Suicide

[at_anchor]

If you are being chased by a pack of wolves or foxes to the edge of a cliff and they already wounded you pretty badly, so you are hungry, thirsty, tired and hurt in some kind of a depressing situation you have only two options. Option one is to let them eat you alive, which could be a long and painful process to die. Option two is to jump off a cliff, fall down and die. Which would you choose? Fighting them is useless. You won't be able to hurt them back in that state and without anything to become a match for their strength and power.

Sometimes in life people can be like those foxes and wolves.

In those circumstances I would try to fight. Who knows if help shows up at the last moment, or if I kill a wolf and the others get scared, or whatever. But if I'm old and have terminal cancer, and I've been feeling like it's the end for months, I'd kill myself. or at least I hope I have the courage to do it, and not pathetically continue receiving treatments and generating suffering around me without any hope of recovering

@Breakingthewall and what if you were on a cliff on a higher elevation and they surrounded you but couldn't get to you? How long would you wait before you lost all hope, energy and jumped off from starvation and bleeding wounds? 

And what if you were with someone there on that higher elevation that was actually pushing you to go fight the wolves and basically die? Let's say this was not someone you loved so much that you would sacrifice your life for them. 

And another example, what if you were on a sinking little boat and had around a year or two before going underwater with sharks. You have food and water of terrible quality onboard, and you also have an injection lets say that lets you die in peace. In this case there are no ships that will pass by to save you, so no hope of getting rescued. The boat is also closed off and you cannot enjoy looking at the sea.
