffering from depression and are not treated with the disorder so have unresolved mental issues. They feel at rock bottom and commit suicide as a long term sentence to a short term problem and the pain is underlying in their brain which is escalating and is why people should seek help before it gets too much for them to handle. I think suicide is wrong as they are using the wrong device to cure their problems. I disagree with you as you say suicide is courageous because for example someone addicted to alcohol should seek help rather than letting alcohol take over them which is more courageous than taking their own life because they are fighting back rather than giving in or if someone lost someone they loved and try and carry on with their own lives although this may be extremely difficult this is more courageous than taking their own.

Imagine if your son/daughter committed suicide, how would you feel? Guilty is what most people would say because they feel that they failed their child or if the person left children or grandchildren behind, they would feel something in their life Is missing which can have severe effects on they sub consciously, this feeling lasts a lifetime therefore the act is extremely selfish.

People do not open up and talk about their problems which reinforces the thoughts of suicide, especially men who usually bottle up their problems, people who commit suicide don’t understand the fact “there is always light at the end of the tunnel” and they believe that their life revolves around a certain problem and don’t understand there is more to it, people need to be educated about the value of life.
