Live for others and/or live for yourself, it’s all the same if you want to live… I am wondering what are some good causes to die for? The monks of self-conflagration seem to have a reason to live, and to save that- were willing to die. To end the oppression of others , many are willing to go to war and end lives and give their own. To ease one’s own grief,suffering, and hopelessness can be a rational reason for auto-annihilation (in certain circumstances). I am talking about being completely satisfied and at peace, and committing suicide as a proactive mass media event. Are there any non-profits or just any good causes that could use a suicide?

And…. would a national organization offering “things to suicide off to” be of any interest? I am talking big, national and global, group efforts; million man march (to death) type scenarios. Racism, Feminism, Hunger all have lifers and money to support the fight against them… In the petri dish world filled with billions of humans, we better breed faster if anyone is gonna colonize space – that’s hope (and birth control is not a good enough reason to squish your soulbug).
I am looking for others who are not monks and feel suicide can be a positive, proactive marketing tool to advance new ideas such as a new global religion, or to end faith, or support a global initiative for indentured servitude (such as working for your grandchildrens’ water rights). Also, Is there some cause that is not belief based which could use the boost of a televised mass suicide? My hope, and reason to live is to find a reason to die.
If there is enough support we can all go together; recorded and broadcast on every video stream, newscast, and radio in the world, discussed for all recorded history….letting the world know that life is meaningless and that we are willing to end it for……” “
Fact of it is mate is that the western world now automatically associates suicide with terrorism and mental disablity. If you take your life for a cause then people will immediately start to think less of the cause and youll just damage the cause rather than help it. If youre adamant on suicide for the cause you could pretend to support a bad cause like fascism, americanism or christianity then commit suicide for that and earn that cause a bad name. To be honest i think the best thing to do is live and actively raise awareness and funds for a good cause by peacefully devoting your time to it.
That’s a very good point.
Also, that fact that you would take your life anyway, regardles of the cause, really undermines the gravity of this action.
In my opinion…Giving your life for your friend is TRUE LOVE…. just saying..
