Its not for you to say if its okay. Its outright idiocy to treat all suicides as the same as they are not. I've never understood the people condemning suicide because its selfish and to think of the family/friends. How is it not every bit as selfish to feel that people should give up their free will just because you care about them? There are some that I would absolutely agree are selfish (for instance taking others with you or making someone else kill you for instance), and yes, I'd say its pretty selfish if you leave behind people that depend on you (like kids) but I definitely would not make absolutes and condemn everyone.
The last part is just ridiculous absurdity. Clearly killing himself would have maimed his kid more.  I don't even know why you said patience, but whatever. |
Of course its fine for us to say its not OK. If they are not a member of the Chiefs Planet message board or never read this thread, then whatever, but for those who do: you'd better be crazy or dying. If not, then know that when you go, that you are damaging your family more than you can ever imagine, and that many of those who survive you WILL NOT REMEMBER YOU FONDLY, at all.
A lot of people in their depression have a stupid fantasy of how things will go when they kill themselves, and they need to be slapped with the truth. You'll hurt people you didn't want to hurt, and people who like you now, will dislike you later and will speak ill of you when your name is brought up.
