What Are You Thinking? Continued 4

Killing assholes only makes more of them. We need to fix them. Pour some compassion and empathy in them. Like a shot or vaccine.

Ahhh...

Ecstasy *nods. Good plan.

If history had taught us nothing, it is that killing those we don’t like just makes us assholes like them.

There's also the school of thought that the world would be a dull place if everyone thought the same way. 7 Billion people who thought the same as me would be pretty crappy.

I couldn’t even imagine! Shutters. But if they were nice and helped each other it would not Beto bad. Boring as fuck but not horrid.

I was thinking of the Matrix and how the computers tried giving humans a perfect would and they all died of boredom.

 

[Joe_Bob_Gautama]

LOL, far too gone for any help. I'm just facing reality head-on and it sucks. I have no one to talk to and I doubt anyone has anything they can say that'll change anything. I know what I face and it was foolish of me to think going back would help things. I know you want to try and help me, but not knowing anything about me, makes that a futile endeavour. I was just hoping I could escape some of that reality a bit by coming back here. I was wrong and admit as such.

I haven't made anyone happy by coming back, I saw that, so there's no reason for me to stay and disrupt everyone else's good time, or whatever you do here now.

Such thoughts have crossed my mind. So I say what I say compassionately. Someone is going to have to move your carcass, and clean up the mess you made. And he or she will be traumatized by it. Spare a thought for that person, you selfish prick. Is that how you want to be remembered? Soldier on, and take the blows life gives you. Don’t let yourself be remembered as nothing more than a terrible inconvenience.

It was already out in public. I feel nothing but empathy. And it might help someone else who feels the same way to hear these things talked about, to know they are not alone.

You think that what you said is at all helpful? You think that guilting someone about there having to be someone to clean up after a suicide is helpful? You think guilt is at all helpful?

I've told you before, and I'll tell you again. Fuck off.

And Royce wasn't saying he was fucking suicidal, he was saying he has a hard life, and not sure Lit is the right fit for him (I think it is by the way Royce, I like having you here, not that my opinion counts for much, but still)

Fuck you asshole, you don't know shit about me to make a statement like that. Keep your fucked up opinions to yourself, or have the decency to understand my situation before offering up this crap.

And this is why I said PM. Sigh.
Calm down guys. It seems he means well even if his words did not show it.
Let’s hug this out and move on.

Royce your always welcome here. Life is not fair, full of shitty people and happiness was never promised to anyone, but hey everyone is living that reality. Your not alone. Talk to folks, vent and know your still good people.

I'm not suicidal or I would have done it long ago. A person can only be tortured so much before their mind breaks down. I face pain every day, all day with no time off. I have nothing left in my life to enjoy, it was all taken from me after the accident. I've tried to find something in life to look forward to, but there's nothing for me. I came here hoping Lit was still a fun place, but it's changed into something I don't fit in to.

Tol, you've always been a stand up guy I respect very much and thank you for your input.

 

[JerseyJade]

Royce, I do understand you're in pain. The only thing I can do is pray for you. Just don't give up. Tomorrow is a new day and you never know what that day will bring you. I hope you find your happiness one day.

I worked for years at a psychiatric hospital, and learned of people I’d begun to care about dying. I tend to overreact whenever someone seems to be in emotional distress, but I don’t always do the right thing. My intentions are always good, though. I’m truly sorry that I’ve upset some people here. I will sincerely try to learn and be better.

As the child of someone who did kill themselves and had to stay and watch as things were cleaned up, it’s extremely traumatic for everyone involved and no joking matter. I don’t like that you say “carcass” my dad wasn’t a “carcass” he was a human. He also wasn’t selfish or a prick, those statements make it very clear you don’t understand suicide or the depths of depression someone is in to take their own life. My dad was definitely not an inconvenience. He was loved and he’s missed everyday you mother fucking insensitive asshole!

 

[RoyceConnors]

People, try to imagine the pain I'm in, so here's something to help you. Imagine the last time you smacked your knee off the corner of the table or fell on it hard and remember that feeling of how you could barely move. Now imagine that your knee has been replaced and you're just getting it working well again and you're riding a motorcycle. Imagine a car driving into your hip and thigh and then crushing said knee between the bike and car and being bounced off the car using same said knee. I've seen 3 surgeons who all say the same thing, nothing can be done and if we try, we could make it worse. I'm not one to give up or roll over and die, but reality is reality and I'm man enough to face it head on.

That's just that part of things. They say there's more wrong with me than right and wonder how I survive and cope as well as I do. I just wanted to have some fun here to forget that I hurt, but that seems impossible now. I despise sympathy and pity, but understanding and compassion go a long way.

I was fully aware of the impact of using the word “carcass.” I was trying to paint an ugly picture of death for someone contemplating taking his own life. And it seems to have worked—there are a lot of people too pissed at me to do worse things. Which I think of as a victory.

 

[Misshotndeep]

SUBJECT CHANGE! Let’s talk about something more fun and less depressing for us ALL.

This.
Suicide is often a final act of desperation... I really hate when people make comments about how selfish it is.
Shi I’m sorry about your Dad.

Royce wasn’t fucking suicidal!!! What you did was dredge up awful terrible shit and act like the most insensitive person on Lit.
