i think the only justifiable suicide is doctor assisted suicide. if i'm a vegetable, if i'm living on machines to keep me alive.. i dont think i'd want to keep on living. whats the point? what joys do i see? i'm just..breathing. when animals suffer, the right thing to do is end their life bcos it's better to be dead than to suffer physically until death. why isn't it the same for humans?

but generally, i don't think suicide is the answer at -all-. it is a cry for help. it is the easy way out. life, with all it's emotions and ups and downs, IS suffering. there will be moments when you'll suffer. some more than others for different reasons. truama. depression. etc. but its part of living. if it's not time to die, then you have to start living.
