Suicide is a sticky topic for many people...largely for cultural reasons. The main reason I didn't kill myself when I wanted to is that it would devastate my mother, but I have found the acceptance of it as a possibility, freeing, in the past. (NB: I'm not suicidal, don't worry)
Telling to note how you felt the need to insert a disclaimer that you're not suicidal. People are conditioned to immediately react to the idea of suicide as if it is the most horrible atrocity that must be stopped at all costs, under the shared presumption that suicide is bad.
Yes, indeed. Whilst suicide often comes alongside sad situations, tremendous suffering, minds torturing themselves and so on, we generally have an unskillful & unkind relationship to suicide, and death in general. Sarah Perry’s writing is probably the best I’ve on the topic.
Good thread!
Other cultures and other time periods did not share our hang ups about the subject. It's one of the few things that just about everyone, regardless of political or religious ideology, views as a taboo. I think it's related to a taboo surrounding death more generally...
