Just check out some of his interviews on Thomas Ligotti Online site.

After seeing the sheer number of medications he had laying around, the medics immediately assumed it was an overdose.

from "I Have a Special Plan for This World"

One needs to have a plan someone said who was turned away into the shadows
And who I had believed was sleeping or dead
Imagine he said all the flesh that is eaten
The teeth tearing into it
The tongue tasting it's savour
And the hunger for that taste
Now take away that flesh he said
Take away the teeth and the tongue
The taste and the hunger
Take away everything as it is
That was my plan
My own special plan for this world
I listened to these words and yet I did not wonder
If this creature whom I had thought sleeping or dead would ever approach his vision
Even in his deepest dreams
Or his most lasting death
Because I had heard of such plans such visions
And I knew they did not see far enough
But what was demanded in a way of a plan
Needed to go beyond tongue and teeth and hunger and flesh
Beyond the bones and the very dust of bones and the wind that would come to blow the dust away
And so I began to envision a darkness that was long before the dark of night
And a strangely shining light
That owed nothing to the light of day

>>7572432
As much as you faggots disagree with this anon, he is right. Whatever problem you have causing suicidality is temporary. Even if for some reason you cannot overcome nihilism, tfw no gf, or whatever modernity-induced problem you have, killing yourself is still not the answer. Nothing happens in a vacuum. Suicide will hurt people that are not you. It's a selfish act.

Read Phaedo. In the meantime, Hamlet. When he returns in act v he has overcome his fear of death and says the following (about death):

Not a whit, we defy augury: there's a special
providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be now,
'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be
now; if it be not now, yet it will come: the
readiness is all: since no man has aught of what he
leaves, what is't to leave betimes?

>>7575792
“So death, the most terrifying of ills, is nothing to us, since so long as we exist, death is not with us; but when death comes, then we do not exist. It does not then concern either the living or the dead, since for the former it is not, and the latter are no more.”

fuck this guy
the only valid argument against suicide is the fact that you expedite a gamble; that of which lies beyond the grave
>tfw reincarnated into an anal bead

the point is that you are given a solid world that works upon the laws of physics and where 2+2=4
by dying you take the chance of infinite roll
if your life is that shit that you dont care about the gamble, go ahead kiddo, but every quibble and every cancer of the mind is something you have power over
The way you perceive the world is always something you can change, just think back to when you were a kid and had innocent thoughts about the world, people can over come cynicism and nihilism, the latter moreso by the fact that its just a shitty infalsifiable doctrine like Solipsism (which no-one ever really believes in so why do the same for nihilism?)

The problem I have with this is that we cannot trust our selves. Self-deception and unconscious thinking influences our decision-making so much so that the concept of making a choice that is self-consistent seems impossible. It also doesn't help that some suicidals have identity issues and constant ego death so that self-concept seems impossible.
At the same time, we cannot trust others to make life decisions for us since each others minds and subjective experiences is completely opaque and inexpressable. Suicide is really an ambigious decision.

OP found the one truly serious philosophical problem.

H.P. Lovecraft

O’er the midnight moorlands crying,
Thro’ the cypress forests sighing,
In the night-wind madly flying,
Hellish forms with streaming hair;
In the barren branches creaking,
By the stagnant swamp-pools speaking,
Past the shore-cliffs ever shrieking;
Damn’d daemons of despair.

Once, I think I half remember,
Ere the grey skies of November
Quench’d my youth’s aspiring ember,
Liv’d there such a thing as bliss;
Skies that now are dark were beaming,
Gold and azure, splendid seeming
Till I learn’d it all was dreaming—
Deadly drowsiness of Dis.

But the stream of Time, swift flowing,
Brings the torment of half-knowing—
Dimly rushing, blindly going
Past the never-trodden lea;
And the voyager, repining,
Sees the wicked death-fires shining,
Hears the wicked petrel’s whining
As he helpless drifts to sea.

Evil wings in ether beating;
Vultures at the spirit eating;
Things unseen forever fleeting
Black against the leering sky.
Ghastly shades of bygone gladness,
Clawing fiends of future sadness,
Mingle in a cloud of madness
Ever on the soul to lie.

Thus the living, lone and sobbing,
In the throes of anguish throbbing,
With the loathsome Furies robbing
Night and noon of peace and rest.
But beyond the groans and grating
Of abhorrent Life, is waiting
Sweet Oblivion, culminating
All the years of fruitless quest.

His second best poem, without a doubt.

"The man who kills a man, kills a man.
The man who kills himself, kills all men; as far as he is concerned he wipes out the world. His act is worse (symbolically considered) than any rape or dynamite outrage. For it destroys all buildings: it insults all women. The thief is satisfied with diamonds; but the suicide is not: that is his crime. He cannot be bribed, even by the blazing stones of the Celestial City. The thief compliments the things he steals, if not the owner of them. But the suicide insults everything on earth by not stealing it. He defiles every flower by refusing to live for its sake. There is not a tiny creature in the cosmos at whom his death is not a sneer. When a man hangs himself on a tree, the leaves might fall off in anger and the birds fly away in fury: for each has received a personal affront."..."The man's crime is different from other crimes -- for it makes even crimes impossible."

