Yes, you do make a great point there, and that actually helps to illustrate the whole thing further.
By lumping "normal/happy" people together, one can demonstrate exactly what they do, by lumping suicide in together with other forms of murder/homicide/killing (which often have selfish motives).
But, you're right of course. If I did that, I'm doing no better than they are. There are many families that are truly torn apart by it (whether normal people or not) and at those moments people would probably say it was selfish, but they mean it in a way that shows they really miss that person. I kind of get that.
I think if I were to be a bit more specific, I mean those people who stand and judge from a distance always, you know the type. Those who always huddle in little groups, gossiping about everyone and everything, passing judgements like they pass gas.
