Though shalt not kill.. even if it is thy self. Look again at your life I am sure it does not suck and killing your self is not a way out. It is just a cowardly thing to do because you dont want to face what is ahead of you. Look at the world around you and you will find a hundred people who are living and trying to have a life and they are worse off then you. Please find someone to talk to. Life is worth living..

The answer is no, in some religions suicide was and is expected within their traditions. There are many religions in the world. Does a man who has cancer without insurance and commits suicide to save his family a financial burden committ a sin? Does a mentally ill person who can't reason commit a sin?

On the other hand life is precious and we should appreciate the gift of life given by the universal consciousness in whatever religion you gravitate to it.

Yes! in any religion suicide is a devilish act! U r depressed ,better consult ur doctor for remedy and never give up hope.Life is already short why do u want to make it shorter! Look at the butterflies ,they dont live longer than u but they do survive! Look at the children in hospitals with cancer and other dreadful diseases fighting to live and yet they smile when u smile at them. Each day take it as an experience and start loving everything from sunrise .. God has given everything for us to be happy why dont u see all these!!

Yes, I believe so, but that is just my opinion. In Christianity A "form of Suicide" is condoned but it is not really suicide, it's called self-sacrifice.
Jhn 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

My friend, there always someone else worse than you are, you are not at the bottom of the ladder.

By asking the question, you are not prepared to face death, grab a hold of yourself, everything bad coming our way is retribution for our own mistakes and poor judgement.

We get wiser, stronger and live life for a better purpose.

Just wanna add, if you choose to jump off a high building, the last moment of comfort is your best feet touching the solid floor..get a hint?

Get over your depression ok?

To face life is more challenging than committing suicide, which is to give up everything abruptly and irresponsibly. Whether it is a sin or not does not matter. What matters is, the person is absolutely a stupid helpless loser.

Taking a life, even your own life, is murder. That is a sin. Worse yet is what you leave behind. The grief and questions and guilt that your family will have. It's the coward's way out. Get counseling. Or try doing community service where you help others, it will help you.

On the one hand you are giving ultimate freedom to do whatsoever we want to do and on the other hand you are giving responsibility. With responsibility I cannot use the word freedom as I want; hence I have to wait for the right meaning of freedom. The moment I get it, I get it with responsibility.

Osho: It is one of the perennial questions of humanity: the question of freedom and responsibility. If you are free, you interpret it as if now there is no responsibility.

Just a hundred years ago Friedrich Nietzsche declared, “God is dead, and man is free.” The next sentence he wrote is, “Now you can do whatsoever you want to do, there is no responsibility. God is dead, man is free, and there is no responsibility.” There he was absolutely wrong.

When there is no god, there is tremendous responsibility on your shoulders; if there is a god, he can share your responsibility, you can throw your responsibility on him. You can say, “It is you who have made the world, it is you who have made me in this way. It is you who is finally, ultimately, responsible – not me. How can I be ultimately responsible? I am just a creature and you are the creator. Why have you put seeds of corruption in me and seeds of sin in me from the beginning? You are responsible. I am free.”

Only You
In fact, if there is no god, then man is absolutely responsible for his acts, because there is no way to throw responsibility on anybody else. When I say to you that you are free, I mean that you are responsible. You cannot throw responsibility on anybody else. You are alone; whatsoever you do, it is your doing. You cannot say that somebody else forced you to do it, because you are free – nobody can force you! Because you are free, it is your decision to do something or not to do something.
With freedom comes responsibility. Freedom is responsibility. But the mind is very cunning, the mind interprets in its own way: it always goes on listening to that which it wants to listen to. It goes on interpreting things in its own way. The mind never tries to understand what really is the truth. It has taken that decision already.

People go on talking about freedom but they don't want freedom exactly; they want irresponsibility. They ask for freedom but deep down, unconsciously, they ask for irresponsibility, license.

Freedom is maturity
Freedom is maturity, license is very childish. Freedom is possible only when you are so integrated that you can take the responsibility of being free. The world is not free because people are not mature.

Revolutionaries have been doing many things down through the centuries but everything fails. Utopians have been continuously thinking of how to make man free but nobody bothers – because man cannot be free unless he is integrated. Only a Buddha can be free, a Mahavira can be free, a Christ, a Mohammed can be free, a Zarathustra can be free, because freedom means the man now is aware.

If you are not aware then the state is needed, the government is needed, the police is needed, the court is needed. Then freedom has to be cut from everywhere. Then freedom exists only in name; in fact it doesn't exist. How can freedom exist when governments exist? – it is impossible. But what to do?

If governments disappear, there will simply be anarchy. Freedom will not come in if governments disappear, there will simply be anarchy. It will be a worse state than it is now. It will be sheer madness. The police are needed because you are not alert; otherwise what is the point of having a policeman standing on the crossroad? If people are alert, the policeman can be removed, will have to be removed, because it is unnecessary. But people are not conscious.

So when I say freedom, I mean be responsible. The more responsible you become, the more free you become; or the more free you become, the more responsibility comes on you. Then you have to be very alert to what you are doing, what you are saying. Even about your small unconscious gestures you have to be very alert – because there is nobody else to control you, it is only you.
