Praying 4 a Miracle

It's petty clear that the majority of people on Earth (the healthy and happy) simply do not understand what real suffering is, and do not support those who are. This needs to change ASAP. These same people would never even think of allowing an animal (domestic pet, in the wild, or even livestock) to suffer needlessly, and yet they believe a human being should be forced and expected to, often for decades. It's beyond cruel, it's inhumane insanity on a worldwide scale.
Personally, I believe that every adult on Earth should have the right, and access, to safe and humane assisted suicide if THEY feel they have no other solutions. This would likely result in FEWER people committing suicide, because of the much higher level of peace-of-mind that this would create.
People would know they'd have a safe and peaceful escape hatch if it ever becomes absolutely necessary (in their mind, not doctors and those who currently have all the power) to end their suffering. Like others have said in posts on this forum, this should be our most important basic human right. This barbaric problem that so many in this world are facing will not last forever (the masses will eventually come to their senses), but we need to (dramatically) speed this up.
When I read some of the posts, it just breaks my heart that so many have to resort to all of these painful, risky, and inhumane methods to relieve their suffering, and it just does not have to be this way. I'm actually very new to this way of thinking, and have spent 57 years feeling extremely healthy and happy myself, so I know exactly how these people feel.
Many have children of their own, and would be absolutely devastated if they were to lose a loved one. My parents would be devastated, and they're both in their 80's. This does not change the fact that human beings should not be forced to suffer needlessly, and have to resort to dangerous, painful, and most often brutal methods of unassisted suicide to escape their unrelentingly pain.
A little background on my personal life is that I'm a retired engineer and business owner,
am married, and have three (currently happy and healthy) children. By most people's standards I've had a very blessed and charmed life for almost 6 decades. Now, since my health issues began just over 2 years ago, things have gone south rather quickly. I'm living proof that things can change in a heartbeat, and it can happen to anyone.
This forum is a MASSIVE support and help to those who are suffering the most in this world. It's pretty obvious that not everyone feels the same way. In my somewhat unique situation, it's more than obvious that this forum is helping people immensely, and yet so many in this world simply cannot see it, yet.
I honestly believe this is about to change however, and very quickly. As far as I can.tell, this is the ONLY forum or major website ON EARTH that is very effectively and successfully tackling what is arguably the most important and controversial issue in existence.
Yes,, suicide is a nasty business, but ignoring those in the world who are suicidal only makes things much much worse. There needs to be discussion and support. Without it, there is just ignorance and stigmatization. The proof is that suicide is the number one cause of death in people under 35 worldwide, (with men it's number one under the age of 50!). Clearly what the world is doing now is not working.
The barbaric, non-supportive, dangerous policies of forcing people to do these things on their own must stop. No one, no matter how humane assisted suicide becomes, is going to want to die prematurely if they are not truly suffering, especially after trying all other solutions possible to remedy the problem(s). There obviously should be age limits and a reasonable waiting period, to eliminate the chance of impulsive decisions, but they should be the only restrictions. Also, precautions should be taken to ensure that no one is ever coerced into making this decision (especially the elderly).
If those with thoughts of suicide feel supported and loved, the chances of them actually committing suicide go way down. This is obviously why this forum and community is doing so much good in the world. Yes, it is going to seem gory and evil to some, but it's NOT being glamorized AT ALL.
In fact, the more posts I read, the more I'm realizing just how dangerous, painful, scary, and uncomfortable it really is. It's actually a huge deterrent, and yet oddly comforting at the same time. Probably because of the feeling of support and community (we know we're not alone in this), but also because at least there is, if absolutely necessary, an escape from all of the pain and suffering.
