No one knows what happens when you die, things could get worse after death and in that case suicide is not a solution but rather a next step towards something even worse.
Given that it is currently impossible (as far as I know) to know what happens at death, the decision to suicide is an uninformed decision of tremendous magnitude.
If by killing yourself things get worse, what would be the next step?
Would you be in a better position to turn things around in the afterlife (assuming that there is one) or now in this life?
In summary, the reason why you should not kill yourself is because you do not know what will be the result of that action your death: your death is not a guaranteed solution to anything.
My mother would be truly devestated, and I don’t trust people to take care of my cat the way I want.
My best friend ended his life nearly tw o years ago. I am still mournig and feel like I will never get over it. I cry at least once a week.
Because bad times dont last for ever!
Going on about 20 years of bad times for me.
Life ist the only dramedy about you you’ll ever have, so might as well experience that and with a little bit of Yolo attitude!
Taking action takes effort.
Life is the only thing a human is guaranteed to have - and, as far as I’m concerned, we only get it once. To finish it early seems a terrible waste. It’s the only thing we’ll ever get to do. Might as well give it a bit of a go… it’s not like it goes on for ever, anyway.
Because things will get better.
Because I want to outlive my enemies.
That next great show is only like 5 years away
Good things can’t happen anymore. You might also say that bad things can’t happen either, but if it’s over then there’s no opportunity at all. Life can change as long as it’s there.
Who is going to change the smoke alarm battery?
A lot of life is about perspective. I have a checklist, of things that make life worth it for me. They’re gonna vary from person to person, obviously, but when I get super depressed, I go through my checklist in my head. I have cats that depend on me and I value their wellbeing. I have relationships with people I care about and want to see. (and kids I want to see grow up) There’s still things I want to learn, places I want to see, and things I want to do. Small things, too, like wanting to see the end of a show or enjoy a favorite food. Life has it’s hardships, but it also has a lot of things we get to enjoy - and I want to be strong enough to live through the hardships to enjoy the good things. Idk man it all probably sounds kind of cheesy, but watching the sunset brings me a lot of joy. Life doesn’t have to be perfect to be worth living.
You can always end it later, so stick around a little longer and see how things play out.
This is my philosophy too. If you’re gonna do it then there’s no harm in doing something fun first, and if it’s still bad tomorrow you can finish it then. Having suicide as an option always on the table is a bit freeing, honestly. Momento mori and all that.
Weaponized procrastination, I like it
Everything ends and everything changes.
Might as well see what will come your way.
You can’t piss off the haters if you’re dead.
