Pyrrho on selfishness

I was looking for something else.. and found this instead... From here: http://able2know.org/topic/151812-1 - LittleMathYou

I think a 9 year old killing himself is a good representation of suicide as a whole. Selfish,short-sighted, and always looking for an escape. Although it seems insensitive for me to say this, I think we just need to realize that those things are apart of deciding to end your life.

Pyrrho

It is funny that people who stay alive because they want to, call people "selfish" who kill themselves because they want to. (It is like those who have children because they want children calling childless couples selfish for not having children because they don't want to have children.)

And it is absurd to call a solution to all of life's problems forever a "short-sighted" solution. The 9 year old could not possibly have come up with any other solution to his problems that would have been so complete and long lasting.
