Ever been told "you're life isn't your own"

[thetwilightzone]

Nothing enrages me more than this statement. It's unsurprisingly said by religious people. Seen it a few times online and also my cousin said "You didn't bring yourself in so you can't take yourself out".

As if that's supposed to make a suicidal person less suicidal smh....

Yes... "Jesus died on a cross for you, you were paid for with the blood of Jesus" your body belongs to him...

Ridiculous.

Never gave my parents permission to bring me in, won't ask them permission to leave.

Does that mean only your parents can kill you?

What kind of stupidity is that statement who owns me? Why do they own me? My body my rules we should be able to do AS WE WANT with it. This is beyond outrageous

Staying on this earth purely for superficial benefits for other people is a cruelty to yourself.

I say superficial, because the fact is, some people here have kids, and that to me is a responsibility beyond your own life. That's not superficial. My heart aches for users to want to KTB but have children that they will be leaving behind. I can't imagine the selflessness it requires to stay alive for your children. Don't get me wrong, people with children have every right to KTB as anybody else, I just feel it's a extremely large struggle that all of us can't relate to, and I just want to acknowledge I'm at least trying to understand how hard it is.

Your life is your own, and nobody knows you better than yourself. The outside world might see you as selfish, but they can't see the negative outcomes of your continued living, so it's not fair.

I think it means that only God can kill you.

By whom can an orphan be killed?

Too fucking bad for them. Someone is getting robbed then. I'm taking my life whether they like it or not.
