>>54740093I'm in the group that says there are almost no good reasons to kill yourself. Maybe if the terrorists are coming and they're going to webm you. Life is great.
Where I differ from most of them is I wont deny that there are factors that, rationally speaking, do support suicide. However, I believe context dominates these factors. When you consider reason X for suicide, which is good and legitimate, it points to a greater context and the greater context informs a decision which is not suicide with a small range of exceptions.
So the decline of western civilization and the immanent dark age definitely contains good and legitimate reasons to commit suicide. I think we witness the reason first then the context. So no gf, a child of miscegenation, no donor organs and blacks on welfare for imaginary mental illnesses, are all problems that present suicide as an option. What they point to is a hopelessness for the future, to which suicide is one of many responses.
However the person that commits suicide is a person of a particular morality. I would say that that person is of a weak morality and we are not hear to live a weak life. So to me we see the reason and the wider context and chose a response of strength because we are strong. Not all choices that are not suicide are strong, and suicide is not always weak, but we must be who we are.
