I need ideas to commit suicide

[Evi]

They considered it an honorable thing to disembowel and "eviscerate" themselves in front of the emperor. They didn\'t kill themselves because their life was sh^t and had severe depression.

You can\'t compare them. It\'s just...different.

Most of the time when they did harikari it was because they lost a battle or did a dishonerable thing and were filled with shame, it wasn\'t for honor. They cut their stomachs because thats where they thought theyre spirit was.


People who commit suicide are selfish.....things happen but if you do that, you aren\'t thinking about the people who care about you. Suicide would make life suck for so many people that love you and who knows, one of them might commit suicide.

Thats easily reversable----->.No.The others around you are selfish.They dont care seeing you suffer.They only care if they are going to feel bad for the loss.As long as you suffer and they are not you shouldnt die

hara-kiri was normally reserved for warriors

statesmen and other ranking officials performed seppuku

No, not really. It was dishonorable to "die by the hands of an enemy" in battle. Choosing self-sacrifice, instead of this, showed their honor, courage, loyalty, moral character," etc..

Honor for the samurai was dearer than life and in many cases, self destruction was regarded not simply as right, but as the only right course. Disgrace and defeat were atoned by committing hara-kiri or seppuku. Upon the death of a daimyo loyal followers might show their grief and affection for their master by it. Other reasons a samurai committed seppuku were: to show contempt for an enemy; to protest against injustice, as a means to get their lord to reconsider an unwise or unworthy action and as a means to save others.

Although suicide is deplored in Japan today, it does not have the sinful overtones that are common in the west. People still kill themselves for failed businesses, involvement in love triangles, or even failing school examinations, death is still considered by many as better than dishonor.

I have to agree with you there. I knew a kid that killed himself and the impact it had on my good friend was terrible. It was his half brother but still, he was a wreck. I\'m just really thankful I never had a really close fried kill him/herself. If I did, I would be a mess.

I think the only time it is justified to kill yourself is in war when you are about to be a) captured and don\'t want to endure the torture of being a POW or b) about to be captured because you have knowledge that will lead to the deaths of your own. But I\'d rather die shooting my way out :cool:

Sorry. I couldn\'t resist.

I would laugh but that\'s not funny.

Haha, what isn\'t funny about that?
