SUICIDE

Why do we assume that those that take their lives are selfish?

What is it that makes it selfish?

Is it the death?

Or perhaps it is what they leave behind.

Or is the cost of the burial?

What if the burial was paid for, would you still care?

What if that individual had nothing to leave behind, no family no friends, no children, no job?

What if instead of dealing with the pain they could transfer it to you, would you be able to do that, or would that be selfish?

What if they tried everything the therapist recommended, heck even joined a few religions, and still they could not get past what they’re going through, would that be selfish?

 

Instead of being angry and stuck in mock horror, take time to get into their frame of mind, at their environment prior to death.
