My guess is that the burden must be worse for the person who commmits suicide. Or they wouldn't bother, would they? And similarly, if the burden is so great for those around them, why don't they kill themselves too?
It comes down to the fact that most people don't want to acknowledge their incredible privilege in being relatively unburdened by depression, I think.
I happen to know attempting suicide can be quite severely painful. Most people who try do not risk it lightly. And much of the time, in my experience, it's those "people around you" who are to blame for the person wanting to die in the first place. If we're being honest, most of us don't truly do everything we reasonably can to help those with aspirations towards suicide. Many people act as some of those in this comment section are, telling people they're being selfish and weak. How the fuck on Earth does that help matters? And before you assume I only care about myself or something, my best friend just killed himself a few months ago and I cried nonstop for days. I still support his right to do what he did.
It becomes blindingly obvious to me when a person has no idea what it's like living with chronic treatment resistant depression as soon as they open their mouths. It's just ignorance and priviliege and a total misunderstanding of the problem to blame someone who is suicidal for wanting to end their own suffering.
Sorry, but you don't get it. Not all of us enjoy life that much. If I'm not getting what I want out of life, who are you to say that I have to stick around? It's perfectly reasonable to want to kill yourself given certain circumstances that are darker than I care to elaborate on right now, and you have no business saying otherwise. It should be up to the one suffering to decide when they've had enough. If you can't wrap your head around that, my guess is that you just haven't suffered enough. Everyone has their limit. I'm glad you are apparently far from yours but again, not all of us are so lucky.
As someone who has survived 5 or so serious attempts, I can say that it's not actually that easy unless you're a masochist, and that this comment thread strikes me as quite ignorant.
Ethical? Depends what he is saying, and whether it's true/reasonable or not. I think you meant to ask whether it's still politically correct, and the answer would be 'probably not'.
I am very afraid of this. In a sense, we may be the country that is least able to fight back. Imagine the the U.S. military-industrial complex operating at full-strength with its sights set on the resistance, with the support of our world-class surveillance apparatus. What hope do we have against any of it? Without some hivemind-like ability to coordinate ourselves, we are probably pretty doomed. And surely if not, China and Russia will be waiting to take further advantage of a weakened U.S.A. in the event of any inroads made towards dethroning the existing regime. I fear they would be fairly successful.
Privacy policies as designed clearly are not sufficiently warning users about the risks of using certain software then, and something constructive should be done about it instead of victim-blaming.
That was pretty insensitive and pretty ignorant of the reality of life for some of us here. This is a mental health thread. Comments like yours aren't needed. The commenter you responded to didn't elaborate beforehand so you just assumed away a whole host of possible valid explanations for why they feel they are dying slowly; way to go. Next time please be more thoughtful if you can?
It is also to assist the computational photography features with the task of simulating the effects of a larger sensor. Generally speaking, information from multiple lenses/sensors is used to apply the selective defocus effect in portrait mode.
Having heard very few people espouse that opinion (which I share), I appreciate that you shared it. Somehow it seems very rare that parents consider their children's capacity for suffering before insisting that they exist without the chance to be asked if they actually want such an existence. Everyone just rolls the dice without truly knowing what they're getting into and assumes that "of course my kids will enjoy life, they're mine." It needs to change, in my opinion.
