It's sad that there is actually a genetic reason that some people wish to commit suicide and it's just now realized as a genetic tendency by the geneticists. I can't imagine feeling that way, though some people have environmental reasons to have that wish. <br />I'm a college grad plus, but never read any literature by Albert Camus, so bought a few of his books online. I have "the Myth of Sisyphus" and he's a winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. Well, last night I started reading and it's all about suicide and he's addressing it. I never read such a jumbled line of thought as his. I realize this is translated from French-and it must be missing something. He's not religious, and is trying to give reasons as to why suicide is not to be done. A suicidal person must have forgotten all the things you just said to contemplate it. Wasn't it said that G-d created the world and wants us to appreciate it? We're to take care of it. <br />I was watching History 2 and they did a study of Iceland. People live there longer-till 83 for an average. One man was 100 in the program and exercized every day, and swam every day; 10 times stronger than me. How wonderful! Those people want to live for as long as they can and have a good chance to do so, being blessed with excellent genes, too. Life is precious. It shouldn't be wasted at any point along the way. We are so blessed to have reached full term and were born.

He made it and who are we to determine to take that away from another? God weighs in on that, too, when a life is to be cut short through willful action(s) in any life lived under the sun, that go against the law He set over us all, that He gave to establish and bring order in His universe. the physical world teaches us much about this, but beyond that is the conscience, the spirit and will we are each born with. we were created in his image after all ;) <br />the world suffers horribly, in every corner of it, when any person/people refuse to recognize God's plan and purpose for us--each for our own selves, and certainly others, too.<br />what consequences have come about, that the world is groaning underneath the magnitude and weight of such rebellion against Him! God has the remedy for what was broken in eden. God loves to show mercy to us sinners and has no pleasure in the death of the wicked is what the prophet isaiah said from the mouth of God. abraham had his own faith, regarding his own shortfall and for his own life's provision, that was placed in the right Person, not himself, or any other, but in God. look at what that led to! God rewards faith in Him. there is only one true God--room for only one at the top--and the buck stops with Him, does it not?<br />good thing. humans always have a shortfall somewhere, but the LORD has no deficient in any thing whatsoever. He's got it right, right now---and when all is said and done, all will know He is right, still.<br /><br />this is how i view the world i wake up in every day, and my place in it, and the place that others have as well, placing myself in His good hands. asking for His mercy and grace all the while. this was not always my view. i had to come through my own crucibles to be shown what really matters and choose to trust God through it all. i love and am thankful to the Lord and still a work in progress. i love the bible, which alone has told me the whole truth.<br /><br />thanks for the thought provoking the articles, nadene.<br />people need to be challenged about what they really know and believe in the long run.<br />life is indeed, a gift. we don't know and live that way as we should, if we are not taking that deeper look in these things.<br />LSWAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15199199816739922450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1787272385367494897.post-5282870059352435022016-02-15T19:18:22.184-08:002016-02-15T19:18:22.184-08:00Fantastic! You went back even further than I did ...Fantastic! You went back even further than I did other than the 10 Commandments. Moses did have a lot to say about it. Between the 2 of us, I think the Supreme Court judges have all they need to comment about Abortion rulings. I think these rulings are very logical, too.
