because ive wrote anti suicide stuff and made people mad, im gonna write something that justifies suicidal people about the selfishness argument:
people who say that suicide is selfish do not understand the core mechanisms of suicide. The suicidal person waits for an impulsive moment where they don't think about anything but the eternal bliss of nonexistence that comes after death, a place where they won't remember the harm that they caused. The suicidal person feels guilt for having suicidal thoughts, but comforts themselves by the fact that the act hasnt occurred yet, therefore theres time for repent, while they still subtly wait for the moment of action. Suicide exploits the weakness of the human mind and pushes non selfish people to do selfish acts. Suicide might be one of the least selfish out of the selfish acts, taking into account the core mechanisms of suicide, and the fact that no one owns to anyone their lives, except in the case of a parent to their kids. Suicide is simply a break up. If suicide is selfish, then a break up from a relationship is selfish too. No one owes you their love. However, the eternal bliss from the unbearable pain and the core mechanisms of suicide pushes the most loving people to do the act. One might even argue that reproduction is more selfish that sucide, taking into account that the parent has to sleep at nights knowing the suffering that they caused to their offspring, like a forced, raped relationship. So, the conclusion is, that suicidal people need something stronger to hang on to their lives, something that will make the desire to abandon life go away after all, whether that be religion, or a new perspective. The hope that one day the suicidal person will genuinely want to live is what needs to be the main focus for suicide prevention.
