Why everybody condone the act of suicide?

Question

Everybody always find easiest ways of life. Suicide being the easiest way to get rid of all unwanted things in life, why everybody is against the act of suicide?

Answer 1

Catholics believe suicide when committed in full knowledge and deliberate consent is a complete turning away from God (a mortal sin) and will send a person to hell.

There are 3 conditions of a mortal sin: grave matter, full knowledge, and deliberate consent.

While suicide (or any kind of murder) is always a grave matter, people who commit suicide may not always have full knowledge of what they're doing. Drugs can definitely impair one's thinking, as can other things, such as diseases, intense pain, or anguish.

Therefore, suicide is not automatically treated as a mortal sin.

We are commanded by Christ not to judge others so we leave final judgment to God who alone knows each person's heart.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

First off, everybody does not find the easiest way to live. I have chosen to live right, which, I'll tell you, is not the easy way. As far as suicide goes...I want to compare it to divorce. It may be the immediate fix, the quick easy way out, the ugh, I can't handle this anymore. But ultimately, the waves it would create would far outweigh the actual action. There are serious consequences behind suicide, just like divorce. One life can be worked on, fixed, and counselled, but the harm and damage of suicide can be life long for many. My uncle commit suicide on Christmas Eve, when I was 7 or 8. It was awful. I was little, but I still remember all the details and the craziness and the crying and the pain at 32. Suicide is selfish and it's quitting. Quitting doesn't get anyone anywhere.

Answer 3

I think there is need to look at the question of suicide less judgementally.

Our society, with it its emphasis on conformation, often drives us to lead our lives contrary to our nature. In time this may make life meaningless to many. It is not done for the society to stop the last resort of suicide to people it has little to offer.

In most cases suicide should be the last resort. One should have the willingness and courage to fight. But sometimes but inspite of how bravely you fight, you may lose everything...... and it is when you lose hope that it is pointless to live on. I think that is the time when suicide becomes a good option.

Also, when people have a meaning in life, the most severe of pain can be tolerated. But when the meaning, the aim in our life is lost, then even the slightest inconvenience may irritate us. Then we might feel, why should we go on suffering ----- to what end. Who is going to benefit if I suffer?

There may also be cowards who only are on the look out for the easiest way out, but come one, they are made that way by god, and they can't deal with, they should have the right to take their life. It is their life in any case.

Answer 4

Your question is contradictory. First you ask why everyone condones suicide and then you ask why everyone is against ti. Perhaps you don't know the meaning of "condone" and what you really mean is "condemn". Well, some people do condemn suicide. Personally, I would advise against it. It is much harder to find a solution to your problems after you are dead than when you are alive. And, guess what? If you do find solutions to your problems, after you die, you feel really stupid, because now you are dead and cannot make use of those solutions. So, it is kind of dumb to commit suicide. But, when someone does commit suicide, I don't condemn it. I feel sad for the person. From a practical view, it is stupid to condemn suicide anyway. What are you going to do -- sue the guy and put him in jail for dying without your permission?

Answer 5

Life is not about the 'path of least resistance'... it is not about finding the easiest path. It is about finding a path - a direction - that an individual enjoys; one that makes them happy and grow.

Suicide does not get rid of all the unwanted things in life. Those things are still here. And those of us who had a love one kill themselves... well... those people were wanted, though sadly they were locked in a place where they did not realize that.

Answer 6

Suicide is/means "self-murder" in Latin... and it's NOT "the easiest way to get rid of all unwanted things in life".

And who said "life is easy"?

Answer 7

Suicide is murder, plain and simple. Only cowards commit it. Why are they cowards?
1) They can't face life. As if no one has suffered as much as they have/are suffering.
2) They will get away with it-no one can exactly punish them if they succeed isn't it? They think they will be alright after death-which is utter nonsense.
Besides, there is a small group of people who tried but failed to commit suicide-they went to the edge and by some fluke(or divine intervention?) survived. Know what they say? They were wrong to even think about it.

Answer 8

I am a left love one from a selfish boyfriends suicide! His suicide hurt so many of us! We all blamed ourselves. he didn't have to do that! His mother was hurt his brothers and sisters and I was hurt. We all loved him we felt that we should have been smart enough to see what he was going to do and stop it! Suicide is bad for those one leaves behind.
