[Serious] Suicide is the greatest act of self-determination available to us

From the moment we're born to the moment in which we die, we're tormented into slaving away just to maintain our own bodies and to avoid the suffering associated with failure to do so. In this way we're forced into accepting a set of objectives, and tortured into compliance to them. It's a game which none of us asked to play, and we probably wouldn't continue to do so if we weren't being held hostage by our own biology.

Some might say that suicide is cowardly, or that it's giving up. But really what is the end goal of life if not death? After all, our deaths are the only things which we're intrinsically entitled to just by virtue of existing. It seems to me that completing suicide would be a victory over your instincts which desperately try to keep you alive and suffering. The only way to defeat an unwinnable game is by choosing not to play it, and in doing so you triumph over an even greater struggle than existence itself. It's more difficult to self-terminate than it is to continue slaving away for access to whatever relief you can find.

There is nothing noble about enduring suffering just for the sake of doing so. Humans have an addiction to romanticizing pain, to creating heroes out of those bear their torment for as long as possible. They fight against the world to survive and procreate, but is it really a battle if they're acting in way which facilitates total submission to their torturer? Moreover, the struggle to survive is ultimately unwinnable. As a result it's pointless and void of any value, save that of whatever copes people construct for themselves to make their lifelong servitude more bearable. People go through their lives experiencing entirely avoidable pain, then go on to tell themselves that it's somehow okay because they're all suffering together, and that their sacrifice is worthy of reverence. Yet there is nobody whom this sacrifice actually benefits.

I believe that instead of glorifying our slavery, we as humans should congratulate those who managed to liberate themselves from their painful flesh shackles.
