To your first point, I'm not suicidal, and killing myself will inflict suffering on those close to me over the grievance of my death, I don't know why you find it necessary to label me accordingly just because of my negative value judgement on life and the deductive reasoning that has lead me to the conclusions already stated, and to your second point, we live in an amoral universe with a cycle of unnecessary pain, suffering and death inflicted on the present generation by the generation preceding it, none of the material around you has any intrinsic value, it's all just perceptual, the conscious welfare of sentient life is all that matters which I've stated numerous times. If I were to end my own life, the non-existent will still be having life imposed on them, thus continuing the cycle of Frankenstein monsters.

Honestly, do you want to help these people cure their struggles in life, or do you just want to poke fun at them and label others mentally ill who aren't in agreement with you and the CULTural beliefs that you continue to cling to?
What did you not understand about the post that I made explaining the perpetuation of psychological stress?
Why do you continue to be close-minded on this issue?
Drugs are only a patch, not a solution.

Whichever way you want to look at it.
I've met people in their late 20's who were still distraught over the break up of their parents which was the underlying cause for the depression in their lives, which they weren't even aware of, and those in their late 40's who couldn't get over their divorce and separation from their kids, or those who have lost the career path they were on which has spiralled them into a destructive alcoholic/drug addictive lifestyle. It's all to do with the memories that reside in your subconscious, they don't go away unless you do something about them. Have you ever been stressed, had an anxious moment, or ever been depressed? All these people just have to grow the fuck up according to you, right?
You're on the wrong path in life, you feel you're missing out on the things in your goal box that you've attached your self-worth to, you start thinking about things that you should've/could've done differently, and you start feeling worth less. This is how depression is caused, this is what brings about the chemical imbalance within your brain. When you're on the wrong path in life, you start to try and control or prevent an unfolding situation, this is how anxiety occurs. You can't be depressed and anxious at the same time, but you can shift between the two states, and I know for a fact that there are loads of people in the business world living stressed lifestyles who are constantly anxious, and they finally burnout after all the years of leading this kind of lifestyle and become deeply depressed. This is how most psychological stress disorders are perpetuated, this is how an individual gets on to a destructive path in life, the very people society shuns and don't give a fuck about.

That isn't a nice thing to say, I suppose you're going to be one of those people who end up in a nursing home, pissing all over yourself, having someone else wipe your ass for you and living through all sorts of ailments, disability or whatever the fuck life throws at you. You have no dignity, you have no grace.
Do you support the legalisation of euthanasia for those who can't bear the burdens of life anymore?
I honestly don't know how you could say this world is beautiful when there's so much pain and suffering going on.

Why don't you actually take a look at some of the posts I've made and use your logic and reasoning skills instead of playing on emotion and getting circle jerked into being close-minded about the most important issue to our existence?
Quote:Good thing then that I've achieved the first part of that goal. Apart from the occasional migraine, I live life without suffering. I have no delusions of my own importance in this world and how many persons I am able to affect with my actions, but I sure try to help others out as much as possible. If I succeed or not is up to those I try to be of use to
Good to hear.
