Do you consider a suicidal person a “coward”?

[Willow]

Ive seen this reply on more than one occasion. And no it isnt one specific user.
As much as I hate controversial topics/things that have a truly opinionated response, this one I am genuinely curious to see what people have to say
You can say yes or no. But elaboration of why would be super dope too.

[Saviour]

No. I think the opposite is true, it takes a lot of courage to go through with it.

[jynextremist]

is a suicidal person a coward ? its difficult to answer because you cannot know what he/she has been through, whats life is like. Every one has difficult times but some people may not be able to tolerate all that. Then again, why suicide ? if you are going to be able to get happy sometime later in your life, then your life is definitely worth living. My personal opinion; do not just give up, find a way out, it will be more interesting and fun then

[Azriel]

No. Actually, they're being brave. They are still fighting back the reason why they're not ending their lives yet. They just don't know it.

P.S. I can't further elaborate for meh is not gooder in ingles.
P.P.S. I cri.
P.P.P.S. Meeeeeheeeeeeeeeeh. This is how I sound when I cry.

@willoww it has nothing to do with courage, and everything to do with thinking there is no alternative, your life won't improve, the only way out of your misery is to take the forever nap.

[Willow]

@us-poet but why would someone call the person a coward? Thats what I am failing to understand

[Azriel]

@willoww because he is a cow? o_O

[Cam780]

The term is coined by people who simply want to be antagonistic, and the reasoning behind using such a phrase is always rudimentary. This isn't a question for it never had any ground to stand on. The phrase usually ignores any factors that play against it. But hey that's just a theory. A philosophical theory. Thanks for reading.

[US poet]

@willoww because they think they're taking the easy way out and have no idea how brain chemicals fuck you, and control every aspect of your life, and they've probably never dealt with depression.

[jynextremist]

@us-poet hmm so poet is not just a poet, hmmm interesting

[Unknown4123]

@willoww I totally agree with what @Zazzles said once that the people committing suicide successfully are brave cowards. They are brave enough to end their lives or harm themselves, but they fear facing challenges in their life. And I honestly believe that every problem in this world has a solution. And so, no problem is worth losing your life. All you need is some help from people who will show you a way to get to the solution.

This poster in a psychiatrist's office compares those "hanging in there"
to a Marine stranded behind enemy lines, its almost borderline stupidity to call such a person a coward.

[Calisthenics]

@willoww I don't think it's braveness or cowardness or anything else but just lack of thinking power. They need to think "How can suicide be the solution to a problem when you won't be in this world to see it anymore ?"

[Devesh Sharma]

@willoww no butt suicide is not the solution for anything,there is only one life we get we should value and respect it

[US poet]

@jynextremist I'm just a man who's experienced a lot, and knows how to write it legible and interestingly.

[anup123]

@willoww -I personally feel it should gnot be called a suicidal person a brave person, nor he or she is a coward...There are some people who take a decision within no period of time and some of them try suicide,some of them realise themselves its an idiotic gesture when that particular moment is interrupted. Some people on the other hand try suicides for after thinking it for a long time, we cannot judge them, we don't know what mental state they are going through. They try it when they think that there is no hope left,and the people who call them coward are just critics who has never gone through that trauma which a person goes and reaches the breaking point. But I could call these suicidal people fools, as they don't see the people who are effected by their death,they don't see the people who are around them to love them.They don't realise how they push someone to grief for the entire life.

[Jack17]

@willoww Hell NOOO, suicidal persons or the persons who've had comitted or tried to commit suicide r not cowards. No one here knows what situations those people r going through in dere life so calling those people cowards wud be a huge disrespect for em , we don't know dere mental conditions n d amount of stress dey must be goin through. It's just dat everyone does not have the same level of endurance, some choose to fight n some choose to just let go. Therefore we should motivate em rather dan calling em cowards n making d situation worse.

[kaitlyn leigh]

i dont know, do they actually have the balls to do it?

[Pamela]

I believe it has nothing to do with cowardice. People who commit suicide usually choose this route because they cannot find another way to end their pain. They cling to life, but they feel drowned in their own problems, and aren't able to find a solution. I think the people who call them cowards have never gone through a similar situation, and don't know what it's to suffer to the point of wanting to end your life.
