Ok, so my dad was supposed to be coming to visit me today. He left Exeter to head for Bristol with good time to spare. He should have got here with no problems. BUT, some **** went and threw themselves off a motorway bridge over the M5 and therefore delayed traffic because they had to close and clean up the road and so my dad had to miss his flight. Fucking bastard whore, burn in limbo.
Someone did that on the dual carriageway the other day. Jumped off to commit suicide, make a truck crash and someone to be devastated by a 50 mile an hour splat across the windscreen that then caused them to crash too, causing my mate to have to wait for an hour while they scrape off the mess. Suiciders should be hung if you ask me.
My cousin jumped out of a building a couple of years back. I think suicide is probably one of the most selfish acts someone can commit. I'm not saying that the person is bad, or weak, or even morally judging them. But objectively, it is an intensely selfish act....
I doub't many of them are thinking straight, they are extremely miserable. And they can get rid of the pain. It sounds quite a good option when your not thinking straight I should imagine
ive thought about death alot, i wouldnt do it, but it does seem a better option than the misery in life...im highly emotional and when everything gets me down and im living in a messy house becasue i cant even find the motivation to go make a cup of tea, and the washing up is still there from two weeks ago, and my head is screwed up with stuff and all i feel is an aching unhappiness, making it all go away seems like a really good idea. it scares me sometimes that i am gonna hafta live my way through life, because i find it hard...but there are just too many people who love me to do that to them...and right now, despite the incredible amount of shit happening around me, ive actually started iceskating regularly and taking classes and i love it so much, it makes me really smile
Good to see you're still smiling. Ice skating's pretty good fun when you learn to spend more time on your feet than the floor. Always worried someone's going to slice my fingers off though....
I don't think suicide is selfish but like another poster here said, people do it when they cannot think straight and can see no other way out of their problems. I can only feel sympathy and empathy for that poor soul AND the people caught up in the aftermath. A motorway bridge was a pretty stupid place to do it, perhaps hanging from a tree or a bridge high up over water would have been less messy!! I once took at an overdose of Paracetamol (75 of the things) and yuked it all back up again about half an hour later and for the next two days. Probably the most ill advised decision I ever made and the luckiest escape. I was 13 and it seemed like a good idea at the time.
Suicide is selfish when you throw yourself in front of cars/trains etc. Think about the people you are gonna fuck over afterwards and I ain't just talking about the family....
I'm glad you came out of that ok! I didn't say I thought suicide was selfish to be judgemental or moralistic, or even to suggest that it is wrong. I believe in legalising euthanasia for example. However, by the very definition of the word, it is selfish. It is an act you make for you and you alone. For my cousin, his pain stopped when he hit the ground. For the rest of the family, it'll never go away. Perhaps it was the only way he saw out for himself. We'll never know. Selfish acts are not necessarily wrong. We must look after ourselves, it's a natural instinct. But I think it would be hard to define suicide as anything other than selfish....
one of my husband's friends hacked and slashed himself to death a couple months ago. he was dead in his apartment for 2 days before anyone found him. there was blood EVERYWHERE. he was supposed to have a supervised visitation with his son, which he'd never miss, which is how anyone knew he was missing. he was schizophrenic. terrible sad thing. now his son has to live with that info. sad all around.
