When a person is at that level of despair, he isn’t thinking about the consequences. He is in pain and he’s consumed with finding relief for that pain. If he thinks about anyone else at all, it’s along the lines of “they will be better off without me.”
It’s a disease. Would Mr. Rollins berate a victim of lung cancer in the same way?
I’m speaking as a survivor. It’s awful, and it persists for years. The people who killed themselves feel nothing afterwards. It’s selfish and inconsiderate and done with no concern for the loved ones they leave behind. I don’t care how they bad they are feeling before they decide to end their lives. It can’t be as bad as what they inflict and leave to linger.
It isn’t a disease.
A disease makes you sick and can eventually kill you.
Depression or sadness didn’t kill Williams.
Robin Williams killed Robin Williams.
“Would Mr. Rollins berate a victim of lung cancer in the same way?”
If the ‘victim’ was a 4 pack a day smoker, wouldn’t he have a right to?
Depression may be a disease. Suicide is NOT a disease. It’s an act.
Suicide doesnt end the pain.....it passes it on to those you love and thos who love you.
It’s not a disease it’s a weakness, cancer is a disease. What a strange comparison it’s like saying addiction is a disease.
