I just read the article on the frontpage on the Buddhist monk confronting suicide culture in Japan, and had read previously about Tojimbo cliffs where many young Japanese men go to die, and felt a similar dissonance from the comments.
Having lost friends and family-of-friends to self-induced death, and having felt some dissonance about the acceptability of suicide as an idea or behavior, I thought that I would ask y'all.
How does HN feel about suicide? Irresponsible and irreverent waste of opportunity? final personal right and exertion of control over personal experience in a chaotic universe? disrespectful drag on human betterment?
