What's so bad about suicide? Why do people think they are morally superior because they are against it?

    It's not a question of moral superiority, it's sad when someone feels they have no other options but to end there life, and the family and friends left behind feel a sense of guilt that they didn't notice how they were feeling that they could have been more supportive, i don't think people commit suicide because they want to die it's because they want to stop the pain.

    Suicide is bad for the family and friends involved in the aftermath. They are left with a lot of questions, anger, hurt, and confusion at the individual that killed themselves.

    Yes, you're offing yourself and done with life and taking the eternal nap, but what about the people that care about you that you left behind?

    I don't think I'm morally superior because I'm PERSONALLY against offing MYSELF, but I do think that suicide is something very VERY sad, depressing, and just morally wrong on a whole.

    What's bad is that it's an unnecessary end to a life. Plus it tears a real hole in the people who loved the victim. I don't know anyone who's admitted feelings of superiority over this.

    Look at it this way. Visit a cemetery. A special corner reserved for babies and children. Look at the names and the dats of death. Count how long they lived. And say to yourself here i am alive i made it. Here they are dead cut down in infantcy or childhood never given the chance i did to live. to see the sun.to walk in the tall grass. To feel the breeze of a summers day on my face. Then if tou still feel like suicide your welcome to end your life. But thonk about those who never had the chance to feel what you feel

    Go ahead anyone....off yourself

    However, we only get one life. Too, I do believe there is an afterlife, and

    one has to consider that and biblical references to the importance of life
