That suicide is a deeply misunderstood phenomenon, and that it is entirely possible for any person who cares enough and is willing, to understand why people feel this way. That suicide's portrayal as an exotic mystery to be shunned is a terrible mistake that society & common culture has made; that this itself has resulted in both the shunning of the people who are suicidal, in addition to the unfortunate absence of heartful conversation regarding these intense & tender topics.
You must, you must regard the suicidal as human and at least desiring to mean something well. You have the right to call into question the logicality of suicide and decide on own honest grounds, the morality of it. But I tell you, I tell you--you cannot reach anywhere in dialogue with the suicidal if you do not regard them as human and capable of making good conclusions--which I do not to intend suicide as an unassailable conclusions.
Oh, and this forum is
not a death cult. This community feels grief when we learn of a member's suicide, and we become glad to know if they are well after that. I have witnessed this myself in a chatroom. We do not celebrate death; we only wish to give people company, and some solace from the loneliness that many struggle with, suicide besides.
To refuse all dialogue of anything within vicinity of suicide, is to enact loneliness upon this already very lonely feeling for those who bear it. I implore the average person to open their heart and be willing to understand the discomfort of the suicidal. Who knows, maybe in your quest to understand others, perhaps you will one day find this oscillating disharmony within yourself and be able to feel alright despite that, because of our practices in understanding.
This can happen to anyone. Everyone has their own values for what makes life worth living, and those values can work for them or against them. This is not some magical spirit that possesses people at sudden; no, this is a real process that occurs in quantifiable ways; that is not to be idolized, that is not to be mystified--that must, and I repeat, must--be addressed honestly, with acceptance of uncertainty, the acceptance of the unacceptable--for the sake of humanity, if not anything but that.
Suicide is not the result of "propaganda" or the "liberal agenda", or any "modern craze" as it may be sensationalized as. The "Blue Whale game"
was a hoax. Suicide has occurred all across history, in nigh all societies, to people famous and infamous, widely known and unheard of. It is clearly something that results from some common conflict of being human.
So humanize it, realize it, understand it. Do not fear it. Do not idolize it. And, I do say this most harshly--do not shun it. What matters more, your privileged perfect "goodly feeling" or some else's suffering and actual life struggles? You have an obligation upon yourself at the very least, to have a basic level of understanding as to not exacerbate this issue further, to publish platitude publicly to the world, to give the suicidal genuine thought and sympathy for their situation; to hear them out and understand the only way to have any chance of convincing people (in
any respect) is to regard them as human and their intentions something to be respected. If you say no such obligation exists, then I cannot compel you. I consider it fair enough within the rights of reason.
And lastly. Suicide is not secret or cultish, but secretly ingrained in our culture. Hell... fucking Bohemian Rhapsody. Listen to that song and tell me [that the idea of] suicide is unheard of in modern culture, and untouched upon
entirely.
Whatever belief or conviction you hold, whether you regard suicide as deplorable or (without my endorsement) somehow virtuous; it is something that, whether we like it or not, has become part of us. As humanity as a whole. I hate to know that such ideas are a part of me; but knowing that they are inherently from some kind of human primality, that has manifested in ways common and forms known but overlooked--gives some sense of comfort, that this truly is not so odd. It may still be something to reconsider, to avoid holily embracing, to be reckoned with and pondered over & reasoned against; but in the end, it's not so odd, and knowing this, we can accept what we truly hold beautiful & true, and work towards reducing suffering through honest understanding. We do not need to give up our reason [n]or our values to harmonize together in such a small yet grand pursuit. I ask that any one join me in this, to work towards understanding, and recontextualizing themselves and the world in their eyes. I bid you my best of wishes. And wherever you are, I wish you well too. Take care of yourself. I give you these words of what I hope is honest in the hopes that you are able to find harmony for yourself, and be able to realize understanding better, I hope. My words with you. And your thoughts with yourself.
