In chatting with my good friends at Blog Catalog, the powerful question was posed: Is it morally wrong to commit suicide? This is a tender subject for many of us, and fragile from a religious perspective because so many believe that hell awaits suicide victims.
No, suicide is not morally wrong. In the end, the only freedom we really have as humans is to take our own lives. We are thrust into existence and consciousness with no say in the matter. We have to be alive, forced to exist - the remedy to that gift and curse is suicide. The only true philosophical choice we can make is to continue or cease to exist.
