I have been for a long time and I&#8217;ve been meaning to mention it for a while but it&#8217;s never seemed like the right time&#8230;not sure there is one tho. Anyway I think it&#8217;s a good thing. I have no problem at all with someone who is so unhappy and so unhopeful for the future that they are prepared to kill themselves doing so. Of course there is a chance that said person will come out of it ok and get on with their life and be happy but if they don&#8217;t want to take that chance, that&#8217;s also fine by me.<\/p>\n<p>I have no idea what the source of this is but something which stuck with me for a long time is a line which goes something like this:<br \/>\nYou are not allowed to kill yourself if there is a single person in the world who cares about you.<\/p>\n<p>I think it&#8217;s a good line, it makes sense and it&#8217;s even kinda fair. It&#8217;s about the only single argument against topping oneself I can come up with. The affect on others is harsh to say the least. It&#8217;s also probably worth pointing out that I don&#8217;t know anyone who has actually killed themselves, and I know very few people who have been affected by suicide. It&#8217;s just something I have an opinion on and so it sits here.<\/p>\n<p>For the record I have never seriously considered suicide&#8230;and for those of you who ponder over the word seriously, don&#8217;t, I never did \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>Flippant, Moi? Yes, perhaps but then again this is the place for it.<\/p>\n<p>In closing, I may not be the happiest I have ever been in my life (ha, ya know it would take some thinking to figure out when that was) but I have been worse and I&#8217;m no-where near miserable enough to kill myself.<\/p>\n<p>This post I am immensely pleased to note was brought to you by Garbage&#8217;s <i>Version 2.0<\/i> which I have not heard in years and years.
