Is considering suicide a sign of mental illness or just a weak mind?
I feel like I am only alive is just because I don't want to hurt my parents. Why is it just wrong to escape?
Is "The myth of sisyphus" worth reading? As a foreigner it's difficult but actually fun to read, but only came as far as ~20 pages, or so.
Why all this questions? I will probably be kicked out of college. And it wouldn't hurt as much knowing I am a retard. The catch is that I worked in the field I study for few years and have somewhat of a success. The academics are kind of a mix of easiness and difficulty. I enjoy it but the tight deadlines and 5 exams in 2 weeks are just mind numbing.
Probably it doesn't make sense to you, but this mood swings are incredible. I started out this post with bitterness and ending it by cringing at my thoughts and disgust.
Maybe it's the tiredness.
I'm not sure there is such a thing as a weak mind.
Considering suicide is definitely a sign of mental illness. As are mood swings.
You should see a psychiatrist.
False dilemma.
1.) For a trade-off
2.) For lack of desire to keep on going
3.) Existential boredom
4.) To test religious concepts
5.) For a belief in religious duty
6.) Existential experimentation
7.) To escape a problem
8.) To escape a problem that cannot be fixed
9.) To escape a problem that can only get worse
10.) To escape a meaningless existance
11.) To escape a simple or momentary problem [weak]
12.) Due to emotional problems (not always chemical imbalances/mental illess)
13.) Random act
14.) Due to drugs
15.) To sacrifice oneself for others
16.) etc...
So check your presumptions at the door before you start thrown down fallacies like the false delamma falllacy.
