I can see how you might think that, from the outside looking in, but the reality is quite different. A person has to be in a very distressed or disturbed state to consider, attempt or succeed in taking their own life. It is always tragic, sometimes bewildering, never an insult to family and friends. They may very well feel hurt and angry by such a death of a love one, but have never yet dealt with a suicide where the motivation was to insult anybody.

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyYou once started a thread where you claimed you would rather die than blame your God figure for adversities, and you would rather die than mislead anyone on points of bible doctrine. Would dying in those situations have been your choice and against your God figure's will, or would it have been your God figure's choice that you die?

If that's true, then what's with the worrying over 'superimposing [one's] own will over [God's]' by committing suicide?

A simple belief that I hold, that has served me well in my life, is the notion that a genuine friend is someone who will bring out the absolute best in you.
Important to learn early in life how to differentiate between a so-called "friend," and a true blue, will-give-you-the-shirt-of-their back friend...
Applicable in marriage as well 🙂
