@Simone_De_Beauvoir Yeah, the suicide is dead. They don’t have to deal with anything any more. Yet, they had to do some thinking in order to make the decision, and in that thinking, it becomes less likely they will want to commit suicide if they consider their family members, and if they understand the effect a suicide has on family members. It’s their decision, but a lot of times, suicides believe they are not wanted and that everyone will be better off without them. This is almost invariably incorrect.
With death, it seems to me that people should have full information. How many suicide bombers would commit suicide if they had more information about death? Or about their earning potential, if they stay alive? Many suicide bombers believe that their families will be taken care of if they carry out their mission. Do their families agree? I doubt it. I suspect they are isolated so they can be brainwashed into doing this.
People make their own choices, but I think they often underestimate how much impact their choices have on others. When in a depression, it’s not hard to believe one doesn’t matter. Even when others tell you that you matter to them, it’s hard to believe. However, I think it does have some impact. When I was ready to check out, people here and in real life kept telling me I mattered. I didn’t believe them, and yet, it did make a difference.
