Now that forum bully-type idiots are taken care of, here's my problem with the right to die philosophy, as applies to this thread.

I won't get into the larger subject area of right to die here. It's turns into a political discussion, and it's a bigger issue than I can discuss on an audio forum. I won't even say whether I agree or disagree because it's not the point as relates to this kid, Gore.

I think that it's one thing to debate life and the ending of life, it's another to do it with a young man who's going through some natural changes that make these things tough to process. It's wrong to talk about it with someone who can't yet fully take it in. If the other threads and this one have shown you nothing else, it should demonstrate the irresponsibility of discussing such a thing with someone not ready to handle it. Someone who cannot have the life experience yet, and who is yet impressionable.

Gore, since you made a thread, you must want opinions. Mine is go out a find your path first.

I have felt that way before. Not really depressed at all, but I was more willing to take risks and not worry about dieing (while not thinking I was invincible). Its kind of funny, this song for me really hit the spot. On the surface it sounds kind of dumb and I must have "listened" to it tons of times before I really listened and realized, hey thats me. Sort of ironic really



Stroke 9 - Rod Beck

So I woke up this mornin with this weird feeling
And it was kind of like I was not really myself anymore
So I ran to the mirror and it was still me
That same cynical, doubtful, unshaven, dirty look
Unshaven, dirty...

Look, I don't know what's wrong with me
I've been trying to figure it out for some time now
Talkin to people about it
It's kind of hard to explain
It's kind of like a lack of excitement about anything... hmmm...

Maybe I need to address these issues with someone who is a professional
Maybe I need to say that I wish you would leave me alone this is personal
The other night I just think
I was pissed when you told me you thought I had lost control
Maybe I need to address these issues with someone who is a professional

I don't know, maybe it's just a phase or something
I'm just going to get through or get over

Maybe I'm just jaded for the time being
You know, just desensitized from growing up in a time when
I was barraged with action movies and video games
Overblown media--hype, scandals and exposes

It's almost like my eyes are the lenses of a camera
And I'm watching everything happen around me

I've grown so accustomed to lookin at things from afar
In this weird kind of detached third person sort of way
That I find myself waiting for things to happen to me in my life
And then all of a sudden I've come to this incredible understanding
That my life is happening as all this is occurring
As I'm waiting my life is happening

This is my life and it's a little bit upsetting

So, decent family, decent upbringind, in school trying to pass exams with no ambition, no drive no dream and GF trouble... welcome to the world. You and about 50 gazillion others are probably in the same boat.

I did think my earlier post discussing Albert Camus was worthy of a bit of cyberspace, but I'll defer to your judgements of relevance and mental capacities.

My apologies if you felt "bullied" somehow.

Sounds like the Mid-20's breakdown to me.

There's no shame in getting professional help. If your family has some sort of hang-up about that, then that is their problem to deal with, not yours. If their measure of success depends on you living with a problem you shouldn't have to, then they have their own issues.

Your college probably has counceling services. You think it's some sort of admitting defeat to use it, but what you're actually deciding is that you're worth the effort. You may as well feel guilty for needing treatment for a cold.
