It isn't natural for people to kill themselves, most people don't. I haven't because I don't want to, it's that simple. I believe in the right to die, I do not think suicide is immoral. If I wanted to die, I would first seek medical treatment incase the desire was caused by some physical or mental illness. If I found myself to be healthy and of sound mind, or unhealthy and untreatable, and still wanted to die after that I would find a place where I could end my life in peace with minimal interference from others and my life would end. But I don't have any desire to die so it's not really relevant.
Excuse me for being mistaken. I was pretty convinced of it, so I didn't look it up.
And your answer indeed sounds pretty reasonable.
I think "what do you live for?" is a wonderful question without the unnecessary addition of why "haven't you killed yourself?".
I live for a lot of things. The world is a beautiful place. There are so many places I want to go things I want to see. There are my children who are my whole life right now, I love them more than I ever imagined it possible to love someone. There's bacon and ice cream and yes even waffles thanks to be Neim. Sometimes life sucks, there's a lot of pain and sadness and loss, but it's still awesome! I mean seriously a platypus..."you can't explain that!"
