Venting "People who suicide is coward"

[Aknu132]

They say that people who kill themselves are cowards. Well, I want to be a coward just like them. I'm tired of having this supposed courage to be alive; it's only hurting me. I want to be a real coward and end my pain once and for all. If they judge me later, I'll already be dead, so I don't care.

Everyone is a coward towards something or someone. EVERYONE.

Don't mind the rhetoric. Its just projection.

Anybody who says suicide victims are cowards obviously doesn't have a damn clue what they're talking about when it comes to the subject. It's also an unhelpful, untrue, and cruel thing to say. I don't think very highly of those people.

I've known at least two people who have said this unironically. :/

Being able to overcome survival instincts is anything but cowardly.

I don't think it's cowardly at all, I think it takes a lot of courage & bravery to face the action of suicide, and the aftermath. It's my view that suicide is a final act of self love.

if killing oneself is cowardly then let me be a coward in peace

3 Things:

1. "You cannot please everyone; control the things you can control." ~Suncha Ferriera (Victus Group)

2. The grass withers, the flowers fade, because the breath of the Lord blows upon it; surely the people are grass.
The grass withers, the flowers fade, but the word of our God stands forever. (Isaiah 40:7-8)

3. As much as I desire to live, and that a world without me would be awfully dull and grey, this isn't up to me; if I die, I die; though my father, mother, and the whole world forsake me, the Lord will bring me up. (Esther 4:11, Psalm 27:10)

I wonder whom this rhetoric is supposed to help. Most certainly not the people who are so fundamentally fucked they are about to commit suicide

I prefer the lazy sack of shit's way out, cause hell ya I'm a lazy sack of shit, I'm gonna be outta here while they're still here. Working their 9-5 with overtime, probably barely scrapping buy.

And honestly they aren't much better, humans are too scared to fight for change now. They need another revolution, especially with the AI stuff going on.

If it is cowardly, then i am a coward lol. Such a stupid thing to say, because it takes so much courage to accept that your life will end, and you will be the one to end it

I think part of the issue is how/ whether we value life. I would want to say to them that they simply place more worth on life and experiencing it than I do. Would they play a game they know has been rigged so that they would lose? The game involves suffering with little to no reward. Now do they want to play it?

What are they doing with their lives that make them so brave and important? What do they think I should be doing with my life that would have such an impact on this world? Do they realistically think I can achieve that?

If the reason for us to stay is for the sake of other people- so as not to hurt them. Yes- that makes sense. But- to reframe it- why can't those people accept that we're suffering and want to leave? How is that a loving or caring action? To want us to stay here and experience pain. Why do they need us to stay? Because they can't cope without us? Because they fear the pain of losing us? Who's the coward now?

It's a double standard too. Basically- man up and face your life. You can cope with anything. Don't die because I can't cope with your death. Why do they assume we are stronger than them?
