Suicide

[Lord de Lyonesse]

What are your thoughts on suicide.

Is it a good way to go if you feel that life has no meaning anymore?
Or is it selfish and unfair for those around you who have to live with its consequences?

I just wanted to know what people thought.

hey, if your death leaves an increase in album sales and more fans to the band... well, I guess it's fine.

I dont think he cared about what happened in terms of money. But it is kind of moving away from the central theme. Its just i thought i should reference it because i am a Nirvana fan even though i was born 1992 with him dying in 1994 and me aged just 2.

Its the media that spark an interest and create the sales. MJ for example with all the hype about his legacy and stuff. Although for me Kurt Cobain was much much more.

People say that you're being stupid when you say that your life is your own, and that your life belongs to all those that care about you. However, ultimately it is your life and your decision to make if you want to end it. That said, in 90% of suicide cases life probably isn't as bad as people think and there are plenty of ways out of their situation (but then I've never contemplated suicide, so what do I know?). It can't be denied that suicide is pretty horrible to those around you.

It's your life though, to end if you choose.

It's wrong, selfish, unfair and stupid. Considering how much people in third world countries go through and everyday they fight to live and people over here who have everything, take there own lives over petty reasons. I know some people have a genuine case but a 19 year old lad from the town I live in recently took his own life whenever he was dumped by his girlfriend! How stupid is that?

Very. But if that's what he wants to do, he can do it. Sad though.

This has been discussed about a billion times!!!

I see it as one of the ways nature gets rid of unnecessary stuff. I believe that if a person commits suicide that individual was going to be useless, problematic and/or may have caused more harm down the road if they would have continued to live.

I had an uncle who hung himself over a decade ago. His daughter at the time had some "issues." Nowadays, my cousin is a very bright and talented chick (looks great too, too bad we are cousins, why couldn't we have been 5th degree?! ).
