In A Showdown With The Program I Present Through

In that case, I agree, the mental disease can be rough and cause a person to not think clearly and take drastic actions like suicide, which is tragic.  Again, you and they have my sympathy.  

What I'm referring to, though, and is what my presentation refers to as wanting to end it to get out of my suffering, is that suicide is taking the easy way out.  I may be brain damaged, but, for the most part, I was all with it and just wanted suicide as a way out and to get away from my suffering.

Take for instance my friend, Kevin Martella: anyone in Greater Cincinnati might remember when his dad was found guilty of stealing $100,000 worth of cigarettes and then killed himself to avoid the consequences.  That is taking the easy way out, rather than dealing with your problems.  His son, my friend, later killed himself, which further proves how selfish it was for his old man to kill himself.

Yep.  I'm thinking of either just stating before or after my presentation that all suicides are different and not all can be considered taking the easy way out, or just bending over and letting them rewrite my presentation but only using that copy for when I present through them.  

I'd feel like such a sell-out, though, but I guess sometimes in life that's what has to be done.  


See, that's different because being mentally ill or delusional isn't the same as just not wanting to fight and not caring what your suicide will do to other people.  I know some people do it because they think people around them will be better off, but it only takes one person to wish you hadn't done it to make it a selfish act.

You do have my sympathies, though, and I hope that she has found peace and I hope that your family has, also.

Thank you and I agree with you. I do think suicide is selfish in most cases.
