Is suicide ever the answer? in Questions

The knee jerk reaction is “No, of course not.”

But let’s set emotion aside and really think about this…is there a time when suicide is actually the answer?

Is there a time when murder is the answer?

Are the two so different?

Death lives on a spectrum, and within that spectrum murder and suicide live within a spectrum.

If you take a gun to your head and leave a family behind…people will most certainly say that suicide was not the answer in that case.

But if you drink yourself to death over several long years…no one will even see that as suicide, except for a few keen eyes.

What if you happen to deal with overseas nootropics and one day some of them have fentanyl in them.

Is that suicide? Did you kill yourself?
You knew the risks.

Drinking every day…you know the risks.
Smoking cigarettes or cannabis every day…you know the risks.

What about the sports driver who dies in a flaming car crash…was that a suicide?
He knew the risks.

What about just simply giving up? Not drinking any water or eating anything and just laying in bed waiting for death…is that suicide?

Can any of these be justified?

What if you knew that your existence would destroy your family?
What if you know that and you go out into the mountains and you take cold steel to your head
And your wife tells your family it was an accident
And the kids are so young they can’t comprehend, they just know their dad is gone…but they’ll never know why he did it, or that he did it to save them.

Can it ever be justified?

And why are people so scared of suicide?

Is it just playing with God?

I believe that’s why murder, suicide, and these days even having children are scary things to do.

Don’t play god.

Know your place.

Know your fucking place
