Dear Nova,
I appreciate your post, and can see where you are coming from. But, understanding that people who prematurely end their own lives believe that their is no other way less painful to end the pain, hurt, loss, anger, frustration and fear.
True enough for them, but does that make life any less of a gift? It is what we do with that gift, it's how we treat others with their gifts. Because some loose hope does not make loosing hope valid. Just another take on suicide, I thought I should share.

You're right, Nova: Suicide should be more openly talked. It would certainly help to talk about it, instead of keeping the motives secretive, and inside, where the feelings of hopelessness and helplessness can only fester and grow to more scary proportions.
But that's part of it, isn't it? Keeping those suicidal thoughts inside, where no one else can affect them? Where you secretly build your last resort, your last hope... where you finally find 'your own terms' for getting back at a world of suffering and hurt and injustice and backwards-ass laws?
I read a quote recently that said: "When man finds an enemy he cannot destroy he destroys himself instead." And since then, I've tried to disprove the quote by examining my bed of experience. But,... I can't. I think it might be true.
If it is, what that means (to me), is that the willingness to exert control over our realities is integral to humanity. So, let's begin a culture for humanity that permits us to live well. TO love one another, and honor one another. And to love and honor ourselves. A culture that 'enables', not 'constrains'. 'Facilitates', not 'limits'. A culture that is in harmony with its creators.
Why is the present state of the world our experience? Let's make something better. For ourselves and our own private little universes, yeah, sure. But beyond that, for the other people who feel as we do.
In the end, taking your own life is renouncing your gifts, your uniqueness. It's giving up, and giving in. It's losing sight of the universe and your place within it.
