Many things can make a person end their life like sorrow and grief, pain and agony but also honour. Like the Japanese kamikaze pilots and fighters who take their lives for: their families to get reward and honour like money, to save many other peoples lives or just purely for patriotism. Are they wrong in doing so? Is their lives more worth than many others? I must say, for all options and decisions people make when they commit suicide, it depends very much on the situation they are in (and that makes it very difficult to say whether they are right or wrong in doing so, and also what could be done). I think that life is what you make of it, and every one could in theory do anything with their own lives but they must remember that they will be facing the consequences of their doings, whether there are rules and regulations involved or not. If someone now wants end their life for the benefit of relatives, family and others close to the person, I would think that if the person has balanced every option and thought about the consequences of their doings, it is entirely up to them. Some might think that it is a foolish thing to take your life, even to save others because there could be other options, but I think that if the situation is that by taking their lives in a war, by doing so, defeating the enemy and so saving the lives of among others the closest to them, it is a positive doing where the circumstances are beneficial to many and death (which the person would of course take into consideration) are positive, also there might not be any other options, and if there are, then they would not be possible to be thought of at the time as people might die the next thirty seconds. Also it is acceptable from my opinion if the person has accomplished in creating a family, people who would move his generation on.
To die in honour of your county is what some might think is good for you showing a strength, but by ending your life? And not being able to do anything else which you could have done instead? Well I think every one as individuals could make a difference, and maybe choosing another option (could take more time to do something as great for your county as dying, but it would keep you alive and giving you the chance to see it happening). The country is run by people, people from my opinion are never perfect and so what makes their lives more worth that yours? It could be that we are all creatures of a race and are classed as one, so then it is in order for us to prosper to function as one and if one death is required to save lives, it is in our nature to perform such action. But then it could also be that there are other ways to honour your country and be there to receive the gratitude, I think the same goes for suicide that is done in order to save people.
Some people say that suicide is a weak act meaning it is stronger to over live the hard times and try with all might to make it better. I would here say that how can anyone say so, unless they have experienced such hard times followed by suicide and then living to see what they could have missed, that is impossible. Also, if the person has actually, tried and tried with all their might to make things better (which I would think they have before taking their life, other wise it is weak and stupid in my eyes) and it just does not work and their energy is gone, then what’s the point of living in agony? I would agree to some extend that suicide is a sign of weakness because the person who commits it cannot cope with living, this I must say would seem reliable if I myself have been in the exact position of the person, considered taking my life, but moved on and made things better. I would also think some people see it as a strength, that they end every thing by death, that they are not afraid of death and that they will not see themselves suffer and get humiliated through out life, so with the pride they have left take their life. So in my opinion about suicide being a weak or strong act, it depends. In one situation it could be strong, while in another it is weak.
It again very much depends on how harsh, honour some, or extreme the situation is for people who take their lives, and we could never tell how harsh something is for a person as people are different, and what could be harsh for someone is not for another. People are different for a fact, and so they too experience things differently. From my opinion, suicide is acceptable, but you should never consider doing it. It is the very last of your options which are not at all limited, life has a huge variety of different options which will suit or not suit you and your character. The meaning of life could be for any individual, to experience as much as possible and living out good moment as well as moments of pain and agony (and I do mean moments), and suicide is like putting an end to it, to give up, but then these are my views and opinion, I do not force anyone not to follow them and do not blame them for being wrong for doing so, maybe foolish if the situation was clear that suicide was not one of the last options possible at all, at some point maybe even a strong act (again depending on the situation). In my eyes, every day brings something, even if it is something very small, into the life of any individual. Every sunrise something new might happen, that very something that could turn the tables and make a what seemed as lifetime of pain and agony, to something much better, by ending your life, the sun will never rise for you, nor will the infinite set of new options and possibilities of all times in your ended life never again. The only person fully in charge of your life, is you and if that is in your best interest, option and decision that your life is necessary to be terminated for what ever reason, it is up to you to do what you want with your life as long as you have thought of all the consequences from your doings, I say you have the right to do so but you should take into consideration how the world and situation might be with or without you, how you can make a difference, how many the infinity set of other options there are, and that the sun will never rise once you are gone.
