Okay, so suicide is a huge "issue" throughout the world.
People may feel like that this is the only option, possibly due to stress, depression or loneliness. Whatever the reason, it is still an "issue".
You may be wondering why I have chosen to use " over the word(s) issue.
That is because, is it really an "issue".
In some cases, yes. But not all.
The most popular quote I have heard to address suicide is:
"Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem".
I understand that the person can seek help, which they will be also aware of as it is made very clear through television adds and social media.
But, what if you honestly have nothing to live for?
Let's create a scenario.
You're an old women/man, you have just been diagnosed with grade 3 cancer.
You are advised to do chemotherapy but are not guaranteed that the cancer can be cured.
Chemo therapy, is probably the hardest part of treating cancer. The person will feel drained, most likely like they're dying.
Let's say you don't have much family, the remaining family members you don't see regularly and do not have much contact with. You're lonely.
What is the point in going through all the pain and seemingly never ending treatment?
In cases like this I believe the person should have the option to be allowed to kill them selves. Obviously in a professional manor such as an injection.
I know some countries do already allow this which is great.
That is just one example of many reasons people may feel like like they wish to commit suicide.
I am not aiming to offend anyone, I am entitled to my own opinion and I am not saying that depression is an easy thing to handle.
Yes, People Can Get Depressed, Sad, Anxious and Even Act Psychotic. That Doesn’t Make Them Mentally “Diseased.”
Why in poor countries are reported rates of depression significantly less than in western countries? We have everything, they have nothing. You’d think that somebody who doesn’t have food for their family would feel pretty fucking depressed, yet no, it’s the western businessman with everything who feels depressed. The superficial reasons could be many, but ultimately it comes down to one thing: the poor man doesn’t have the time to sit there thinking about himself. The poor man spends his time trying to feed himself and/or his family. This gives his daily life meaning, and it removes that infamous word ‘I‘ from his thoughts.
Please note I am not trying to offend anyone or do anything in such manor. I am simply addressing a huge issue in my personal opinion a lot of people may agree or disagree with me. But please, do not choose to "hate" me over my opinion. Let me know your personal views down below. Add more examples if you wish, I will not argue against your opinion because everyone is entitled to their own and I can't change this. Post below, thankyou.
