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.

If you kill yourself, then you cannot spend the rest of your life making those around you completely miserable. If you take solace in the suffering of others, then consider the pain and disappointment you won't be able to cause.

If it's money related then yes you are just feeding the Jewish cabal demiurge if it's because you are gay or something then no

Why suicide when you can die a Heldentod if death is all the same?

2026 Might be a fun wild year. I just hope my life ends fighting draco reptilians or something fun.

no, when you're a schizo the rational brain, which is the one having to take the brunt of life and of which you have direct control, doesn't want to live anymore it absolutely should take over the desire to survive of the subconscious brain, which you can only marginally influence but has enormous influence on your rational persona, making your life miserable and kill itself.
The moment you're dead you immediately stop existing, which isn't so bad considering you already haven't existed for an infinite amount of time before you were born, so you already know what being dead feels like.
And everybody else's grief is their problem, not yours

Why do urself in before [REDACTED]? There is no convincing argument against THIS.

if people want to kill themselves they will

if you cant understand the natural consequences of that reality then you are too stupid to be making decisions that matter for anyone

Human life has teleological purpose. By ending that life, you're running from your purpose, and your purpose is synonymous with your well-being. Your won't escape pain and your consciousness won't end, it will just descend into an even more painful existence.

did you kill yourself?

I have a hard time believing that in a universe with an unimaginable amount of celestial bodies humans here on earth have any particular meaning, regardless of consciousness. Especially considering the only proof is us telling so ourselves.

Reincarnation is about the most convincing argument against suicide I can think of.
Think about it: You want to self-terminate for any number of reasons, but the problem is that if you go through with it, you'll be right back in the place that did something to you that made you want to kill yourself.
Atheists, materialists and nihilists will tell you that you'll disappear into nothingness after death, but compared to reincarnating into a world that abuses people and ruins them, isn't this an absolute win?

probably because they don't actually exist, its like depth of field, just a background that's simulated accurately enough to seem real from here.

It takes intelligence to consider suicide. Retarded niggers never think about it. If you are thinking about suicide, you have some level of intelligence that humanity can use.

>>526095290
many things can change in your life that you do not see right now

>>526095290
Convincing argument?
Ok.
You should try it. Do your best to achieve cessation of life functions.
If you fail, you're too much of a bitch to even kill yourself.
Congratulations, you can only become less than you already are.
