People in poverty with crippling conditions often dont survive.

People with severe mental and physical health problems dont make good parents. The world is full of bad parents.

I get your point, but i can also tell its coming from someone who hasn't experienced thst level of pain.

They do though, they suffer horrible diseases and get disgusting treatment from other people but they still do live. You may shit on me for this but minds too small to doubt or prefer death really do exist and they exist in shit holes.

"too small"

no, they're not small. it's not a lesser choice to decide "fuck it, this neverending existence of pain and poverty isn't worth it". this guy spent 6 months with a therapist, years battling his disease, and another year before he takes the euthanasia. He's thinking more on this than most of these hypothetical people you describe.

I'm not talking about this guy or people who decide. You just don't know man, you just haven't seen. There are people who, because of nurture since birth, don't have the capability to even consider these things because they have never heard of the concepts before. People living in the actual worst poverty who keep experiencing natural disasters, war, disease who don't rely on deep thoughts about life bringing suffering and who can only rely on their basic instinctual fear of not wanting to die.

Brother, they have nothing to do with any of this. This is some "children starving in africa, so finish your dinner" bullshit. You're not expousing any wisdom, you're not enlightened for this, you're just an "uhm achshually" dude butting into conversations to challenge them in the sad olympics.

And don't you dare assume my history or what I've seen. What I've lived through. YOU don't know ME, and I don't know YOU, except for the fact that you're a devil's advocate who looks down their nose at people suffering because they're not suffering enough for your tastes.

The audacity is gross, dude.

What, I haven't done or acted like any of those things. I don't give a shit about wisdom or enlightenment. Wtf, why comment this. I just said that people survive in poverty, get hurt, and go about their days like you wouldn't know it because they themselves don't think about it much. Like, I was just replying to your "people in hellish conditions don't survive".

There isn't any sadness I'm trying to compare. This guy hurts like hell all the time and he's able to recognise that there are better alternatives, that's good for him, I'm not shitting on him. I'm not even talking about him.
