You are right to say no one can stop people from taking their life if they really want to die... But most of the time suicidal people who try to seek help or try to talk to somebody are people who do not really want to die... They realised they need help, pushing them aside callously could really tip the balance...
You need not help or counsel if you feel you are not up to the task but no need to encourage or further instigate the suicidal person...
beg to differ...
i've understood that maybe SOME dun wanna die, and only having thoughts about suicide, and they asked for help, and got the wrong attention, in the end commited suicide, or lucky only attempted, but who is to blame? the person who told him/her to die, or the person who actually died or nearly died...
and so if another guy who is goddamn determined to die, and just gonna tell his fren to take care of the things for him... bye, i'm dying... then the fren say, bye... should the fren be responsible? or if the fren said, eh dun die, then the guy was already jumping 1/2 way from the 40 storey hdb, maybe about 20 level more to go, is the fren going to reproach himself for not stopping in time?
the person died on his own free will, nobody forced him to die, and no one is holy enuff to tell the person not to die, thats how i felt...
in a perfect world, everyone just try to make peace with themselves, and the things around them, but this isn't a perfect world, look beyond that, lets think about something like, why are we born, why do we have to experience death & birth, etc etc... y dun we just not press the start button and everything would be easier...
sometimes i was thinking, y did i swim so hard as a sperm... should have let another sperm swim faster than me... then let him suffer... but then would the other sperm have the luxury of making more sperms? :bsmilie:
