re: Why is suicide considered such a bad thing?

quote:

If you think that it's selfish you have never felt truly suicidal, which of course is a good thing. But just so you know that is so not true and counter to the real mindset of someone that is suicidal.

The act itself is what’s selfish. The person doing it is clearly in a dark place and doesn’t realize it (and might even be rationalizing to convince themselves it’s a selfless thing to do), but it’s still a selfish act.

I get the pain and despair. But when a person ends theirs, they cause a lot of pain and despair for everyone around them.
