i never thought of suicide as a selfish act. in fact, people who said that always irritated me.


if you think about it, people who think that way are selfish themselves, or at least, most of them.

imagine someone who can't obviously stand being here anymore, whose pain is so overwhelming they just want to disappear, so it will stop. isn't keeping themselves just for the sake of others surrounding them (others who love them, no argue there) more selfish? isn't making those people go through their pain just so others won't feel pain themsleves, more selfish?

i'm not in favour of suicide (i'm not against it either), but it makes me mad when people who have no idea of what goes on inside the mind of people who do it call it selfish.


everyone's entitled to their opinion, but as for me, i would never give mine about Kafka, because i never read it.
