  • Hey Guest,

    Today, OFCOM launched an official investigation into Sanctioned Suicide under the UK’s Online Safety Act. This has already made headlines across the UK.

I always thought "you should let someone die". I still think the same but, it's like if I actually had a bit of doubt before now. Because now I feel even more certain that you *really* should. And not doing so is the worst. For everyone.

Some of us will have a meltdown no matter what. Will be unhappy no matter what. No matter how much other people try to help us or think solutions, there's no changing a person which wasn't meant for this life in the first place. I know, I tried my best. I know how hard I tried to find at least a shine of hope. To try to see the good in life. To try to be happy. I know everything I've tried, and anyone who says "if you work on yourself, eventually things will be ok" simply don't have the slightest idea what they're talking about. They're just following recipes, hopeless to find words that can help. In worst cases, they direct the blame at you, "that seems like a you problem".

If they're nice, it only makes the running away worse. Because even people who try to help, even them have a limit, and even them will want to attend to their own needs first eventually. No matter how selfless or sacrifice they're willing to put at first, in the end they will leave, because they will see that their attempts are useless, futile, that will hurt their ego, they'll see other people living their best lives and they'll want to live it too. And since they can, they will.

... Unlike me, and I'm sure other people too, who have lived their entire lives in deep, deep sadness. Something these people who try to help and be nice don't ever understand, is how this isn't anything new. I don't know anything else. I don't know love. I don't know happiness. How could I? But they assume I have because they have. They cannot understand how on earth we can be so different. And yet, we are.

And I haven't even talked about danger. Living in such deep sadness, people trying to help but finally running away... it really messes your head. To the point of really wanting to hurt others in revenge, or to exert justice in some way, even to those who have done nothing. Because "if I have done nothing but I'm still suffering so much, why should others who have also done nothing live in such happiness?".

You may understand at an intellectual level that they're just trying to help, they see they can't, then seeing how helpless they are, they just go on with their own lives, leaving you completely alone again. But what should you do then? Why should they pursue happiness and achieve it, while you rotten every single day so so slowly and painfully?

It's been more than 10 years, and I still wish I would've been left to die. Then maybe I could know peace.

It may be hard to accept at first, but we really should extend the freedom of death to more people. That's true care and love. It really is.

ב''ה, maybe 1% of people can even afford to sustain one other human life above the poverty line.

They want to keep us alive at all costs, suffering and in pain. Because our illnesses are invisible to them, they don't understand or comprehend them. They believe everything can be cured, when it isn't. How cruel!

Each person's life is their own. They can do with it as they please. I think, however, that governments have a lot of hidden reasons to not wanting people to kill themselves. It certainly isn't emotional. They don't give a damn about anything like that.

France, for example, is one of the countries that have outlawed paternity tests. Why might that be? The results can be startling. Broken families leads to broken economies. Things like that.Children from broken homes are most more likely to go in and out of juvenile detention facilities, etcetera.

They need us to stay alive and be a cog in the workforce, pay taxes, etc. Some sort of convoluted, miserable reason is in the background for wanting us to not catch the bus.

Oh that's for sure. I've always been a very emotional person, and I've seen from very close how little they care, not only the government, but pretty much everyone. Even when I was going through hungry days, I would pick up a page and start writing on it. Emotions were still my top priority.
(I wouldn't write about hunger, but about love, passion, poetry, philosophy, psychology and related topics.)

Personally, I think the real, quite dark reason they don't want people to kill themselves is "for someone to win, someone has to lose". Or in other words, "for something to be excellent, there has to be something that is not". Imagine all the people in misery vanishing. The less unlucky people, which make the money and produce machines for the government, who will they compare themselves to? Where will they boost their ego from? What will be their source of motivation?
(note this reason does not need be aware to them necessarily.)

There's also the brand aspect: what will people and society as a whole think of a government that "doesn't care about human life"? "How inhuman!".
