Even though the way i put things. i do agree with you. aside what i think of the act itself, i think people who do come to that point have obviously got something up, it is not normal to be in that state of mind, but in reality, from the outside it is a stupid thing to do.
it all depends how you view compassion. i mean if someone who is over weight is crying because they are over weight, and food is how to cheer them up...is it compassionate to hand them food in atempt to comfort them? or is it compassionate to tell them to do something about it and get them to a join a gym?
sometimes u have to be cruel to be kind. I want to be a psychologist because i want to give people the skills so they themselves can improve their lives, that is not possible by saying there there i understand. You have to be to the point, do u want this or not?
what i always said to people contemplating commiting suicide is. Imagin you have just taken a overdose. your in the moment of actualy dying, and u suddenly realise u dont want to die...but its already to late. no ones in the house and ur too weak to get help. do you want to risk that? it usualy makes them cry.....but they also generally realise the stupidy of that situation and work through their problems.
