Why is suicide so bad?

Question

..when it's our choice to do with our bodies what we want? Kind of like abortion, how it's the woman's choice to decide what to do with HER own body? (even though there are 2 bodies)

Answer 1

Well, Its wrong for just one reason, the bible says its wrong and says that if you take your life you will not go to heaven. God has a plan for everyones life, so
he probably decided that if you cut it short by ending just because the going got ruff, everyone wouled do it, so he made it a sin and not a way to get to heaven, and made the way through his son. Only God can choose when its your time to go. Just make sure your a Christian and believe in Jesus Christ as your Saviour and you will go to heaven.

Answer 2

Why is suicide Bad? Wow, umm because a person who committed suicide took away from himself a second chance maybe? How is suicide going to solve any problems? Yes, it is ones choice to do what he/she wants with their body. But there's also the idea that there are good AND bad choices. It pretty much comes down to, do you respect and value your life?
And having an abortion does nothing to a woman's body, it does it to the BABY'S BODY. Hello? how clueless can you be? Why not stop sleeping around and use protection at least? Why should the unborn suffer for a woman's mistake? The fact is, whether people admit it or not, abortion is KILLING. those who commit this act are killers. I'm against the death penalty, but why doesn't it apply to baby killers?

If a person wants to die, i discourage it. But at the end, it's their choice, their body, their life. But nobody else has to suffer for it EITHER.

Answer 3

IME as one who often gets the call, in one way, or another, from the person in crisis, I can only share the benefit of my experience. Ultimately, No person is fit to judge another's action(s). That being said, societies have always had "guidelines" that serve to convey the essence of values that society has. Consequentially, abortion is something society has currently chosen to legalize under certain circumstances. This decision, in the US, came about as a reaction to what was happening when it was illegal. Suicide, once was legal, in certain societies. Then again, so was human sacrifice. The conundrum exists that, if we hold life to be precious, and, punish those who take it, how can we condone one taking one's own life. In abortion, the legal battle is currently being waged at the line draw by the debate of when life starts. So, this is in line with the legal stand on suicide. I can only share that. In my many instances when I have been in a position to share myself with someone about to kill them self, I have been able to help them seek an alternative that better served them, both in the "big picture", and in their immediate crisis of confidence. I hope this helps.
It is my life's work.

Answer 4

I hope I would never presume to judge someone who committed suicide or attempted it. It is very upsetting to learn of someone doing this because it represents such an awful state. I hope I can be sensitive enough to help people who are feeling that way.

I do believe our bodies are a gift from God and that to not show respect for that gift and any other form of life is wrong. Killing an unborn child is absolutely wrong -- I still don't understand how anyone could be so devoid of light as to not understand this.

Answer 5

It is so bad cause :-

1) The grief it brings to those close to the person who committed suicide. Why?? Why??
2) God did not create us and our parents did not bring us into this world to be a waste;
3) I believe no religion encourages suicide;
4) We are here for a reason, and that reason is not suicide.

Answer 6

I don't know. I don't consider suicide bad. It's a deeply personal choice. And no one else should have the right to tell you whether you can take your own life or not.

Answer 7

We all come into existence with a mind and capable of reasoning and having the capability to develop it to its fullest potential.

The mind of a suicidal person is not balanced with the power of reasoning and usually infused with anger and craving for non-existence, believing that death is the answer for every problems in life, where they don't realize that the very present moment of life can be a turning point to change it as the most useful and meaningful part of life ever experienced.

Another reason for suicide for being bad is due to the fact that one has chosen to do away one's precious gift with selfish intentions and thoughts driven by ignorance. They could have overcame them with more patience and proper understanding with the laws of reality and conditions of how/what certain circumstances in life are meant to be as they should have.

Answer 8

It's not "evil," but indicative of mental illness. Throughout the history of mankind, people have labeled the mentally ill as evil or bad or behaving contrary to the will of god. Those who kill themselves were not well. Simple fact. The most horrific injustice is when a family loses a person to suicide and then has their church tell them that the person cannot be burried in consecrated ground. I saw this happen to the family of a girl I went to high school with.

Answer 9

Here is what the Catechism of the Catholic CHurch teaches. These are issues of not only Church but basic human morals.

2281 Suicide contradicts the natural inclination of the human being to preserve and perpetuate his life. It is gravely contrary to the just love of self. It likewise offends love of neighbor because it unjustly breaks the ties of solidarity with family, nation, and other human societies to which we continue to have obligations. Suicide is contrary to love for the living God.

2322 From its conception, the child has the right to life. Direct abortion, that is, abortion willed as an end or as a means, is a "criminal" practice (GS 27 § 3), gravely contrary to the moral law. The Church imposes the canonical penalty of excommunication for this crime against human life.

Answer 10

It isn't the act that is the problem. It is the outcome. Once you remove yourself from life you've ended all opportunity. The world is ever changing and infinite. If you didn't know about the cycle of seasons, you might give up in the middle of winter thinking "There is no more food. No more warmth. All is lost." only to miss out on the beauty of spring. I'm not making promises...I'm simply saying that we can't know what the future holds and death closes those doors forever.

Answer 11

I would like to do it, But my physical self has a tough survival instinct and I cant figure a way around it I go to sleep during toronado warnings , considered camping trips to canada just before the big freeze . thought about dry ice in a confined space.

Then there is the after life. Some say we reincarnate and suicides come back as bugs and have to work their way back up. I dont wantto be a effin cockroach . But I reallywant to go home . I feel I am up waypast my beddy bye time
