Usually its mental illness or being in a terminal condition of sorts anyway and not wanting to suffer more before you go.
I would agree with this, though I think if you’re suffering a terminal illness it probably takes courage to end your life.
It’s so much more complicated than just saying courage or cowardice. The notion seems ridiculous
I actually don't think it's courageous to end your life with a terminal illness, because it is taking the easy way out. With that being said, I don't find it cowardly either. It just is what it is.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
