Does the fact Fury tried to commit suicide indicate mental weakness?

[bossm523]

Would you consider him weak if he had cancer or diabetes?

[4truth]

No but failing at something so simple does.

Would you consider him weak if he had cancer or diabetes?

Would you consider him weak if he had cancer or diabetes?

It would be a weakness yes. But Fury's weakness is in his head.

I thought it was just because he was addicted. I don’t think he was mentally weak just too damn high and drunk.

Meet too I didn't think he was mentally ill just thought he had a problem with narcotics and alcohol

[bossm523]

Most addicts are self-medicating for mental illness

[Bandman]

suicidal topics is still taboo in society but it's very prevalent. Fury just came out publicly with it

Abhorrence does not equate to abstinence, and, in his case abhorrence is used as the ultimate form of smarty-pantsism.

In plain words, men who truly believe they know nothing don't teach. Teacher is a position of knowledge. Socrates was a smartass and a hypocrite.

What Socrates meant was that realising how little you know is the first step on the road to knowledge and wisdom. The solution to what modern psychologists call the Dunning-Krueger Effect. If you haven't heard of that, look it up.

Thinking about it, the death of Socrates is an outstanding example of how suicide can be evidence of the highest mental and moral strength, rather than weakness.

You call him a hypocrite, so you obviously don't know that the reason Socrates chose to end his own life by drinking hemlock was to avoid having his philosophical/political legacy tainted by accusations of hypocrisy.

Socrates was one of the founding fathers of Athenian democracy, and a strong advocate of civic obedience to the law, the belief that any citizen who had the right to vote had a moral duty to follow the laws of the elected government.

As a result of political/philosophical divisions in Athens, he was put on trial and found guilty of impiety - refusing to acknowledge the gods of the city - and sentenced to death by poisoning.

The people who passed that sentence never expected it to be carried out. They expected him to either renounce his impious ideas and ask for pardon, or leave Athens and live out his life in exile. But to Socrates, his philosophical and political ideas were more important than his life, and he decided to demonstrate that by refusing to renounce anything, staying put, and accepting the lawful verdict of the court, which he carried out himself.

Crazy? By our standards, yes.

Hypocritical? No way!

Fury's mentality in the ring is almost unfathomable.

He's mentally untouchable in that square circle.
