People Who Hang Themselves

[Cunt]

They don't write "suicide while the balance of the mind was disturbed" on death certificates for no good reason.

One of the reasons being the tradition that victims of suicide were buried outside the graveyard. The Church "forgave" the act only when supposing that the person had been temporarily insane.

I think much of the attitudes toward suicide are from religious mores, plus a bunch of selfish whining from 'survivors' who would rather not face the reality that not everyone values their life.

I advocate respect for life which, to me, must include the right to end it at will.

and why should you value your life when all your existence is in the shits and the only perspective you can perceive for your future is more suffering and nothing to make it worthwhile?

Why? There are many reasons, but if someone can't or won't find them, life would be a bleak prospect indeed.

No matter how valuable I think it is, I wouldn't force someone to enjoy it.

Bleak doesn't even describe it... there are bleak landscapes that still have beauty, but to somebody in the throes of deep depression, beauty is something they can't even see in an art masterwork near their deam partner prancing naked in front of them and begging for sex.

I have had a sip of such. I don't think I can imagine living with it every day...

back to the O/T though, do you think, as I do, that hanging is popular because it is popular?

There was a suggestion on 4chan that someone decapitate themselves and make it look like they tore their own head off...silly as it is, I expect it will happen...

Hanging? my guess is it's popular because it's easy to perform at home.

When you're that deep down, you may not even be up to going to the nearest body of water to throw yourself into it.

And while there are recorded cases of people slitting their own throats, not everybody will have a firm enough hand to do it... hanging, if from a doorknob has the advantage that when you've started, it's darn hard to stop it.

I had not considered that depression causing people to stay home might have an effect (TOLD you I had a tough time imagining) interesting slant on it, Svartalf.

well, my problem is that I'm too afraid of stopping to even get the balls to perform the act (that and I'm not sure the pharmaceuticals I have at hand would perform the job, and don't want to deal with the bother of doing it wrong)

I would suggest that a failed attempt would bring much attention to you. If it were me, I would rather not have that kind of attention.

Your fear of failure may lead to some interesting reasons to keep going, though. For instance, you may, just by participating in this thread, open someone's eyes to the fact that people have the right to spend their lives. That, while maybe not improving your lot, improves mine and everyone elses. Thanks.
