I guess the question of why would be relative to one’s beliefs, perception and world view. If the answer to the question is different due to this, then there are different results with each answer. Some might believe the why was: because they deserved it or God wanted it that way or human suffering is pay back or whatever other beliefs people have about the reasons why they want out. Do they exist to be beaten, maligned and controlled? Do they exist just to suffer? To be targets for predators of Child Abuse, rape and murder? We know all of the good things… Sometimes they get covered up in the bad. I think more than anything, people who want to die, ask themselves, the Universe and all gods “why am I here? For what purpose must I hurt beyond my control? Beyond what I can bear…”
But I’m still here, still bearing when I thought I needed to escape the unbearable. Was I a fool to hang around waiting to die or should I take the quick option and kill myself? Was that cheating? Not knowing is what keeps me waiting. Does that mean that those who do take their lives have absolute faith? Absolute knowledge? Or are they just in absolute Hell? Are they absolutely past caring? Perhaps there is no right or wrong answer…or maybe no answer at all. Perhaps we just exist to exist. We live we die – rinse and repeat…
Kait you are lovely. Stick around if only for this fond blogger!
I get what you’re saying I think it’s a mix of all these factors when someone takes the unutterably tragic step to end their life. Fortunately I don’t really know and I’m not suicidal.

Thank you Henry…oh I don’t plan to do anything but I’ve ridden that razor blade before so have a great understanding. That’s beside the studies, work and research stuff! So many people suffer but never say…I want people to know it’s ok to feel like this, you can come back, you can talk yourself around or make that call. Glad you don’t and hope you never ever do suffer🙏🌻🧡
