Well, in some cultures suicide is not considered a bad thing.
Name two such cultures.
In fact, suicide is condemned mostly in religious countries.
Name two countries that aren't "religious".
Then again, religion is an evolutionary mechanism on and in itself and I guess no culture wants to have less members as much as a football team wants to compete with the full team.
If it's evolutionary how come the most ancient have a creation myth and a creator?
if they don't matter to you as a person then why on earth would you care staying alive for others in order to develop their gadgets? Now that's what I call selfish.
Yeah, good one, because they could have a family, and share their happiness and create and help others, that means @jaredcwillis is saying they don't matter as a person, spoken like a true Decepticon.
Japan, Aboriginal communities of the Northern Australia, Switzerland (they even have centers assisting it)..many others.
All countries have religions of some sort but non religious countries are Vietnam, Japan, Czech Republic, Sweden, Britain...many others.
Because we are all homo-sapiens, same species and due to the fact we can envision our own demise we have creates stories that center us in a creation story that make us escape death. Also. Who created the creator? That's your question as a religious person.
They don't have the same aspirations as you. Simple as that
