I can't believe I'm haunted by Asano Taeko even when I'm not watching her.

Seven eps into IS and I almost don't want to watch anymore, because it's becoming increasingly clear that my OTP isn't the OTP and WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME.

Its not right to judge someone for committing successfully or otherwise suicide. you dont know their lives. how do you know in their situation you wouldnt do the same? I used to think like you too when I was young because I understood nothing about life and because i hadnt yet experienced depression and mental illness. Its easy to look at people who find life unbearable and say they are weak when they try to die but thats only something a person from a privileged position can say. someone who's never felt like dying. and there are people with serious mental illnesses that are untreated or the pills dont help or even make it worse. are those people also "the worst" for trying to die? or dying? I believe people with mental illness deserve compassion and respect and it doesnt look like you have it.
also livejournal cut off part of my ccomment when i said there are people like miwa in real life who are like her, i meant that if you knew someone like that suffering in the real world would you hate them too? but you answered that already in your above comment. you would. and that makes me sad.

Again, that's not what I'm trying to say. I don't think a person is bad, is a lesser being for attempting suicide, successful or not. I said they're assholes (pardon my french), as in, people I don't like because they have certain character traits I don't agree with. Kinda like people who drive so close behind me I can't see their bumper anymore. It doesn't mean the person and all he does is condemnable, it just means that they do stuff I really can't stand.
In my opinion, suicide is egoistic. Whatever kind of problems a person has and whatever kind of pain they go through, I think that by killing themselves they inflict far more pain on others. I don't endorse that kind of behaviour.

This... look, I enjoy discussions, I honestly do. Yes, including this one; I might not agree with you, but your point is definitely interesting and it makes me think and clear my own view on the matter. But there are rules when it comes to arguing. "You have no idea what you're talking about" is not a valid argument, and implying I only think like I do because I understand nothing about life is an insult. I don't appreciate it.

i meant that if you knew someone like that suffering in the real world would you hate them too?
Hate is a big word. I don't hate Miwa, I just said I don't like her. How do you read that as "bclar hates everyone who suffers"? If someone has problems and I'm in a position to help, be it by action or just by giving advice, I do it. If I feel like the person doesn't give a damn about my efforts, making me feel like whatever I do won't change anything, I might (mind you, might - it still depends heavily on the case) leave them alone. I'm no saint, my patience is limited.
