These stories always seem to attract the "but why would you want to kill yourself" comments. Some just cannot fathom a life that isn't enjoyable or worth living. People experience all types of suffering that doesn't get better and it's completely fine to "want out" in a dignified and safe way.
- ralph84 2y agoEven TFA has this sentiment: > I told Zoraya more than once that I understood her suffering, but hoped she wouldn’t go through with her decision to kill herself. Quite obviously the author didn’t understand or they wouldn’t have put the “but” clause there.
- tredre3 2y agoIt's possible to empathize with someone's pain but selfishly not want to lose the person. Emotions can be complex and contradictory. Unless the person you're quoting actively opposed Zoraya, I don't think it's a clear example of someone who can't fathom wanting to die.
