This will make more than a few people angry but it must be
said. Suicide isn’t something that happens to you; it’s a choice. It’s a
tragedy for everyone involved, but it isn’t like heart disease or breast cancer
or kidney failure. It’s something you choose, and it’s a selfish choice. It’s a
choice you can only make when you’re so focused on your own pain and sorrow
that you don’t see the pain and sorrow you’re about to inflict upon everyone
around you: your family and friends and even the pour soul unlucky enough to find
your body. It’s a permanent solution to a temporary problem, because while you
live, all problems are temporary. It’s a selfish choice to take the greatest
gift you’ve been given and throw it away. Life is a gift, and like all gifts it
is meant to bring us joy when we use it for the benefit of others.
