Ha- it's like something a deranged child would say at the start of a horror film, but it was to do with a poem I couldn't remember- fret not/ be disappointed.
I was pretty shocked though as to what came up for someone who was actually seeking the subject matter, it had lots of prevention if you count "you'll burn in hell" "everyone has a purpose" and "there is no purpose to life" as help. Not to mention methods and their downfalls.
The best had to be this random little suicide prevention website which was the only one which actually said, people who want to commit suicide usually just want to stop feeling pain, they're not evil or immoral. I couldn't believe that all the rest just said "you'll get through it for the better" or "you'll be damned", if anything there were a lot of atheist approaches which were more encouraging, once you die there'll be nothing left- well that's the idea isn't it?
I personally think there isn't much more to this one life, I don't know if you ring around like reincarnation, but I don't think you remember your past. I don't think people should commit suicide though, why should the bastards get you down eh? After all, the world is not a small place, it's pretty vast, and you can leave and pick up on who you want to be whenever you feel like it. People say you shouldn't run away from your problems, but ultimately people do it everyday and sometimes you have to, you're not going to see the aftermath of a suicide, you are never going to feel painless or in-conflicted, you'll never feel free of what you are feeling. I think that's why people interpret that you go to hell when they say "damned" what it actually means is that you'll always be inconclusive.
People need to stop being so opinionated on suicide though, it's not a philosophical thing, it's a painful disturbing process that is very common, getting help can be comfort enough for some people, the realisation that the problems they have are solvable or maintainable or even that they are natural.
The biggest fault in all culture and faith is damnation, no one can condemn you but yourself, it is your own actions and beliefs that do it, this doesn't mean you should go axe happy on people because we are a progressive, intelligent animal and should understand the true meaning of morality, sympathy, empathy and justice; but yet there are people out there who devise sexuality, mentality and personality as moral things. How can you moralise an instinctive pattern? There are certain aspects to people which are immoral and perhaps disturbed, but people perceive thought as the crime rather than the action. No thought is a crime, some thoughts are not right (i.e. paedophiles who believe statuary rape/ suffering of children is excusable by the thoughts they have), but if they do not act on the thoughts or do not wish to and simply want help what should we do then? Psychological illnesses need to stop being taboo, people can't condemn a whole practice and percentage of the world the right to have their problems solved as much as anybody with cancer or even a cold.
Suicides problem is not the religious (misguided) hatred and dismissal, but of the scientific prostitution of depression, the countless prostitution of patients for the pleasure of government, religious and advantageous beliefs. If scientists hadn't lobotomised, electrocuted, drugged, misdiagnosed and experimented on people in the later half of last century, people would be far from relating psychological illness as something of a violation of the soul. Treating women as hysterical for everything bar being alive and yet never once owning up to the atrocities done upon them, gay people treated the same (if not worse) as people who have committed murder, depressed patients with complete memory and functionality loss due to vile and unsafe experiments. The problem isn't in understanding that science and technology progress, but in that their were specific violations done and yet no proof that they won't be repeated again and again.
Not to be judgemental but this is mainly in america, where you don't seem to have any safety license for much of anything, where there is now a massive industry in seeing a psychologist every week, probably because people believe this will prevent them of ever having to deal with severely unpleasant emotion. Hopefully it works, but for the hopeless there is nothing but accusation and ignorance.
