"fight", the idea that one needs to fight, in this case thoughts that would lead to suicide. Thoughts that are considered negative, because suicide is a negative thing that should be prevented at all times because life is beautiful. Not seeing this is then considered weak. Suicide considered giving up.
Some want to die in dignity. Some cannot take the pressure society puts on them.
There are many factors that affect the suicidal person.
Suicide is the end of great suffering.

If you read back on this thread we have discussed the negative connotations suicide has been slapped with. I think that is changing.
For me, I am sticking it out to the end. I want to learn everything I came here to learn and then shake the dust off my feet and go Home.
