Quote from: Plotmaster on March 10, 2015, 03:47:19 PMThere's only a few certain circumstances where suicide could be even remotely considered a 'brave' thing to do.Most cases aren't.What the fuck are you talking about? Me fetching a bowl of crunchy nut cornflakes is not a cowardly act, simply by virtue of it not being brave and vice versa. It's neutral.

the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
To the folks in here talking about cowardice and heroicness, trying to banter and decide which is which, I say this. Until you've had a foot hanging off the edge of a radio tower and you're leaning down over the rails, letting your hands slip because you no longer care what happens,Your say is invalid.Suicide, and depression, is neither brave, or selfish. True depression, leading to suicide is a mental override. Everything around you goes grey. It has no meaning. It's tiring. You're so low, that nothing has a point, nothing has an impact. There's no fear. No hesitation.Bravery, and heroism, comes from fear. When you're brave, you're afraid. When you commit an act of suicide in war, a suicidal charge, jumping over a grenade and so on, you're afraid.A true, deep seeded depression and suicide that comes from it, is the result of a person no longer having any constraints like fear, or regret, or even a survival instinct. It's all completely overridden and replaced with grey.Of course, suicide has many perpetrators. Pain, sadness, misery, an unstable emotional balance.But it is not cowardly. Nor is it brave.
Your say is invalid.

Hundreds of years ago it was Zeus and Co. And people were considered fools back then for doubting their existence. He doesn't exist.

Suicide is cowardly.Deciding not to go through with it, however, is among the bravest things one can do.

"A god" exists because without him life is pointless.
