Suicide

[Thumpalumpacus]

But as Benny points out, and rightly, in my opinion, the fact that one cannot see the moral dimensions of one's act doesn't not mean it isn't there.

Maybe so, but you'll never convince a suicidal person of any of that. They are not thinking about that. They are thinking about ending THEIR pain and THEIR suffering in THAT moment. Unless you've walked that walk, it's a hard concept to grasp.

Well, we neither have killed ourselves, so truth be told, you and I equally haven't walked that walk, and you know as little about it as I do.

Your answer, too, ignores the point I'm making. Ironically, I'll say that just because you're ignoring my point doesn't mean it isn't there. It only means you're ignoring it.

Simply because the suicide doesn't think that the moral dimension of their act is worthy of consideration, due to their own pain, that does not mean that that moral dimension doesn't exist. It only means that they cannot or will not address it.

I'm not trying to convince a suicidal person. I'm trying to have a conversation with you.
