I've never personally found any argument against suicide that really convinces me. The more philosophy I read, the more many common objections seem based on instinct or emotion rather than careful reasoning. When people call suicide "murder" or "unnatural" they often ignore that a right to life should also include the right to give it up, and that nature itself isn't a moral authority. If it were, we wouldn't use medicine to prevent or delay natural deaths. The claim that suicide is selfish also feels very one-sided. It can just as easily be seen as selfish to expect someone to keep living with unbearable mental or physical suffering simply so others don't have to feel grief. None of us chose to be born, and being stuck in a life that has become intolerable is a tragedy, not a moral failure. I think society has a strong optimism bias that makes people assume life is better than it really is for everyone. When someone experiences life mainly as a heavy burden, ending their life can be a rational way to take back control over something they never chose.

You are contrary to nature, you’re an abomination. You should have your tongue ripped out and your eyes put out. And then You should be tied to the back of a pickup truck and dragged down the highway.

The argument is that suicidal thoughts are temporary.
Stop ruminating on it, and tomorrow you won't have those thoughts.

Reincarnation makes sense really. Whats more plausible you die and its just nothing? Or you die and whatever eyes your seeing through changes? You probably come back as a billion bugs and ahit before you get something with a real lifespan and even then its probably a Chipmunk or something.

>bored bourgeois cattle too materially well off to care about abrahimst monotheism steal the infinite cycle of reincarnation from jeetoid east indian religions because it's comforting compared to just dying and it all being over
>ignore the part where by those religions infinite lives are infinite suffering and the whole point is to achieve extinction in life and dissolve into nothingness after death, leaving no embers behind once your flame goes out so that no new one can start

Suicide is the end result of having made yourself a false idol, and you worship yourself as God. You are frustrated by the fact that you believe you are God but you don't have God-like powers to manifest your will. You are unable to create abundance (water into wine) or raise the dead. You are proceeding through life confused why you are not receiving what your selfish ego believes that you deserve, and are angered by your inability to manifest it.
Suicide is the last act of the self-worshipping God. In his vain attempt to act as God by ending life.

>ahhh noooo I can't just not exist. Ahhhh. I'm probably too important! Right? RIGHT! I won't die the universe needs me. It wouldn't make any sense if I just like disappeared or something. It's inconceivable. >>524480153
Eh, you'll get to spend infinite time being dead. No need to rush into it.

Depression doesn’t come and go however, it stays. Every day feels either extremely painful or completely empty with no real relief in between.
