I salute anyone with the conviction to plan and take their own life. What other sovereignty does another human have save over their own life?

Also your snark reveals some inherent metaphysical assumptions. They may or may not be wrong, but why assume we all hold them?

My snark more comes from years of trudging through some pretty horrible experiences as well as a slew of mental problems.

I live with trauma that I deal with on a daily basis. Paranoia for days and a lot of pain.

I dont salute those who take there own lives; I’ve thought about taking mine for a decade before giving up on the idea. If you mean something to someone; don’t take your life, it hurts them way more then it hurts you to go on living. You can’t help anyone if you are dead; it’s rather selfish.

Suicide is for assholes or cowards; I award no points, your life is precious, make it worth living.

Well, if you're going to be snarky about it, all I'll reply with is the famous Big Lebowski quote: "Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, _your_ opinion, man."
