That's an amazingly horrible analogy.
Oh no, I meant it's a horrible analogy in all respects. I think convincing people to stay around by guilt tripping them, especially through a comparison to terrorism, is horrible.
I think people knowing what the effect of their decisions will be on those that love them is absolutely essential. That you tuinknots a guilt trip means you aren’t understanding the point.
It’s not guilt. It’s instilling the understanding that what you are going to do will have consequences on people that love you long after you are gone.
Suicide is selfish. Period.
That is literally guilt tripping. What do you think that means?
thanks for using Leebra!

Red Reddington from the show The Blacklist has an amazing take that resonates with me. He said:
Have you ever seen the aftermath of a suicide bombing?
I have. June 29th, 2003. I was meeting two associates at the Marouche restaurant in Tel Aviv. As my car was pulling up, a 20-year-old Palestinian named Ghazi Safar entered the restaurant and detonated a vest wired with C-4
The shock wave knocked me flat, blew out my eardrums. I couldn't hear. The smoke... It was like being under water. I went inside. A nightmare. Blood, parts of people. You could tell where Safar was standing when the vest blew. It was like a perfect circle of death. There was almost nothing left of the people closest to him. Seventeen dead, 46 injured. Blown to pieces. The closer they were to the bomber, the more horrific the effect
That's every suicide. Every single one. An act of terror perpetrated against everyone who's ever known you. Everyone who's ever loved you. The people closest to you, the ones who cherish you are the ones who suffer the most pain, the most damage. Why would you do that? Why would you do that to people who love you?
