Suicide is always considered by a large majority of people as a "selfish" act, so what about the people that force their friends, and family members to stay alive seemingly just so they can have that person for another day longer. Are they considered to be selfless? Even though their goals are manly to keep someone around for their benefit, how is that a selfless act? Whatever the reasons, may it be for self loathing, being afraid to say your sexual preference, being alone, or just to end it all. It is for their reasons, and their reasons alone, but as human beings our fear of loss is too great to understand someones yearning for death. When faced with death almost everyone acts as if they are an expert in life, for we all know what it is like breath, love, feel happiness, everyone can say stay alive for pride, everyone can say stay alive for your loved ones, everyone can say stay alive just to be alive. Is that enough though? Is anything they say good enough, what is life without death? Death as well as life are things that help aid in our identity for humanity as a whole. You cannot have one without the other, why deny things that shape who we are?
On the other hand though life can be beautiful, free, liberating, how can someone wish to deny such awesome sensations, for a hole in the ground that they get to call home. Feelings of love can be so fiery and amazing how can one wish to end any chance of feeling it ever again, or at all. Even though it has its moments where all you want to do is rip your hair out and scream, at least you have another chance to feel that great warm feeling of staring someone in the eyes and saying that you love them. Or the satisfaction of working towards a goal sweating, stressing, working your fingers to the bone, then finally finishing your job no matter what it is you did it, and the feeling of a job well done I know for me sometimes can surpass any feeling in the world. It is hard though because some goals are longer than others, sometimes the job seems impossible, but anything you do is possible if you work hard enough to do it. To summarize all good feeling that exist in this world though would take blogs, upon blogs to actually get an idea of the good there is in life. Life as well as death are things that help aid in our identity for humanity as a whole. You cannot have one without the other, but death is so permanent, and life only happens for a fraction of a time, I know personally for me I would prefer a fraction of life, to an eternity of death.
