To those here who think willpower can solve all your problems:
Supposing someone stuck a red-hot poker up your behinds. You don't have to scream. I'm quite certain there are people out there who have enough willpower not to scream in such a situation.
Do you 
?
I'd have hit him upside the head way before he had a chance to do that. 
Usually it's not 'him' but 'them'
Just to follow up on my previous point - some here say that commiting/not commiting suicide is a moral choice. But every second of one's life is a moral choice. And I really don't mean to dis anyone's work here but modding Freespace 2 instead of doing community work, for example, is an (im)moral choice as well. So why do so many of us keep choosing the easy way out (which actually isn't a way out at all)? Can't we take the more difficult, but better choice? Can't we take it anymore? Have we succumbed to pain? Have we succumbed to pleasure? It's only a question of willpower, after all...
We're being tested all the time. Have we passed each test? If not, then what have we done about the part of us that brought about our failure? Has calling ourselves 'pussies' helped (pussies according to whose standard)? Has calling ourselves 'bad mofos' helped (bad mofos according to whose standard)? Has justifying ourselves helped? Maybe someone can answer 'yes' to at least one of these questions. The original matter of this thread is a little dated, I admit, but maybe the answer can still prove helpful
?
