The discussion centers on the complex nature of suicide, questioning whether it is an act of cowardice or a recognition of self-worth. Participants express that individuals who consider suicide often feel immense pain and hopelessness, leading them to believe that non-existence is preferable to their current suffering. The conversation also touches on the impact of mental illness, particularly major depression, which distorts perception and can make life seem unbearable. Some argue for the right to choose euthanasia in cases of terminal illness, while others emphasize the devastating effects of suicide on loved ones. Ultimately, the dialogue highlights the need for compassion and understanding in addressing the multifaceted issues surrounding suicide.

I would like to clear two points here:
1. When I say "kill yourself", I don't mean out of depression or you're fed up of life or anything like that; but I mean you are going to kill yourself just like you do other things. Suicide; like playing football, bungee jumping, any other thing you like to do. You just want to kill yourself because you just want to, just like that.
2. When I said "you deserve better than this life" I didn't intend to talk of anything like afterlife or any other similar concept. Just that maybe you don't like "life"(like someone doesn't like to play a particular game, or do any particular thing) so he wants to kill himself.

Thanks.
I would like to say that my post has got nothing to do with religion, mysticism or anything of what you call "woowoo". It's just a general question posted under General Discussion category.
