People should be free to decide if to exit life under their own terms.

If I look at my mind, then I can say I've been depressed mostly because I haven't known who my true mother is/was. And since I tried to project on my biological mother and the world, qualities of my true mother which were too high for them, I found myself in a captivity of sorts. Slavery, drudgery, the list of de-motivators is high.

There's another aspect; this time, about the entity I call 'me'. I set some standards for myself, but I'm too weak to be able to live the thought. Only training can help... Oh, imagine the dynamics of training. Which training is this? Where's the trainer? You don't find one as easily. 'I'm a failure' you say. Let's call it the institutionalization of Babylon, in my mind.

The deepest aspect of 'the depression' is my alienation from the unconscious. I believe that if an individual can be receptive to the unconscious, then he/she has everything he/she needs. Knowing who your true mother and father are is the sweetest thing ever. Your days are full of joy, life is eternal!

In the end depression is a good thing and should be encouraged. If one is depressed, then that person is ready for enlightenment. Just don't give up!

Suicide appears as a way out some times. But in a knowable universe you discover that death is an illusion and killing yourself is self deception. An individual's mind can't be trusted! You need to control your mind, but not the other way round.

Why "selfish"?

Coz of those you leave behind spouse, parents, kids, siblings, friends

People are left blaming themselves

Exactly.
You live with guilt for the rest of your life asking you whether you could have done it different.
Was your approach wrong? Was there a way to stop it? Where were you when it happened? Why didn't you sense it?Why,why why is what you will take to your grave.
It's done.It's over.And you have to live with that forever.

@ Hi Angelica,

There is nothing like a nicely written suicide note.
I would rather they don't even write anything.Oh I would hate to read it.
At the time of committing suicide one is not in his right mind.
It takes a LOT of strength and emotions to contemplate and eventually do it.
But what saddens me is the fact that most suicidal people will not even talk about it.They only exhibit sysmptoms which we all take for granted.
Kaa ngumu, bora uhai,yet one is a boiling lava waitng to erupt.

The prob with some traditions is they faIl to reasonate with the current status of things.
Some traditions thrive very well where ignorance is rife.They will even produce the expected results because that's all that the mind/soul knows.I don't blame them.
You and I know that flogging the dead is plain silly.
It's very soothing however to imagine that it has any positive outcome on the living.So if it gives you peace and closure to flog the dead, go ahead and do so till they repent.eeew.
There are times when God winks.

I suport this, Watu wawache notice before suicide, now look others blaming the wife here

As much as it's a personal decision, it deprives the world of your purpose and you leave innocent people behind being blamed and blaming themselves.

I say innocent because nobody is guilty of another person's suicide. It's not murder. Now, for this guy, mara it's the wife, mara the boss... I believe we're all capable of resolving whatever problems we have even by walking away.

What is your "purpose"? I think the whole "purpose" doctrine is wrong. you have no "purpose" other than what you apply yourself to. it's like a foot... capable of kicking ball... it's purpose is not "to kick the ball" but rather it's capable of kicking the ball. As the head is not "for heading the ball" but capable of "heading the ball". Purpose is in reality more to do with "suitability to doing something and actually doing it" as opposed to "being predestined to doing something".
