[@acusr925]

That's how is see death now. Life is suffering. With death comes the cessation of said suffering.

I do find comfort in your posting some thing from this great Japanese writer!

That's death in general. But why end a life precious to others when it could so much good? Suicide hurts others simply for the ignorant decision to escape from your responsibilities.

Suicide hurts others only because of the reason mentioned in the video. You can't blame someone from signing out of something they didn't sign up for

@@raktimamchiforthe4thtime445 It means not to give the suicidal an excuse. They are to blame because of how action will effect others around them--and to devastating results.

​@@TheMightyN I understand your point, but it seems his family didn't truly care for him when he was alive. They disowned him after one of his suicide attempts, which doesn't suggest much concern. For the record, I don't believe anyone should commit suicide. While I understand the unbearable pain he must have felt, I don't think all hope for a better life was lost. By ending his pain, he also missed potential moments of joy. The way I'm living too by the way, I'm not really living it for anyone else (unless I had children then ending my life would definitely be really questionable), I mean I didn't ask to be born. But idk just some food for thought I guess. I also don't know the full extent of his suffering. Maybe his life really was that unbearable.
