Depression?

[xise]

As with xise, when you talk about the wisdom or love in relation to suicide. What does it matter? God gives us a decision making process that we can use. It doesn't have to reference these things.

I'll try to word my statements less strongly, but I promise you the words I spoke were not meant or felt as judgements. Any perceived passion in my words were not reflections of a judgement on the choice of suicide, but perhaps a lack of understanding of how others could think about suicide without thinking through all of the outcomes - in essence thinking through the wisdom of the act. My bad. Definitely a distortion of mine to work upon - I have trouble accepting people who I perceive, correctly or incorrectly, make major life altering decisions without considering all the ramifications. Though certainly, even assuming I'm not mistaken about how much thought was given to the subject, such a decision making process is ultimately acceptable.


I guess I've just seen this reasoning a ton when I worked with people who started using meth/heroin recreationally without thinking about it and got hooked. (I actually oddly have no problem with those who knew what they were getting into and became a methhead) I truly believe there is no right or wrong. But there are still observations we can make about the way we view concepts and how we interact with that illusion, and consequences within the illusion, and that's what I was trying to discuss, on a practical level and on a universal level. I can also say that I too have taken comfort in the the thought of suicide in the past, and did not judge myself for it, but I was always honest and acknowledged that it was also an unwise act. But there's nothing wrong with unwise acts.


If we switch off our ability to discern or think between different courses of actions, it impairs our ability to contemplate, introspect, and ultimately impairs our ability to learn and discovery who we truly are. Which is ok too, but it's important to be honest about all the outcomes of the choice to not care about wisdom.

A free will choice is more free when a contemplated decision is arrived at as opposed to an impulsive or less thought through decision (for major life decisions). Though either is acceptable.
