Suicide....
It's one's personal decision. On when, where and how to end one's own existence.
It's not a thing to be taken lightly, however it's a very personal thing, thus perhaps thought of by others usually as a selfish thing to do.
All a point a view.
But it's a matter of personal choice. Many never understand nor accept this, the motivations, as above all they are not the one that is ending his/her life. Each of us is an individual.
The ones left behind, the aftermath of any suicide, full of sorrow with a tint of confusion, anger and betrayal. Understandable entirely indeed....
Suicide is an act commonly undertaken due to extreme mental anguish and agony. A condition empathised with by people around the person contemplating such an act, and many say and live in hope that medical aid may cure all.
Yet. Often, medical aid is mostly selective and vastly incompetent. The patient usually knowing a lot more than, say, psychiatrists assigned to treat them.
It is not a case of weakness or courageous, right or wrong, giving up or not, misguided or not, as often, an argument can be made both ways...
Traditionally, attempted suicide is largely a last ditch delay and a scream for assistance. The ones who feel, rightly or wrongly, they do not have the assistance they want or need, often go on to become successful cases of suicide. These are ones no-one could have foreseen nor prevent, and are acts carried out by determined individuals believing death is the only way and is far better than continuing to breath.
Death is final. Ghosts, hell or heaven, whatever...but death is final physically. There is no coming back. Which makes to be quite appealing to those that are sick of plodding on in life for whatever reason.
There is a certain stigma to suicide. Implanted into Western society by religion. The belief that those who commit suicide would face eternal damnation.
In the East, mostly it's seen differently. In Japan, it used to be considered an honour and duty among captured or defeated Samurai warriors, and a legitimate ending for rape victims. In the Middle East, everyone's rather familiar with the concept of suicide bombers.
"All life is precious and worth living" ...a debatable concept pending on circumstances.