--Chesterton

Th'Olympian host conceiv'd a clever plan.
A beast they wrought, in semi-human figure,
Filled it with vice, and called the thing a Nigger.

But it's rational to kill yourself due to chronic ill health, like treatment-resistant depression. Try harder.

People who form an opinion on or against suicide typically show they know very little of despair, people who really are suicidal or will commit it do not tell any one, life becomes unbearable for a variety of different reasons and each day living becomes death by being a coward for them, it litterally controls their every waking moment. They wake up in the middle of the night and it becomes first thing they think of it, it is not just a thought, its a constant attack on their conciousness and it owns their every waking moment, they take it to bed and to work with them, they keep it hidden around friends and family. Its a personal battle they keep to them selves and the only way out is to own it and commit to it, ONCE YOU ARE IN THIS DEEP, all of the pro life arguments have long past held no real weight and those of you on here making fun of them or criticizing them are nothing but crows cawking on a power line.

Your words and opinions are your own way of dealing with this thought as you apply the situation to yourself and in a self defense mechanism hold fast to these optimistic thoughts.

People who check out typically have battled private battles for so long with no relief that they do not even think of you, when you say dont do it or that one should not kill them self, they see it as the same thoughts they once had but no longer can believe in. Have fun thinking your empty words have any effect on those who off them selves, because it literally carries zero weight.

The only thing real in life is your body and what you choose to do with it, those who try to impose their will on others are unable to realize or FACE THIS REALITY and divert their attention to others as the cowards they are.

To quote the man himself:

>Aside from the obvious problem that attempts at voluntary death can go horribly wrong, there is the problem that it isn’t a solution for those who are in extremis and want only to end their suffering. Suicide doesn’t end their suffering; it merely ends their lives. A choice to die in a state short of terrible pain and suffering could allow us to leave ourselves behind if only we didn’t feel the pressure of others to remain with them. This is understandable, and although I would like to believe otherwise, I fear that an acceptance of a desired death prior to unbearable pain will not soon if ever occur. The world and its societies would need to radically morph for that to happen.

My goal in life is to become so postmodern that the person I consider myself is completely gone, but using his body will be a person who thinks and acts just like the he did.

not if you find the right one. they're just content.

which can scare ambitious people, but if your ambition is causing you to want to die, then it's not really helping you. you only get one life as far as i know.

I would never say suicide is wrong, but I'd have to agree completely with the sentiment that it's selfish. As much as people like to think their life is theirs and theirs alone, it's a truly fucked up thing to decide to come into a whole other range of persons' lives, impact them, love them, and develop relationships with them; only to decide one day you're going to take all that that you've built with those people and throw it all away because you aren't satisfied with the life you're living.

Think of how sick to your stomach you would all be if the person closest to you explained that they couldn't be that person for you anymore ever again and killed themselves. Some of you would certainly agree that it was that person's choice and you respect that decision, but it doesn't change the fact that the vast majority of people do not fall into that mode of thinking. Maybe you're objectively correct that suicide isn't inherently wrong, but that fact, true or not, doesn't negate the true, measurable, negative impact your death has on the people that you built relationships with.

Kill yourself if you must, but know it is an immensely selfish move that tears the people you love the most apart into pieces and takes away a literal part of their soul with you.

I for one was waiting for my mom(and possibly my father) to pass away before I killed myself, but my niece is about to turn six now and I'm afraid I've shared too many happy memories with her by this point.

By this point every time I call my sister and hear how excited my niece is to know I'm on the phone, I know I'm that much further from the release of death. Which can be considered unfortunate to a degree, but I like to think reason to live is better than reason to not.

u're going to die anyway. regardless of cause of death (suicide, sickness, etc.) everything will be "thrown away" at some point. also, it doesnt even matter how much emotional pain you put on those who love you because when you die you wont remember them and when they die they wont remember you. it will be as if none of you existed!

>it doesnt even matter how much emotional pain you put on those who love you because when you die you wont remember them and when they die they wont remember you. it will be as if none of you existed!

Your existence, short and meaningless as it may be, is the complete totality of what your atoms are ever likely to consciously know about themselves. The chances that they will ever come together as a thoughtful whole is beyond improbable. To say that a life doesn't matter once it stops existing, and then to equate that same life to never once mattering during its whole conscious existence is a bold statement. And one I do not think I can agree with.

Oh shit, thank you anon. I see bugs running around my bathroom floor all the fucking time, and I know for sure they aren't real. At least I'm not the only one hallucinating bugs

it is possible to be happy giving in because you haven't found it yet and don't have the energy to keep trying is shortsighted
