people who want to kill themselves and others as well, like terrorists, but for people who want to peacefully end their own lives, why don't we feel sorry for inflicting life on people who don't want it? Can suicide be the rational choice of a mentally competent human being? ■ 9/14/2017 I don't believe suicide is coded in human DNA. Staying alive is. In most situations, [suicide is] an irrational decision caused by mental illness. When you're mentally ill, you do not make rational decisions. Genetics, brain injury or stress can tip anyone into a mentally ill state. And that is why it's a problem. ■ WTP Member Since: 01/02/04 Post: 196 of 665 9/14/2017 I think a little bit of humor goes a long way every day in helping us with the grind. I think that's missing in a lot of our lives. It's hard to laugh when we are eyeballs-deep in debt. But we have to. It's impossible to be perfect all the time. And we can't please everyone all the time. ■ laik Member Since: 04/15/14 Post: 212 of 665 9/17/2017 Remember: You don't have to practice alone!
