Or maybe your brother was guilted into suffering because you injected a greater fear into his life and your faith is fiction. Maybe your faith isn’t fiction but suicide is ok and Jesus tells him it was completely unnecessary to oppose his own reasoning at the pearly gates (or whatever your faith is).
There is no clear answer that extending life is for the best. Not unlike a painful, fruitless intubation that has no chance of providing quality life-hours.
Not saying this is true of your brother but a lot of people are content to say “good job team, he will suffer tremendously, but he is alive!” And that’s fucked up.
I don’t know why you’re bringing up Jesus, I’m not a Christian, and I don’t have faith in Jesus or any religion.
But are you saying since my brother was suffering he should’ve died by suicide?
I’m saying the fact that your brother did not commit suicide doesn’t mean life got better.
Perhaps it did. I hope it did. Likely a large portion of people who get past suicide and don’t later commit suicide do feel it got better.
But for a lot of people it doesn’t get better and telling them to keep living is just a cruel self serving choice
