Disclosure

This may sound a bit depressing, but it came to mind as I allowed myself to wander earlier. That is, what if life (or being alive) isn't what it's all choked up to be. I mean it's the law in religion and region that we should intervene if someone is trying to commit suicide but what if their life sucked? Maybe they were awkward around people and didn't have any close friends, or maybe they had no course in life-no career, no money, no goals. So why is it fair that they be condemned to eternity in purgatory (or a 'hell') when all they wished for was a non existence?

Life isn't an amazing and wondrous thing for everyone. Sometimes people do reach out for help and for a short time they do get the love and attention they need. But when all of the hype and media of early death has died down, these people are once again left alone in their quiet misery. Not everyone wants to be alive or to find purpose in life. Not everyone is loved or understood so I don't understand why religions that preach love and hope should persecute those simply fed up with existence when they offer no long term solutions (except for the threat of being banned from heaven) should one decide to end their own life.

Note: I am not intent in any way to end my life, but this idea of ethics when approaching suicide came up as a passing thought. That in a world of free will, everything is up to you, your decision, except when it comes to your own life.
