I have no bed currently. Will this lead to suicide?

Suicide is most definitely natural, although it's possible intended suicide isn't. I mean, animals run off cliffs...
It's not genetically passed down, but it helps 'refine' the gene pool by removing genes that cause horrible lives. (if such a thing as these exist, they would be removed through suicide, in theory.)
I have to make sure not just you actually reads this, so pay attention people.
My standpoint on suicide? I live a goal-based life. My current goal is to become a professional gamer. There is no other point to my life.
If I was to somehow lose this goal, and go a couple months without being able to find a new one, I would kill myself. It's simply a resolution I've made, because I see no reason to life a life without reason.
Real Talk :fluttershy:
And hopefully now I won't have to explain that to too many people in this thread.
EDIT: Is the above a form of a life philosophy?

Seems selfish Dakota.

It's a little selfish, but I don't have a lot to go off of when making such decisions, so I kind of just have to choose the option that seems to work best in theory.
ALSO, if I knew someone who living a life without a goal was worth living for I ofc wouldn't do this, but then I would probably be able to find a different goal.

My goal is to live to 50. I will die if I don't accomplish this goal.

It is serious.
There's a difference between a human being committing suicide and the walruses accidentally killing themselves
My goals are to get a decent job, live comfortably, and lose 20-30 lbs at the moment. Don't think I'll be killing myself anytime soon

Serious. If I fail my goal, I'll have died.1. This is great.
2. Is this serious?

Your guys' goals seem like me making a goal to take 1 stock in a game of SSBB.

I feel like this isn't a goal, but something more general.
I just can't think of a word for it.

professional gamer? hahaha good ****ing luck.
I dunno what professional gaming is like in North America but I heard that people actually make a living by playing video games in South Korea.
So yeah... today I was told I should be a fashion and commercial announcer. Weird o.o

May you become famous in the good way and not the bad way.

The bad famous would be 'infamous'.

Reading all this suicide stoof might make new people wanna stray away, js... .___.
In everything tho, suicide is so...final. If you think of suicide, most likely that there are only good things in life right? It can't get any worse? Why end it then if you know anything can get better?
You can't just base your life off the chance if you become a pro gamer too. Most likely it won't happen, but that shouldn't end your life mate O_O MY bro has Aspergers Syndrome too...and he's tried to kill himself twice in the last two weeks. He plays here with me in BC.

You think making a a goal to enjoy taking 1 stock off someone in a game of ssbb is too general?

Professional gaming is all too real in North America or anywhere in the world. Only in the correct ways, and only with certain games. Their needs to be a business side to your escapades with it. You wont make a living just with playing and winning.

I plan to most likely have a job while I'm a pro gamer. For my goal pro just means be the best in a game where you can make money off of it.
But I would probably do other things (tutoring, shoutcasting, streaming, ALL THE THINGS!)

See, this goal makes sense. Being famous is something you achieve, not something that is given to you. (THATS THE DIFFERENCE!)
Why you gotta be mean?
You seem to view death as like, sitting forever in a void, doing nothing.
I'm not basing my life off of a chance, as far as I can see. I'm saying 'I want to do this' and then trying to do it.
NOTE: This is my complete thought process on how I come up with it, for anyone interested//wondering.
[COLLAPSE="Thought Process"]
None of us knows what death is, and as such we should assume it's the median for all purposes regarding it (if we need to assume something).
So we can either say 1. I have no idea, and base our decision off of this (but how do you do that?)
or 2. Go with the median, which given infinite possibilities must have an equal amount of happiness and sadness(and everything else), and this is only if it doesn't allow your interactions to change it.(I'm talking about a state of existence, this includes space//time//reality//# of dimensions, etc.) If it does(and it should), you can make a pretty easy analogy to it just being another life, which would give me another goal and therefore make my life better, assuming I had none upon leaving this one.
So that's...part of my thought process.
I started the decision by understanding that if I was ever to become a paraplegic, I would want myself killed. It would remove my ability to enjoy life too much, and therefore I wouldn't want to live, I think. I can extend this to say loss of my arms would also likely have such repercussions, although loss of my legs wouldn't.
But, given how I think, it makes no sense to stop there. Technically, I should stop when I have a reasonable chance that my choice is going to make me less happy (66-75%, to account for personal influence on this life). To do this, I have to first decide on what would make me ultimately happy in this life, hence the point of a goal. However, once I decide on this, I essentially begin to devote my life to it (it IS ultimate happiness, I'm pretty sure). Because there's no reason to devote my life to anything else, because it's lesser than my goal.
However, this means I, for the time being, give up large amounts of possibility of achieving TONS of other goals (e.g. - I can run extremely well given like, small amounts of fitness. I don't doubt I could be an extremely good runner if I trained myself.) So at some point, there's going to be very little possiblity for me to do much else with my life, and if I should fail, I would be essentially broken. (This here is all theory, and is subject to change based on actual experiences if I ever should experience this) I would live a life wondering what it would be like, wanting it but being unable to achieve it. And that's not something I would want to do. [/end theory]
Now, back to the idea of needing a definitive line for when I would kill myself. Now, I know being a husk of a person, unable to do what I really wanted while I watched as others achieved it, would be part of this line.
However, I also know that it's possible to move on from such things, and that if I should do so me killing myself would be dumb, as I would have a new goal.
Narrowing it down, I come to understand that life without a goal would be torture to me. It would be like having to take only french in school (all day every day), knowing that I was never going to use it to the extent I was learning it in my life, and that my time would be much better spent doing a plethora of other things. However, it would be like this with Life itself.
The only feeling I have ever experienced that I can relate to this is when a competitive game starts to lose it's seriousness (bad wifi lag, super dumb teammates that I expect to be serious.) Essentially, I lose all will to continue playing and become really quite sad. In theory, without a goal over a long period of time this would be all I would feel, that or I would go insane looking for one.
Neither of those possibilities are lives I want to live, and anything better then that is simply a life with happiness, so that's where I cut it off.
[/COLLAPSE]
I've explained it as best I can. If you need any clarification on anything, feel free to ask.
Also, I don't think my aspergers would cause me to commit suicide. It would simply cause me to understand that it's the best option for me as a person. If you want to tell me, I would love to know why your brother tries to kill himself and how that's connected with his (unless it isn't).
:fluttershy:
EDIT: I am never sure if you guys are making jokes or not, and that kills me.
