Possible Trigger. Please read with care:


Usually when folks contemplate suicide they aren't thinking how it'll effect those around them... they just want to get rid of the long term pain they have been feeling. Some people even think everyone would be better off without them and suicide is their only option. It depends on the situation. One can turn it around and say it's selfish for wanting to keep one alive because they don't want to let them go. But I'm thinking that on a end where someone is in a vegetative state and terminally ill. It depends on the situation and honestly nothing is ever black and white. There's always exceptions.

Trigger warning for those with love ones who passed on 911:

The jumpers on 911. They killed themselves before the fire/smoke/collapse of the towers did but to say that was a selfish act is beyond ignorance of the situation and overpowered with a strong "moral" belief. The jumpers on 911 I see as hero's themselves by making that choice. They chose to jump knowing that they were going to die. Instead of letting the enemy kill them with a horrible death they freed themselves by jumping despite how scary that must of been.
Thanks for this!
