I feel like committing suicide is the ultimate act of telling the world to fuck right off. In our society where everything is out of our hands and we are prisoners in a system where we have to “choose”, killing yourself is the only way out. We’re not free unless we’re dead. We’re not truly living, unless we’re dead. There has been an illusion, created to ease our minds, that we can take life in our own hands. We choose where to live, what to study, which job to practice, who we marry, if we have children, where we go, how we sleep, what we eat. But on the other hand, I feel like we have no choices at all.
You have to participate in our society because of the basic necessities like clean water and a roof over your head. The comfort we’re used to is impossible to achieve if you’d live outside of our society. But if you want these basic necessities, you have to take along everything else too. The pressure to perform, to choose difficult courses so you have high grades and graduate with an honor mentioning. We have to attend the best uni’s and study for years and years to get a piece of paper that allows us to solicit for a job. Then you become an ultimate grey mouse: you get up, eat, go to work, work all day, come home, eat, sleep and repeat. For the rest of your life. With the occasional holidays/weeks of free time when you try to forget how fucked everything is. But it’s never enough to “recover” from a year of hard work. Then you grow old. You take care of grand children, go golfing, go to the sea. You fall or go crazy or can’t take care of yourself anymore so you to a retirement home. There you’re bored shitless.
Then you die.
Suicide seems a much better option than a whole life of this bullshit. It’s the only action you fully decide yourself: to live or to die.

I’d say bringing the world to its knees is the ‘ultimate fuck you’
nah, I disagree. Beside the fact that’s not even possible, in a world that pushes you to keep going and striving above and beyond yourself, refusing to go with it and killing yourself is the ultimate fuck you
Don’t you want to see them devouring one another while their grand illusion shatters? If you kill yourself no one except your family and close people are going to notice. The rest will look down on the casket with big eyes and fake tears and think ‘yet another weakling bites the dust’, without even having met you. Will you take that? Don’t you want to fight back and take what’s rightfully yours?
It doesn’t matter though, what is rightfully mine then? A place in this shit world?
Ur both right but sander I agree with ur logic as individuals we dont possess the strength to hurt society but we can choose to leave…
We do, it’s called strategy. At first people may seem overpowered because of their numbers, and by no means do i suggest you should underestimate the great strength that lies within numbers, but at a second glance you start to detect structural weaknesses that are exploitable, of course, with or without help from individuals similar to yourself or whom at the very least share the same objective
I agree with your logic but your suicide won’t affect the world or change shit. The only one your hurting is yourself. Nobody is going to give a fuck but maybe your family but in time theyll get over you too. The one who was to weak and sensitive for this world. Yeah my only point is the world don’t give a F*** about you now so in death they wouldn’t give a F*** either.
Yes, I know that. I don’t care that the world doesn’t care, the realization of this has made me sure of wanting to commit suicide. It’s about not having to suffer for my whole life, the world doesn’t care if I live or die. Ofcourse my family do, but yes they will move on. So why not then?
You got it bud. You’re right.
That doesn’t mean all hope is lost though, far from it, but it is a huge impediment to happiness.
What if the best way to defeat your enemy is by becoming his friend?
I’d love to meet you c4 and listen to your philosophy about life and such. You can speak alot of wisdom when you want to.
You are so right the best way to beat your enemy is be their friend. Took me all my life to realise I’m my own worst enemy. I’m now my own bestfriend and I’m the only friend I got haha
haha that last sentence. How does one become the best friend of this bullshit world though?
You put in words what I have always thought! It is true, and I hate it!
As a (real and very literal) slave I can tell you: death is the ultimate fuck you to all of those who want to use you, who want your money or moral support. Death is the only way to be finally free and I’m glad someone besides me gets it. Everybody thinks that things can be changed but no, it’s just an illusion.
