If you're not doing it for a particular reason, a particular letdown, particular deficiency, but doing it as an affirmative act then it can be valid. Very few people with everything going for them, emotionally and psychologically, are going to make that choice as as a defiant act of self-affirmation and free will though.

>> No.13047011

There needs to be a suicide service implemented to kill off useless men that are a burden on society. People who are too scared to do it themselves could pay the government to kill them. A step in the right direction.

>His speech was intended to inspire a coup d'état to restore the power of the emperor. He succeeded only in irritating the soldiers, and was mocked and jeered. He finished his planned speech after a few minutes, returned to the commandant's office and performed seppuku. The assisting kaishakunin duty at the end of this ritual (to decapitate Mishima) had been assigned to Tatenokai member Masakatsu Morita, who was unable to properly perform the task. After three failed attempts at severing Mishima's head, he allowed another Tatenokai member, Hiroyasu Koga, to behead Mishima. Morita then knelt and stabbed himself in the abdomen and Koga again performed the kaishakunin duty

Why does suicide have to relate to the outside world? There is only one really serious philosophical problem, and that's suicide. Every day we are forced to create meaning to keep us alive.

Depends. If you take the cancer of this world with you (eg. politicians, bankers, manipulating journalists) it's an act of rebellion and heroism. If you only take out yourself because you're a pussy who can't take it anymore, it's cowardice.

That would depend on the context.
I think 99% of the time it's based on a misunderstanding about death as being an actual escape route with implied survival in another form, be it in legend or an afterlife, and 1% of the time it's a substitute anaesthetic.

Althouh you could argue most impuslive suicides driven by emotion are also substitute anaesthetics, with the mind being so overwhelmed by feeling that the hereafter is never considered or imagined.

Suicide that is enacted for the ultimate purpose of fulfilling a heroic task, and/or for preserving one's, or a collective's, honour, constitutes noble martyrdom.

Suicide that is enacted for the ultimate purpose of bringing finality to one's spiritual struggle/suffering, constitutes a waste of life, and ignoble contentedness with subordinating one's life to fallenness.

Suicide that is enacted for the ultimate purpose of bringing finality to one's permanently impaired psykhe, constitutes optimization of Life.

Completely dependent on circumstance. Usually cowardness, but take the Buddhist monk in Vietnam for instance who set himself on fire as means of protest and caused an upheaval in the government as a result. It’s hard to look at that and say what he did was cowardly.
