First I must say I am very relieved to see that the vast majority of people on the internet know better than to make accusations like "suicide is selfish and cowardly", and when there's an insensitive asshole out there who makes such a claim, he gets torn to pieces by almost everyone. This is a huge relief, because in real life, it always seemed to me to be the complete other way around, since those who were going through suicidal thoughts kept them to themselves, when others who were vocal would claim that "suicide is selfish and cowardly". I'm very glad to see that everyone is speaking out online, and they almost all agree with me, that these accusations are completely and totally wrong, and the people who say such things are some of the most despicable human beings on the planet.
The reality is, anyone who makes these accusations is himself INSANELY selfish. Think about it for a minute. The person who would call a friend "selfish" for committing suicide, is claiming that he is personally hurt and effected negatively by the suicide, and that therefore that person wronged them. I can't even express just how deplorable and disgusting this type of claim is. I mean, it's really, seriously fucking mind blowing.
Let's start with this. If you consider someone a friend of yours who you value, then SURELY you should respect and value their need for relief from the pain that they are going through. Consider just how remarkably selfish you would have to be to demand that that person stays on living just so YOU can suck more value out of their existence. I just...cannot comprehend the level of repugnance coming from anyone who would say such things. Not only are you acting insanely selfish, but then you have the nerve to say the opposite.
I'm kind of getting emotional as I write this post so I won't continue much more. I'll just end with this. If I believed in hell, then anyone who ever called a victim of suicide a "coward" would be truly deserving to burn in hell for being so unbelievably insensitive and ignorant. NEVER, EVER attack the character of someone who is suffering from mental illness.
