Your definition of “solution” is clearly very pedantic. World is not so Black and white. You tend to look at the whole thing from a narrow perspective.. i.e. yours. Also, suicide is never a solution to a problem/issue. I think you agree with that point too, since you say you don’t encourage people to commit suicide. Meaning you don’t want people to commit suicide. (Read the following paragraph YOU wrote) But if you agree with that then why did you make the point “Do you mean that suicide is never a good solution? Because it clearly is a solution, in that the problem goes away.” What I am trying to show is your statements are contradictory. Either you support the point that people have right to commit suicide or you say; it’s not right to commit suicide and I don’t encourage it.Definition of solution - A solution is an action which when taken at a state with a problem, results to another state without that problem.
Do you mean that suicide is never a good solution? Because it clearly is a solution, in that the problem goes away.
Rule for making a point; “Take a stance” and justify your point. Shifting between positions only leads to confusion among people.
Good point; But don’t blame the society. The society does not have time to sit down and solve your problem. It’s you who should realize that you have a problem and the try to seek help from your elders, peers and friends. Depression is a big issue and most of the people going through depression don’t even know they are depressed. But it’s the job of the family or loved ones to pull people out of the MUCK or you can go to a Shrink.The root of my argument here is not to encourage people to consider suicide, however the way society deals with this is obviously inadaquate, as it is a major cause of death in young people. Most of the stock arguments against it i've seen elsewhere do not give any relief to people who are dealing with depression.
I fail to see how when you say that “suicide will end it all” will stop people from committing suicide. On the contrary people will be more inclined to commit suicide; since they find someone who agrees with their point.Telling suicidal people they're cowards clearly does not stop them from killing themselves. Often the relief of admitting that all of it could be over if they so chose is enough to keep them on the path of life.
I didn’t say they were cowardly; we were expressing a personal opinion. I think you have to have a lot of guts to jump off the bridge or maybe hang yourself. I mean you have to be really brave to do that.
I think counseling people who are suicidal is a big task. You have to first gain the trust of the person. Then slowly suggest alternatives to the problem that they feel suicidal about. There are no guarantees to anything.
Basically people have to realize.. It is not worth throwing away life on small issues of life that can easily be solved with grit and determination! For christ's sake you are not the only one who is suffering in this world. Grow up! Take the example of people who have no legs or no hands.. and yet get up every day to go out and face the world. I have great respect for them. Look all around you.. you will find enough reasons to live and fight it out.
If Nafisa would have held on... and gotten over this realtionship. She would have found some nice guy and everything would have been wonderful. That stupid girl!
