Default OT: Why Suicide?

Excellent point! Rules are made by Humans - not the Creator. The writings
of rules are made by fallible humans who claim devine authority. I don't
know if they do or don't. I know I try to live a deserving life of service
and with a heart full of love. I don't pretend to be omnipotent or
knowledgeable enough to set in judgement of others and can only account for
my self.

There is suicide and there is suicide.

When our kiri's stepdad, who had Lou Gerhigs disease, decided it was
time to turn off the ventilator, it never even occured to think of it
as suicide. Though I suppose technically it was. I remember back
before antiretrovirals became available and indeed knowledge about how
to treat AIDS patiants was almost nonexistant, some friends chose to
end things before it got horrible, others held on as long as they
could hoping for a breakthrough. I was not about to pass judgement on
either, both decisions took a great deal of courage.

Then there are people who just up and end it all for reasons that no
one understands. Was it courage or cowardice? Since we weren't in
their heads when they did it, who knows?

It is hard for me to believe that someone who commits suicide is in their
right mind. I have also had the thought it would take a lot of courage
to
commit suicide too but maybe that's not it at all. Maybe they are just so
despondent that they can't think of anything but getting out of whatever
is
making life so unbearable in their minds at that time. Suicide is life
shattering to those left behind. Spoken from experience I'm sorry to say.

As far as I can understand it takes quite an amount of courage
for a person to commit suicide.
