I guess it comes down to this........
If I know I will cause bad effects by doing something, and under
normal circumstances I don't do it, but when Im under abnormal
circumstances when I experience hurt/ grief/ etc, so much so that I
am overcome, or overfilled, with these emotions which override my
knowledge of the bad effects..........IS comitting this act a sin
then?
Coz suicide people should more or less fall into this description,
right?
Isn't it more like an ironic/ pitiful/ victim kinda thing
instead?
Why should they be described as comitting a sin? And why should
they be punished?
Despite the fact of the negative effects. Coz the emotions override
their knowledge of negative effects, you see.
And these emotions are not greed, or hatred, or lust, or any other
'evil' emotions befitting to be sin, but in fact quite the opposite
'pitiful' types like sadness, hurt, etc.
In my mind, the overriding pitiful emotions should make them
innocent.
Not to say I agree with suicide lah.....just a discussion.....I
believe it's not a sin.....
