Have you read Aesop's fables, the gardener and the dog who fell in the well.
The gardener tried as he might to rescue the dog was rewarded with bites.
Finally the gardener replied "who am I to stop so determined a suicide".

Some people, the moral of the story is, are bound and determined by their hostility and
obstinacy to drive all healthy and sane people from their lives and will self-destruct if
they do not choose to mend their ways.
