Those that died are justified

I've just been listening to Rage against the machine's tune Killing in the name of.

The title comes from the tune. It makes me think "those" are people who kill themselves.

They are justified in what they do. A conscious, sentient being driven to the point where they want to die is indicative that something is wrong and that conscious being is right in their decision to die. 6000 a year in the UK is a fucking alarm bell at full volume going, "what the fuck is wrong with you?!" I don't even know the statistic for how many attempts a year there are and my imagination can't create a suitable metaphor to communicate the severity, urgency, onus and all manner of other descriptors to describe what should be clear to anyone.

Those that kill themselves are driven to it. They shouldn't be but they are. This shouldn't happen to any conscious being. It is wrong.

I wish I was an albatross flying far, far away from the humans below.

A little on We

Back when "we" was the text of what I imagined the most ethical website it had one interpretation I'm thinking of now: unity. There are other interpretations but I'm thinking of now.

This is the future. Obviously. If humanity is to succeed through and after when lots of important resources are depleted. Unlike other supply crises this could be catastrophic.

Anyway, the other reason I'm thinking about we and unity is the unifying principle that most if not all human beings would want to work towards the nebulous concept "the greater good", creating the future or other quasi-altrustic, meaningful goal like the guarantee of basic and higher rights.

But the human capability for evil makes the basic tenet invalid and all which stems from the principle. The solution to the problem would be making people adhere to the principle or something else. An uber-religion or something beyond which unites humanity becauses it is something which will happen anyway. Or not.

My strongest belief for the legalisation of assisted suicide from unhappy people

No one should be forced to die alone, in secret, because of someone else's poor definition of morality.

I'm fed up. I've had enough.

Life is shit. I want to die.

The power of god

I may or may not have it. If I did, the point where I would abuse it is in vengance. Retribution is always ugly.

The campaign to drug psychiatrists and mental health workers

Simply, those working with the mentally ill need to feel what it is like to take the awful drugs that are prescribed by evil psychiatrists.

(It would be better if those with lived experience were aided to become part of a new wave of professionals who understand mental illness from book-learning and from living with it.)

No one can understand the dehabilitating effect of the drugs from a psychiatric research paper or textbook. But this is the current paradigm which fails patients, particularly those forced to take antipsychotics.

This needs to stop and the best way would be employing people with lived experience. In the absence of this great leap we should force the drugs on the prescribers as they force them on the patients they purport to treat.
