There's a difference between sacrificing yourself for a cause and just going an hero. Stranded astronaut is cute but since that's not a situation anyone has ever been in I'll just discount that. How'd you even go about killing yourself in that situation in the first place?Liar Revealed wrote: ↑Wed May 20, 2020 10:48 pmThere are lots of situations where killing yourself is the acceptable, if not the honorable thing to do. Such as in end-of-life scenarios, or certain war scenarios. Or let's say you're a stranded astronaut running out of oxygen where no rescue is possible?
It's a shit option because he could stop being a burden anytime. Just like that. Yes, he will lose that house. There's nothing he can do about that anymore short of winning the lottery. But objectively he's just some 40yr old single guy with bad credit. He's already better off than most divorced men his age.Liar Revealed wrote: ↑Wed May 20, 2020 10:48 pmI'm not trying to be edgy, but in someone like Spoony's case, perhaps suicide is the proper choice? If you believe what he's saying, that he's miserable and has no joy left in his life --only fear, regret, and pain-- then maybe it's time. It could be seen as honorable because it would spare his family of being a burden.
Unqualified, hard labour isn't going to be outdated any time soon. If he wanted to he could sell his house, likely get some modest apartment for whatever he gets out of it or at least pay the rent for a year and go work at some fast food place or whatever. There are people that had to struggle to get there where he could be there next week. Nothing has been outside of his control and he's, objectively, far away from a situation one can't get out of. That's why I have no sympathy for him.
As for reasonable suicide, the worst thing I've ever heard was of some woman that had some rare disease where the mucous membranes are dry all the time. Dry nose, dry mouth, dry pussy but most importantly a dry colon. So every shit is like torment, pressing out a bunch of razorblades. She went to Switzerland for euthanasia because voluntary euthanasia wasn't legal in Germany back then.
I can see that if every single waking day is nothing but suffering it'd be a good call to just end it. Still, get a buddy to record your awesome jump or something. I mean you moved to Switzerland and went thought all that paper shit so is it too much to ask to do a flip, lass? Be reasonable!
