Reasons to Live
How important is life, what makes it worth living?
Thoughts : Every moment we make little life or death decisions. Smoking, drinking alcohol excessively, eating excessively, even storing anger or ignoring pain all lead to premature death yet almost everyone engages in at least one of two of these behaviors and many others (like being 'out of it' while driving).
I wonder if they have a test - "how much do you want to live?" (or conversely - how much do you want to die?) or "risk of death tolerence". I'm sure anyone with a little programming ability and creativity could make one.
I want to do research on what motavates people to live - people who felt like they wanted to die or had very little motavation and then turned completely 360 to the point where they can say they genuinely are appreciative of and alive in each moment; as well as from those smart enough to go "straight to the top" rather than dabble in what's it's like to be miserable, confused and/or addicted first.
Feel free to help me with this (in terms of pointing out websites and/or sharing your own opinions/experience).
I hope this thread stays open, I know suicide is a touchy subject but I don't think it's discussion is anything to be afraid of.
