Pain / suffering / whateveryouwanttocallit is relative. For you it's stupid, for others it might not be. "People around the world live worse than stupid persons." Uh huh, a very slippery statement to make, you can make it if you look at something as obvious as material wealth and health, but the gilded cage and prisons of the mind are much more tricky and can be just as debilitating as something more physical. You can crush someone's will/spirit/happiness without destroying their health.

Or to put it another way. Whilst one person may feel safe in an enclosed space, another may go out of their mind for fear of the walls - Agoraphobia vs Claustrophobia.

All sorts of things can cause feelings of hopelessness in people, and even in a single person they may not be consistent through their life, something they coped with before suddenly they will snap and be unable to cope.

I appreciate your statement is meant to be positive life affirming, and that's cool, but I think it also tramples the fact that people are different and hurt for different reasons - and the answers to that pain are individual and different. Not everyone shares the same favourite colour or idea of what is beautiful or not.

One man's meat is another man's poison.

How very boring the world would be, if we all thought the same way.

I was thinking of the existentialist who believes life has no meaning, that each individual has no more purpose in life than said roadkill cat, and that suicide may be a viable alternative when their meaningless lives cease to even bring them pleasure -- A few steps past the broken-hearted lover. Any thoughts, or are they the same?

kiseli-kupus In reply to Oberstenfeldherr [2012-11-21 21:52:43 +0000 UTC]

That cat probably didnt want to die, milions of people with all kinds of cancer dont want to die, they would probably change everythimmg they have for a life,and why why why would someone took its own life because of some lost love, or because they lost job, or because they dont have iphone 555ss extra plus small, or you name it? So i choose roadkill cat over some suicidal story. Maybe my brain is broken, but thats the way it is, and i cant change it.

Oh, I'm not saying I think it's a bang-up choice to go and take one's own life. I think it's a monumentally stupid thing to do -- for any number of reasons. I just don't really understand why your reaction towards suicide is one of pure hostility.

I believe that the choice to commit suicide flows from false beliefs about life which are learned from the cradle up. While I am not about to commend anyone for their faulty reasoning that brings them to the point of suicide, I can understand that there is always a combination of pressures over time which drive them to that precipice. Whether it's weariness from a life of hardship, a belief that no one would miss them if they were gone, or a belief that nothing really matters -- isn't it all a bit sad? Sure, their logic is faulty; There's never a good reason to kill one's self, but that doesn't remove the tragedy of it all when the death occurs.

Tindreia In reply to kiseli-kupus [2012-11-21 17:13:23 +0000 UTC]

yeah, because other people suffering more than you, is a sound reason why you yourself should be healthy mentally.

Oh wait, no.

I have had rough periods with myself in my life, so although I am fine at the moment, I can understand why someone would write something like this and I can identify with it, it's called compassion and empathy, which you sadly lack from what I can see.

Who are you to say that this person has no right to express sadness? How do you know if it's unreasonable? You say "life like ours", but do you know this person, and know how their life is? You judge this person on what grounds?
You are the stupid one.

Also, wealth does not bring happiness. If that was your point. I know this as I have experienced both.
I can say I was more happy with less, as I also had less to worry about.
And, I had someone from my old class hang himself a while back, and yes from what I know he ate food every day, and slept in a bed at night, but that did obviously not stop him from ending his life.
His friends and family crying at his funeral was something I never hope to see again.

I hope you experience a bad period in YOUR life so you can come back here and apologize for judging someone based on assumptions.

Yes one should be happy if one has all the life qualities in order, but it isn't that easy to be human.

This is very first-world, sickly, self-pitying sadness, if this isn't (as someone else suggested) dark comedy. The author should go to a less developed country, THEN write poetry. I've felt bad about my life - I've had friends die and boyfriends break up with me. I've almost lost my home and been unable to pay for college. But I live in a place that isn't war-torn, where I can have a bright future, and where I am physically comfortable. I don't mope about how 'my wrists are red, boohoo' for those reasons. This poem GLAMOURIZES suicide. That's not positive.

