The saying is cruel. I am presently treating myself and being treated for vast mental injuries which may or may not ever completely heal. The worst injuries are well over 5 decades old. This is not temporary in the context of your life time or mine.
We are the walking wounded. We wince with many a step. Dumb assumptions/solutions only add to our burdens. Dumb assumptions/solutions can only frustrate us.
IKR! I will step in if it’s a minor but an adult no adults know where they ly in life so I wouldn’t use this line especially if I’m suicidal myself that would just make me a hypocrite
I believe that no man ever threw away life, while it was worth keeping. For such is our natural horror of death, that small motives will never be able to reconcile us to it. And tho’ perhaps the situation of a man’s health or fortune did not seem to require this remedy, we may at least be assured, that any one, who, without apparent reason, has had recourse to it, was curst with such an incurable depravity or gloominess of temper, as must poison all enjoyment, and render him equally miserable as if he had been loaded with the most grievous misfortunes.
This saying about temporary problems and permanent solutions. . . It’s trash, it’s ignorant on a level that is comical. To its creator, I ask that you walk a mile in my shoes. No, better yet, live a year with my mind, then let’s talk, and until then, try to exercise the slightest bit of empathy and intelligence, or just go drop dead.
Chill out guys. It looks ridiculous to huff and puff about someone criticizing suicide as a way out when… none of us has taken that way out, and some of us have sure talked about it for a long time…

I hate anyone who tries to talk a suicide out of suicide with DUMB assumptions/solutions.

What kind of a problem that’s severe enough to make you want to kill yourself can be temporary? That’s just ridiculous.
Exactly. As if somebody would kill him/herself over a temporary problem

Some more David Hume:

i hate the saying ‘time heals all wounds’
Eh I don’t really hate it, I just don’t find it to be true. its something that I think if it were true why are there so many suicidal people??????
Lol wounds can get infected.
I meant emotional ones
Maybe they can get infected too. Like that person who stalks their ex, because they can’t get over the relationship ending.
At some point it becomes more a case of yourself maintaining the trauma than the trauma itself. Idk.
Unless you expect to live forever, the saying technically checks out.
