“I have a dream that if a person desires to die that person should be aided to do so to help their passing be as easy as possible instead of letting them suffer alone to create a more painful exit. Death comes to us all. Why not help those that desperately need it.”
I believe there should be a program designed to test people’s desire to end their life. This program would involve doctors, but its rules would be governed by former depressed people & suicide survivors that cope with living. They will calculate a system to divide those that could be healed from their sickness from those that will live with their sickness for most their lives. If the person has what’s considered a long term problem then actions will be taken so they can enter the program.
There are too many people that suffer and the world should not simply change… it has to change, it must change! This change cannot come as fast as I imagine because of the system we live in, or rather the system we’re trap in. The system is designed to keep this change from coming and because of that more generations will suffer to the popular beliefs that are made to appear right by law or religion… when what is popular is not correct and what is correct depends on the individual and not society as a whole! No two people are alike and no person is designed to endure at the same capacity as another person.
If you can accept we have different minds, why can’t you accept that we possess different wills to live that stand within good reason, and that reason is a pain that the individual is not designed to maintain, therefore they cannot sustain and obliterate it.
No one should go through the heartbreak and pain they are forced to endure against their will. It’s because of the ignorance of people who have the will to live whom ignore compassion for the rights a human possesses to one’s own body and soul. If a person dies by accident who is to blame? Where is the sin there? Was it their time to go? Isn’t an accidental death more tragic because it’s unexpected?
Do you know how many people live with disorders that take over their whole life? They become a paycheck to the system destined to cure them: doctors, mental hospitals, and medications. So many people take depression medications that gets recycled in the water we bathe in.
If I die I would not mind my death being used as an example against this corrupt brainwashing of this society, because this corruption forced me to live amongst you and others past the desired moment I wish to have died, and this corruption blinded us from having a realistic system to know how troubled the troubled minds are before they go insane and cause damage to others that could have been prevented.
You cannot feel my pain, my anger, my fury, but it’s there and been secretly building for so long that this pain brought me here… to this place we who hurt come to hide, to hide behind our walls, to hide our beliefs from of the masses, so we can hide our names from crucifixion.
I stand here to say this now and forever it’s what I believe with all my pain and soul... ‘I hate the word that has made us the wrong and the unimportant.’ We deserve the right to live in what way we choose it to be, and we deserve the right to die in whatever way we seek it, for our bodies deserve to be free if our minds call for this plea. For those that dispute me tell me your thoughts when we’re both dead…and when we’re both dead where do you think your ‘rights’ will stand?

– I’m rather tired, if there are grammar issues I will hope to seek and fix that.
This came out from deep inside me, this is my view. I do not wish to cause anyone worry or discomfort so please take it with caution.
WHAT!!!! YOU WILL DIE!!!?? NOW? we just started talking 🙁
This is something I thought about long ago when I was young, but never imagine I would be on a website to share my thoughts….. and its not fully about me but everyone. its about control that people do not have that they should have.
oh.. then beautiful.
get some rest cause that was tiring just to read
painful to read its so much emotion, we will remember you here, hope you dont mind if i write your name down – you touched me, have a death which you created yourself and are comfortable with, love man.
Thank you… pass it on) no don’t mind my name being written down.
Silentblue, I’ve gotta say, I agree with you! This I suppose is a Utopian dream, but I hav LONG believed that people who seriously want to go (and you are right, this should be thoroughly examined and tested first) and can prove they have excellent reasons, including the one of long-term mental health problems for instance, should be able to be assisted to have a peaceful and comfortable death surrounded by caring people and harmonious surroundings.
I myself contacted Dignitas in the hope that somehow they would accept serious mental health issues as a good reason to apply for an assisted death. No dice. This double standard annoys me intensely, but it isn’t actually Dignitas’ fault. It’s the stupid old laws of the land…even Switzerland.
I have a dream too Blue, or should I say Wilfredo! Thanks for sharing your name. This really means something, coming from you. Hope you can get some much-needed rest, and I seriously hope you won’t be dying anytime soon. You would be so sorely missed. And aren’t you young! Make me feel quite the old timer. Zx
You could call me either name, but silentblue feels special to me, it’s the nick name I chosen and more original than taking the name of father and adding “Jr” to it. I’m old in depression years.))
Silentblue is a beautiful name. I think we should stick with it! Zx
Yes, please 🙂
I believe that everyone should have the right to die.
🙂 I agree
Everyone has the freedom to kill themselves already. I have in my head a compendium of ways to do it, should I so choose. I think if we’re talking about a public approach, creating an industry of euthanasia would only justify the problems that exist, which push people towards suicide, rather than help anyone in any capacity. It makes the logic and the social pressures underlying that logic more ingrained within society as a whole. I think we need radical changes in society, but ones that support the alternative of living.
Also the idea that people might make money off of providing suicide services pisses me off to no end. I think everyone has a right to die, should they so choose, but I don’t think there should be a profit in it for anyone.
Thank you my friend for you honest answer. If anyone was accepted yes that I understand your “ingrained with society” point but only a percent will be accepted. The program would help those in the way we just beginning to treat old ill people that have a short time to live. A criminal does not pay to put himself in the electric chair. Look at who I said would be in charge of the program… former suicide survivors along with depress or former depress people, why because they will handle it better I feel. The program will not be government controlled, the government only needs to pass laws to allow this program to exist. The program may have files on people they examine, but these files are for the program eyes only. You will not get the “sleep forever pill” if you’re not will to open up about yourself because the program would have nothing to judge you on.
I had other ideas like programs that should end homelessness, because over population issues and jobs, but that’s another story.
That’s the thing; suicide is difficult because the pain involved in going through with the act has to balance lower than the pain of not doing it. So a little suffering as a result of taking poison, or shooting oneself is a barrier to committing the final act if there is still a means of relieving the pain making a person consider suicide. Removing that pressure will make far more people want to kill themselves for far more reasons. It also releases a pressure to fix things within society using the logic that, hey, people have an approved “way out” if they don’t like how things are going. It’s addressing the symptoms and ignoring the disease. Like any commodity or service, overconsumption is part and parcel of the disease.
I see your point and you are right, and wrong. We already live in that world. I know someone who already said the very same thing you did and this person went through a lot, to the point where I thought they would become suicide but they did not. People want to live. The point in the program is out of 3 suicide types to help the one that is doom. The other 2 suicide types might go into a different part of the program for restoring their life.
I fully 100% get your point, I’m going to post something later in brainwashing about suicide, I just hope that I could prove something, then I’ll connect both these post by links.
@Orangish, might have to give me some time on that, my stomach doing that vibrating thing, and eating my body fat, and that means walk in this heat going to mess my head up again.
@orangish and whom was following this post… here’s kind of a continuation…
