I was surfing a blog a while ago and there was a post on suicide and how it affected the lives of the friends and families of those that chose to commit. To my amazement there were a few comments on how the suicide was right and it was worth it as he/she is away from stress etc.. I was wondering what you all thought about it. I personally disagree as life is a gift. You don't exchange or kill precious gifts, then why this one? Your views and opinions on this one friends?

It is not a case of deciding if it is right or not in my opinion. It's not that simple. Personally it is not right for me and I could never consider it as an option. If you had of asked me the same thing in the past I would have said the complete opposite. It is a sad, sad situation that with all the possible alternatives there are that it comes to this for some people; but it is what it is. People saying that it was right because the person is now free from stress etc is sad in itself as well. What they SHOULD be thinking is how it was a shame that this person was so desperate and was unable to find solace in others and end these feelings. The attention needs to shift from right or wrong and be more focused on WHY.

The attention needs to shift from right or wrong and be more focused on WHY APPLAUDS!! that is SO TRUE....the ppl left behind need to STOP playing the "whoa is me" game and tossing guilt, blame etc at the one who took their life and instead check themselves and realize they had partial hand in the choice...because the cold hard reality is, THEY DID....I know in my life and the life of others I've known and loved who have successfully killed themselves it IS about ppl dismissing them/us or not REALLY caring about where we are in our heads enough to actually be there and help us etc etc...

Definitely not. I also disagree into euthanasia or mercy killing. Me too, valued life as a gift from God which is no one is allowed to take it except Him. That's only my views. Thanks.

i think it's selfish of a person to do it, it's also a wuss way out of whatever they are dealing with. specaily for the one who finds them and what truma they will suffer from it. i have manic depression i often to wonder about doing myself in, not being to sopport my family and i am not able to enjoy the most out of life. but then once i started to get help from doctors and a pastor i met they shown me my family still loves me. no matter if we gotten hurt or we got an illness like cancer we should fight to live and wanting to heal. also i am a true bleiver you will go to hell for doing it. just a punk way out of life, because God wasn't ready for us

Well I think that life is too precious and that taking it away even if it is your own is not good. Your life is not only precious to you but also to others who value you and love you. I think by taking away your own life it is like stealing too from other people the love that they gave you.

however life come to this world just one time ,recome is impossible.so if someone would give up alive,i think they're stupid because even life full of difficult,challenge or very kind of hot potato,but once you think carefully that if anyone didn't cry as they come to this world?and then after we bring up ,as an adult,face to some pressure,that is just a small case.the key is we can get to the end of life with smile.

I think it's a stupid thing to do, when someone tends to kills himself or herself. The one they trouble most is the love ones, they tends to look away the facts of life and neglect the beauty and the great life awaiting for each individual. God doesn't let people alone to solve alone but he finds a partner to help you solve the problem together.
