I would say that suicide as a permanent solution to life’s temporary problems is an armature act. As there is no deep thought to the act. Its just a instinctive response to pain that we feel. Its really quite an abomination, instinct killing the mind.
On the other hand, suicide as a conscious decision to end ones life just to find out what’s on the other side is a totally reasonable action in my opinion.
For life has no meaning. The only reason for any of us to keep going is to see what happens next. Like an interactive movie or a game. Our minds get a chance to see this world and enjoy it for all its good and bad, love and hate, and all the other experiences we go though. Suicide is simply us walking out of the theater in the middle of the movie.
But, it is a gamble. For one thing we cant be sure of what happens when we go over the stars. It could be less entertaining for all we know. Or worse, there could be nothing and this life could be the only time that we get to exist. But as life has no significance in the first place, this doesn’t matter. Life, if viewed from the appropriate perspective is as hollow as nothingness.
The ultimate dilemma lies in the matter of the soul. A wise man once said that one has to earn one’s soul. This just may have some truth. If so, suicide can be a ticket out of existence. Which is of course a rather unpleasant circumstance. It is this uncertainty that prevents many of us from committing the ultimate taboo.
The reason I wont do it is because if find life much to interesting and entertaining. I got a free ticket so I might as well enjoy the show. There is no going back once you are though the door and in the end we all walk though it. I prefer to stick around till the credits roll by.