Also, your condescending tone makes me want to vomit. Probably has the same effect on a lot of people.

Tindreia In reply to GreyCorbie [2012-11-21 20:21:33 +0000 UTC]

LOL, ok so you say that people who have not experienced war cannot be truly sad?..

I am just saying that feeling emotions, does not have anything to do with being poor or rich or from a well-doing country or not, because I have seen poor people being happy as well as rich people being sad.

also, if you read the description, the person did not write the poem. Someone else did. She merely identified with it, which is what art is for. How many sad ballads about love are there? in any culture!

It's not fair to compare feelings of a person to the extremes like people starving or in war, it's not comparable. You cannot say "oh, ok I have cancer, but it's ok because at least my arm isn't gone like someone else in Botswana" or "oh, my boyfriend abuses me emotionally, but it's OK because at least I have a working toilet and I can get water from a faucet unlike people in Iraq"

NO. the human mind doesn't work like that.

Stop making "first-world" problems seem like a crime! everyone is allowed to feel sad, or happy. It's part of being human! You cannot revoke the right on the basis on other people?
I cannot be truly happy, becasue someone out there has more than me? bullshit
I cannot be truly sad, because someone out there has less than me? also bullshit.
You are the condescending one, playing down the emotions of other human beings, which makes me want to vomit.
No it's not a great thing to glamorize suicide, don't get me wrong here, I am just saying that hating on other people because they are unhappy although they SHOULD be happy is wrong.

Well, i had some rough periods in my life, really bad, but i never though about killing myself. Had nothing to eat, had no home, no friends, and guess what - i didnt kill myself. Oh wait, maybe i should have. And look at me now, explaining some people some things, in my home, where i have food, even internet. Who would know...

Tindreia In reply to kiseli-kupus [2012-11-21 17:43:07 +0000 UTC]

heh, if you truly had a rough period you should understand how it feels when other people say that your troubles are stupid or shallow or mean nothing. Or that they aren't allowed to feel sad.
I also had the same issues you had some time ago, an ex that kept me "captive", plus issues in my family, never really belonged anywhere and was bullied all the way through school.
I have never attempted suicide but the thought has crossed my mind in weak moments, I however believe in seeing things to the end although it can be really hard,
but not everyone is like that.

Instead of telling people that may be unstable at mind to go kill themselves you should ignore things like this if that is all you find in yourself to say. You might do more harm than you think. There are people that actually go through with it because of people saying careless things like you. So you go enjoy your life while it is good instead of bashing a stranger that feels bad on the internet. Because the thing about feelings is that they aren't always rational or logical, and what you say cannot change anything in a positive way, because it was purely negative.
You should know that not everyone is as strong as you, you should respect that.

Next time you should try saying something positive and inspiring instead, and you might as well save a life, instead of potentially killing someone.

Have a great day, total stranger I will never see again~ *woosh*

So basically, according to you, if someone in the first world has no one to rely on they just have to be happy about that and stop whining because people has it worse like no food or education? Isn't that the same as "You're not allowed to be happy because someone has it better than you"

Heh funny how you point out Kiseli's assumptions when you had plenty of your own when you took the context of a poem and generalized it to 'first world' people problems vs no food and education. Sure it could theoretically go both ways when saying 'you're not allowed to be happy/sad' but there are limits. Anyone who willingly believes in 'I'm not allowed to be happy' would be purposely imposing a crutch on themselves. How could the rational 'I'm not allowed to be sad to the point of scarring oneself' be considered a crutch? Your point is mute.

In this case, I'm supporting kiseli-kupus, she's right on the fact that so many are wanting to kill themselves for the stupidest reasons. Well, maybe some of it was a little harsh, but you can't always assume things will never get better. I heard of this idea where you should wait a full year before you decide to commit suicide, every time something good happens, write it down and keep it in a jar (or something...or something...). At the end of the year, you can see all of the things you would've missed out on BUT what I don't agree with is how a poem that said nothing about suicide turns into a conversation about...suicide...O.o
