I can't understand the nihilists/atheists who believe they're gated on both sides by infinite oblivion. But they're currently living some life very distinct from that oblivion. Wouldn't it make more sense to experience more things, even endure sufferings, since it's so rare compared to the infinite oblivion.
But yeah it's a mortal sin and a guaranteed spot in hell.
You should never seek to understand this.
Some knowledge by and of itself can be harmful.
My explanation is this: Nihilism. I hated not only my life but the very fact of my existence. I condemned my very existence because if I never existed, I wouldn't have to endure all my suffering. The only cure to depression and nihilism is faith and a life-affirming worldview. It worked for me and I don't want to die anymore.
Retarded platitude.
It takes balls to off yourself. It doesn't take shit to keep on living.
Most people need to reach out for help. This is especially hard to do for men, because they resent themselves for needing help.
Malevolence.
God's mercy is stronger than any sin, but you should never expect mercy.
Indeed. Eathly pleasures are empty and offer no meaning and our world is destroying the very soul.
Same here. I'm glad you're better now.
This.
Fear if hell is the main reason i have not committed suicide. I would prefer nothing to this life.
I should also be aiming for heaven, anotheer reason not to kill myself. But it seems like such a distant possibility to be honest
I think of it all the time because I fail at everything and it seems like I'm more useful dead. Its maddening how people like him don't understand its not about selfishness, most of them just can't bear it anymore because of people like you who would talk about how you should not be affected by things like that even though they would get angry and do reckless things if it happens to them.
can confirm
what about saints or monks who wanted to die for Christ and looking for opportunities to die as martyr or searching for killer who would kill them for their faith?
