The thread called, "Suicide attempt" has gotten me thinking...
...that there are no regrets if one kills oneself because, well, one will be dead!
If I were in severe unbearable pain, I still think I would rather kill myself than have to endure the unbearable yet temporary pain.
I think I still would choose death even knowing that the pain will be over and I will live a good life. I would choose death because at the moment I would be suffering from *unbearable* pain.
Once I'm dead, there will be no regrets about having missed out on the good life.
It's unlikely that I will suffer from *unbearable* pain and I'm not even sure that unbearable pain is possible. If it were unbearable, wouldn't that automatically mean that you would die from it? Because, if you live through it, then you've "beared" the pain.
Anyways, I'm probably not making much sense now. LOL
I think what I mean is that quality of life is very important and that in some cases death is preferable IMHO.
People should still choose life over death though because if there is a chance for pleasure in the future, I think it's worth it.
LOL I think I totally contradicted myself with that last sentence.
