Comment on Seems awfully dangerous

  I struggle to see how it is suicidal. I define suicide as “trying to kill yourself.” I don’t see how accepting my mortality and not letting the fear of death get in the way of enjoying my life could be classified as suicidal.

    You (but probably me) enjoy the thought of having yourself killed. Moreover, you engage in behavior that increases chances of getting into an accident.

    I don’t know about you, maybe you have a different shit in your head, just take care

      I enjoy the thought of living a life worth dying for, but I suppose you could look at it as if I’m killing myself in order to live my life?

      Driving a car is also a behavior that increases the chances of getting into an accident, but I don’t think think you’d call everyone who drives a car suicidal. (Or maybe you would, which I think would be totally fair based on your previous point.)

      If I was speeding around without a helmet because I hated my life and wanted to die to get away from my responsibilities I think I’d be more likely to call that behavior “suicidal”.

    100% We are all mortal. The denial of death is a terrible trend, it makes people have no idea how to deal when a loved one dies.

  Get a new psychiatrist. There is a big difference between self destructive risk taking and the acknowledgment of the inherent mortality of our lives.
