I’m not disagreeing with the entirety of your sentiment but there’s a not-insignificant portion of people that commit suicide because they are in daily pain and anguish. Wouldn’t it be just as selfish to force this person to continue living simply so that those people don’t have to deal with the fact that they failed their loved one?
Sure… get help and all but why didn’t they help, then?
I agree so hard. I have had a friend commit suicide.
I really miss her but at the same time I would never dream of pointing the finger and saying ‘How dare you! How selfish! What about me?’
It’s narcissistic and evil to make someone else’s suffering about yourself. She had been through things I was very lucky to never experience. I can’t imagine being so me-me-me as to make her death about myself.
Honestly, not everyone has the means or is mentally healthy enough (because they’re being abused and psychological deformation is a symptom of abuse) to get help when their problems are so all-consuming. When health insurance is tied to employment above the $20/hour subsistence level that most people are stuck at in this economy, TONS of otherwise normal and healthy people are at risk of slipping through the cracks of despair.
