I know that it feels like a good way out of the bullshit that life throws at you. but its the cowards way out. suicide has never helped anyone. and i know you dont want the world to see you but you are a beautiful person and you cant see it. you just cant see that there is a place beyond the bullshit. there is a place just on the brink of perfection and you will get there one day. the world is going to change whether its for better or for worse there will always be that happy place but killing yourself will only mean that you never find that place, it will only mean that you will be placed in a small box and thrown into the ground. but you know what life is shit, life is just a ***** that wants to fuck it up. but dont even think about doing anything stupid because i swear to god things will change and you will be there to see it

“Suicide is the cowards way out” is such a bullshit, untrue cliché. Have you ever sat on your bed with a loaded gun pointed at your head? Ever stand on a bridge and peer over the edge contemplating the jump? It’s anything but cowardice to pull the trigger or make the leap.
Whenever I hear “it’s the cowards way out”, I figure the person saying that has never been perched on the ledge, staring out into the abyss.
People that refer to it as ‘the cowards way out’ because people who want to live will always empathise with the relatives and see it from their point of view rather than the person contemplating suicide. It’s either used as a scare tactic or people making the comment don’t understand or really care about the issue. ‘Suicide is selfish’ is another one they like to use.
Suicide is the cowards way out because it takes a short view. If you jump off a ledge then you’re a coward for not sticking around with the other soldiers who are being bombed, attacked and shot at. It’s like the guy who deserts his troupe in the army. Suicide is selfish is the same, “Eh, I’ve had enough of this war. I’m going to Canada, drink Moosehead beer, eh”
I didn’t sign up for any war.
In fact, I didn’t sign up for anything. Reminds me of the old phrase, “With friends like this, who needs enemies?” If suicide is the cowards way out, then fuck the courageous pricks. I hope they get shrapnel to the knee.
Suicide is only selfish from the perspective of the people left behind. Who’s actually selfish? The person who leaves, or those left behind who are bitter that someone who wasn’t interested in staying left?
Also: Deserting an Army you joined voluntarily isn’t the same as refusing to participate in something you never asked to be a part of.
Life consists of a series of choices. Making an unpopular decision doesn’t mean you’re wrong.
