i once argued in psychology class that suicide made perfect sense for anyone who felt like taking the big plunge.
if we are a society that respects others religious beliefs, then we have to respect athiesm. if someone does not believe in God, Heaven or Hell then there is really little holding them back. On the cosmic timeline, our existence is so insignificant that it our life cannot be measured. You certainly wont be immortalized at Bob the Network Adminstrator... so you may decide to check out early.
people got understandably emotional in class and a few girls began yelling at me that it was the most selfish thing a person could do. i asked why and got the usual answer of hurting friends, family and loved ones.
..so then came the next obvious question. who is really being selfish? the ones who cant respect your decision to jump face first into a wood chipper... or the one who does it? whose decision is it? should one person be forced to live 80 more miserable years out of fear of offending someone or making someone else upset?
i am pro suicide.
billions of lemmings cant be wrong.
