Suicide is Wrong and Why
by Suicide is wrong because life changes. Death comes to all so why would one commit suicide.
Suicide is just plain and simply wrong. But why is it wrong? G-d created the Heavens and the earth but no man saw it. G-d spoke and was seen by all the Jews on Mount Sanai. All belongs to G-d. Hearing today that young people in the Armed Forces were having an increase number in suicides for various reasons made me very angry. Anger tell us something is wrong. G-d said my people perish for lack of knowledge. We are speaking of young people with their whole lives ahead of them. Girlfriend and boyfriend break ups were given as one reason. If it were me, I would just “get another one” as my daughter used to say when she was about seven years old. My fraternal grandfather committed suicide. This does not mean I need to or would consider it. It makes me think of all the reasons I would not murder myself.Yes, it is selfish and stupid act.He evidently was not thinking of his two sons, their future life or his beautiful wife and mother of his children. Anyone can blame a disease on their behavior. This is also wrong as it is only justifying behavior when our minds know better. I never knew him or blamed him for his pitiful life and the wrong choices he made. My father never did a suicide or take vengeance on anyone. He made me think about choices in life and both of my parents used reasoning with me. It breaks my heart to think about wasted lives over wrong thinking as life changes if we go to proper sources for help. There is hope for these persons. Don’t do it.
Make a call to someone and tell them if you have repeated thoughts of destroying yourself. Many factors can cause this, even physic suggestions for unseen forces.
AA and NA are full of people who have tried suicide for they were hopeless. Call them and go to a few meetings. Alcohol is a depressant drug. These groups are free to anyone. And they are for emotional issues also.
I wonder how many lives could have been saved if our mental health clinics were more affordable and quicker to get people in.

This whole article is patronizing and could be summed by the last sentence. “Don’t do it.”
Suicide is selfish, yes. Stupid? That’s being judgemental. You have obviously never been in a situation in which you pondered taking your own life, therefore you seem a little aloof from what could drive someone to do such a thing.
Suicide is not something you consider lightheartedly. Speaking from my own experience, considering suicide means you’ve reached a breaking point, a state of things in which everywhere you look you see pain. And there’s no point in arguing life is too beautiful to see things that way. That’s just the way things are. Suicide is also an end, which means that rather than focusing on suicide itself, one should instead look at what made one reach that idea. Saying that suicide is wrong and talking about people who did it and had their whole lives in front of them sounds pretty selfish and one sided too.
I’m not saying I condone it, but I am saying that one should speak out of one’s experience and evoke it, rather than focusing on worn out words. We all know suicide is wrong. But it may not feel that way to someone who thinks about it. Again, you can’t help a suicidal person by saying “Don’t do it, cause it’s wrong”. But you can start by sayin “What is so wrong that deserves such a sacrifice?”
Be objective.

I agree with your thoughts…. it is wrong… a permanent fix to a temporarily “crappy” situation, however, for those who are struggling, either because of geniune psychological problems or severe stress in their lives, it really does seem like suicide is the only solution, those people need to be prayed for…. on the other hand, those who commit suicide because of a break-up or just because life is difficult need to be more objective and step back and realize that what they are really looking for is an end to the situation, not to their lives
