I don’t think suicide is the way out, but it’s pretty narrow minded to paint every person that’s ever attempted or committed suicide with the same brush.
Depression and other mental anxieties are no joking matter. We should feel pity or sympathy for those that felt that suicide was there only option, not disgust or hate.
I had a good friend commit suicide. Never have figured out why. He was a good man with a good wife. Son was a police officer. He taught at a college through the week and Sunday school on the weekend. Wife worked for a daycare taking care of children. He didn’t drink, smoke or do drugs. He was always kind and generous and a pleasant person to be around.
I have no clue why he killed himself. I don’t know what he felt or was thinking. Sadly, he felt that was his best option.
I question myself and why I didn’t see that there was a problem. I feel sadness for his wife and son. However, I have never once felt anger towards him, or thought of him any less than a good man.
Anybody foolish enough to cast hateful rhetoric and opinion on somebody that has struggled and lost their fight with depression, should really spend some time thinking about others instead of their false sense of machismo and righteousness.
