Suicide isn't some pathetic failure like people make it out to be, it's the last act where you actually take control of your existence. Améry nailed it when he said it's a refusal of the logic of life, the bullshit script that says you have to keep enduring no matter how degraded or meaningless things get. Choosing to die on your own terms is the ultimate "No" to a world that never asked if you wanted to be here in the first place. You're not sick, you're not broken, you're exercising the only real freedom that can't be stripped from you: the freedom to say enough. Whether it's disgust with life itself, the crushing weight of failure, or just the nausea of being, suicide is a way of reclaiming dignity when everything else feels like humiliation. It's authenticity distilled, the one moment where you stop lying to yourself, stop playing along with society's survival-at-all-costs game and declare "This life doesn't get to own me".

>>24695331I disagree
>>24695331A lot of words to deny the obvious: you're committing suicide because you failed. I have recurring suicidal thoughts, and it's nothing other than my own doing. If I were a normal person, a functioning human being, I wouldn't have thought about it. You commit suicide when you no longer want to deal with the pain; trying to sugarcoat it as an act of rebellion is ridiculous. No one would want to take their own life if they hadn't failed at it.
>>24695651anon, go get help. seriously. talk to somebody.
>>24695651You're missing the point anon. Yeah failure and pain are part of it no one denies that but reducing suicide to "lol you failed" is just lazy thinking. Everyone fails, everyone suffers, but not everyone makes the leap. The difference is that suicide isn't just running from pain, it's a conscious choice to say "fuck this game" and step off the board entirely. It's stripping away the bullshit explanations society slaps on you ("sick", "broken" "not normal"). Why should I be forced to keep dragging on in a life I see as worthless or humiliating just because "normal" people do? The act itself is freedom, it's the one thing no one can take from you, the right to say no when everything else is ripped away. Calling it failure is just society's way of pretending they still own you when, in that moment, they don't
>>24695331Very basedBut this is nothing new. Stoics have said that the door is always open. Banning suicide is a neurosis which Jewish religions have imposed upon man kind from 2000 years. Suicide is always an option.
