Can you blame folks for committing suicide when they are down and out with no one to love?

Question

Remember, it's easy to hit rock bottom and get caught on a branch down there.

Answer 1

If you can't give yourself a good reason to live try this, pure nosiness. Don't you want to see how it all turns out? If I'd died 5 years ago, I would have missed out on so much. I would have missed seeing my baby boy's first steps, hearing him say mama for the first time. Seeing him dance and sing "Mother Dooley Bird" at his Headstart graduation. I would have missed my oldest son winning his 4th grade poetry contest, the first time he beat up a bully more than twice his size to defend someone smaller than him. I would have missed this great job I have, the best sex of my life, the best sesame chicken I've ever eaten, all the beautiful people here in Yahoo! Answers. I live to see what dumb _ss question is gonna tick everyone off. It's great! Every day there's something to see, to experience. It's hard sometimes but it's so much better when you've gotten past it and you can say "damn I know I'm strong if I got through that sh_t". Take it one day at a time, one task at a time. Sh_t rolls downhill, so what do you do? You move to higher ground and wipe your feet!

Answer 2

Yes. That is depression or a mood or a temporary situation that WILL change in time, heck, maybe even by the next day or hour! Death, however, cannot change and is forever. Would be stupid, sooo selfish, and just awful to waste the potential good that someone's life could do just because of the temporary situations or emotions like you listed. Get involved! Want someone or something to love? Go find them! Heck, volunteer at the local animal shelter first thing in the morning and see how much you are needed and loved just by poor unwanted innocent animals...even that gives a life important meaning and use in this world!

If you feel this way or know of someone that does, call someone, anyone, now and discuss this with them. If you don't know who to call or don't want to talk with anyone you know, call

Answer 3

I wouldn't say blame but I don't think that suicide is the way to solve any problem. I lost my husband in a tornado a little over three years ago and I was left a single mother of four children. You think I didn't think about it? Sure for about a second and then I realized that if I did that i would never know how good life could be again.

Answer 4

Once you hit rock bottom, there's no place to go but up.

Oh, whine, whine; boo-hoo, I'm not over 20 and my life is SO horrible. Guess what? It only gets harder as you go along, and unless you learn to bounce back from getting knocked down you're really in for some disappointment. Friends and family die, spouses die, pets die, accidents happen, banks screw you, jobs screw you, coworkers stab you in the back, gas prices go up and stuff breaks at bad times.

Too harsh? Deal with it. Life doesn't give a crap about your feelings, and will kick you in the teeth every chance it gets. In short, LIFE ISN'T FAIR.

But such times are often the turning point between learning self-sufficiency and letting religion give you all the easy answers. When a deity fails to help, a person tends to cease believing in it.

Answer 5

Personally I do not judge other people's decisions when they're making life-altering choices of any kind, unless it's attempted suicide. So if someone chose suicide as way to mend their problems, I would feel sorry for their loved ones and at the same time would want to blame them for not noticing signs of the decease that person had;depression.
-Then again, everytime there's an unsespected death everyone tries to find someone to blame, as a way of coping with their sorrow....so for those who are said to be religious people...why cant you just accept that might have been god's choice in the first place?

Answer 6

Yes ,those are not reasons for such a drastic move, you may be down, but why count yourself out? There is picking yourself up and trying again, There will be some one to love , never give up looking. Keep hope in your heart.
Now how about ending ones own life because of a terminal illness, or having lived a long an full life going out in a dignified way of ones own choosing.Can we blame someone for that?

Answer 7

Yes, I can blame them. Suicide is the cowarts way out. God gave the life, God should take the life, the person who does this is making him or herself God.. A suicide attempt is a clear indication something is wrong in the persons life. Life is to be lived, enjoyed, and always find something to make the person happy. They are the ones to make them happy. No matter the race, rich or poor, people who commit suicide have a mental or emotional disorder. Depression and bipolar disorders are the number one for suicide. You can not think this away they need meds.. If you know of anyone who is talking of doing this, do not keep it to yourself, get them help as soon as possible. Everyone deserves to live their life to the fullest.. Zella

Answer 8

Morality might want to be damaged down into 2 strategies. If a god exists than... regardless of (s)he says is going If a god does no longer exist than what's inaccurate with suicide? no longer something as we are alright here through coincidence so existence is incomprehensible and everyday worthless. identity hit the psychological outcomes of getting to make certain loved ones lifeless or freshen up after suicide sufferers as a serious argument and use the more desirable sturdy argument of morality

Answer 9

I've been there...in a place where I felt like suicide was the only way to get people to care about me. I don't blame them for taking their own lives; it's their life, they can do what they please with it. The people I blame are the friends or family or acquaintences who do love that person and don't think to tell them before it's too late. A lot of times, it seems like the only way to find out who really cares about you is to die...when, really, you should be able to know who cares about you from the beginning.

Answer 10

Yes and no. Yes because their action causes a lot of pain to those who loved them (There are still people out there who do love them) and no because when they resort to living on the street then something's gone ghastly wrong and they should get more help. Thing is ... A lot fo their action has to do with self guilt so they don't want any contact with loved ones and there are not enough agencies out there to provide counselling they need, let alone someone they can trust to open to.
