The following post was written by me about 3 years ago. It was written on a different forum than this one. I found it to be an interesting read. It was especially interesting comparing my thoughts then and my thoughts now.
*********************************************************
I'm contemplating suicide for not so much emotional reasons so much as logic. Even when I'm happy (which is not right now I'll admit) I still feel suicide would be the better option.
------Faithlessness-------
Any smart person knows that no religeon exists, I think this theory is about as truthfull as the theory of gravity, sure it COULD be wrong but I doubt it. Having no faith and beleving that I simply cease of have my conciousness on the world, I am not afraid of death as I will one day die and it won't be any different to dieing now.
------Family-------
I struggle with empathy. I don't give two sh**ts about tragic events that don't directly affect me. I'm dyspraxic and I THINK that has something to do with it. For example if a friends mother died, sure I would try to be there for them and I'd pretend to care, but in reality it doesn't phase me in the slightest.
I would get over it very quickly were a close family member to die, but then again I don't like (almost hate) most of my family tree.
My father has asbergers syndrome and is just about the stupidest person I know. He cant listen to what someone is telling him long enough to take in a logical arguement. He is incapable of common sence and has his priorities all wrong. Cleanliness is just about his topmost of priorities. He will interupt me from last minuite cramm study for a university exam to go and tidy my room. It is imperritive above all things that I am in bed by 11:30 (I'm 20 and I still have a bedtime). My father just the other night was shocked to find out that stars are actually other suns and that some of them are even BIGGER than the sun.....
My mother is a horrible vindictive woman, none of my friends like her. She has ZERO respect for privacy and, for some reason I've never figured out, seems to go out of her way to invade privacy. She is quick to point out peoples flaws in a blunt manner (irony here I'll admit) and she is manipulative to the point that my caution level around her of what I say and do is near schizophrenic. You never know when you will let something slip just gossiping that she will twist and before you know it you have stabbed a friend in the back unintentionally.
My Nana (thank god she died a few weeks ago) was the clear creation of mum and is everything mum is but worse. My nana will be having a casual conversation with you and then BLAM she will go strait for the jugular. an example: my grandparents had been living in our house and I walked out of the bathroom having just dried my hands on the towel that happened to be there at the time, and just as I walked out she screamed at me "don't you DARE use my towel again! EVER!". Another time my mother offered for my girlfriend to join us for tea and then just as grandad was serving dinner I mentioned that we needed another plate. My nana grew a stern look on her face and said in a discusted voice "how rude to announce another guest after dinner has already started getting served" which put my girlfriend in such a spot she cried.
My grandad is the grandist stoic you have ever met. His wife just died and his house got destroyed in the christchurch earthquakes and I havn't seen him so much as complain, whimper or cry once.
My dads brothers and sisters I don't see or care to see.
My mothers sister is a heavenly refuge of such a crap family tree and is the best aunt you could hope for, her son is equally so and he is possibly my best friend despite being 5 years older than me.
My dads mother was just strait up strange. My mothers first dinner with dads parents was a strange occasion. During the entire dinner, it was insisted by dads mother that all conversation would be held in french, despite the fact that she was the only one at the table who was able to speak any french at all.
My grandad on my father's side was senile before I was born.
-------Lack of faith in humanity-------
I can't stand the stupidity of MOST people. It's mind numbing to think just how many peoplethere are that have no curiosity, believe what they are told and never question it. All religeon should have been ruled out as myth decades ago. We have enough knowledge of the nature of the universe now to provide all bar proof that religeon is bollucks.
The economy directly makes people strive for selfish gain and not care about the good of the human race or even the nation they live in. The world should be united by now, in the common interest of progress and technology, rather than fighting over crude oil and worsening global warming. I'm not a smart person, I failed school by a long shot and I am struggling with uni, but I know more about the nature of the universe that we live in than probably 30 of your average persons put together. I don't have any close relationships (be it friend family or other) with anyone who is what I deem "smart"(not book smart but open minded I guess is a better way of phrasing it).
--------No interest in being part of a sick society that is compulsory------
I have zero interest in taking part in society. Why should i spend 40 hour of my week for the rest of my life doing work so that I can earn bits of paper that are deemed to have value by governments. Governments by the way whose laws I was born into and had no say or sway in. From the moment I was born, I had no right to live like a primitive human (food, shelter, land and clothing all require a lot of money). The laws are invented by those in power and are enforced by a false sence of moral obligation to uphold the law and the threat of captivity (prison) which would be hell. Even in New Zealand, which I thought was one of the more civil countrys, there is rape and abuse in prisons on a regular basis. I read an article about "escaping the system" and this guy managed to live on $4000 a year (which still has to come from somewhere) but just to live this close to out of the system he was eating out of trash cans and practising other unsanitary and undignified habbits.
quite apart from the moral objection to this. I am quite a lazy person and I would sooner just commit suicide than be forced to work 40 hours labour for my whole life before dieing. I am too "smart" (if you will) to be able to handle 40 ours a week of labour, yet I'm too dumb to succeed in education. I'm trapped, I beleve, by being smart but dyspraxic meaning I'm intelligent but my capacity to learn is limited, so I fail any attempts at education I partake in in hopes of avoiding low paid boring work.
------Lack of empathy------
I think I skipped over this earlier, but I don't possess much empathy. I don't care for those who will be affected by my suicide, in fact, I would seemany of those who are closest to mesuffer (even though I won't see it which is all the more reason why I don't care how they take it)
-------Stuck at home-------
I am stuck living at home because I can never hold a job for very long (I cant stand working, it is suicidingly depressing)
even if I manage to pass the uni degree I am currently doing. Thatwould leave me at home for another 10 or so years to finish my study. 10 Years of no freedom living amongst people I despise.
-------Counciling-------
Councellors only seek to diagnose me as either depressed or not depressed and I don't get horrifically depressed, there are certainly others worse off than me.So all I get is the implied "Why are you complaining? You aren't 'depressed'"
any councellor that I open up to turns against me and puts pressure on me to stop being lazy and and they just dismiss all my views as invalid because they can't see the flaw in the system like I do. I get encouraged to get off my ass and get a job (which only presses me closer to suicide).
-------Ambition------
My two ambitions in life are A: to see what technology and knowledge unfolds in my lifetime and B: to become a research scientist and be at the front line of new discoverys (at this point I'm favoring biochemistry). My dream to become a scientist is a dim chance as I struggle to learn beyond the trivial fun facts of science. My ambition to see the world unfold is not enough to wait a lifetime of unhappiness to see before I die at which point it doesn't matter anyway what I did and did not see.
--------friends--------
I don't have any friends that I relate well to. I have friends that I can have a good time with but noone to have intelligable conversations with. Everyone is too damn stupid.
I was talking with an aquaintance about the possibility of time travel, based on the false premise I had at the time, thinking that wavelenge was at all related to the speed of light. Long story short, I argued that perhaps red light travels faster than white light (thought came from looking at the light spectrum) and, right around this time, a friend of mine piped up unjokingly "well it makes sence because they say red cars travel faster than other cars". Another friend of mine thought the moon was about the size of a car.
------End-----
I can't really think of anything else to wrap it up so I'll leave it at that. My reasons for a logical suicide.
