Well that and I believe in an afterlife so what's the point in trading one craptastic existence for another?
Sidenote: Personally the stupidest thing I've ever heard is suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. I tried for the first time when I was 7. 31 years later nothing has ever gotten better. How is that temporary? 
Sorry about that double post. I tried to edit and somehow screwed up. |
That I will totally agree, that is another one of those stupid modern day quotes, that "permanent solution to a temporary problem", as we who have/had depression know it's as permanent as it gets - even if you heal, it changes you forever. You don't get restored to your former self with no trace of what happened, you are scarred forever.
But, I still have to disagree with you though. I still feel like you are only considering how others will be affected if you did it. What about you? Don't you need consideration too?
What is selfishness truly? Define it for me.
