I just wanted to say that I don't think suicide is "selfish". It's a very sad thing, and I always wish that when I hear of those tragedies I could have spoke to them first and maybe even showed them that someone does care. Having been in that dark place before, I can relate somewhat to what they're going through.
The thing is, I would say that many people who commit suicide do so with the feeling that no one cares about them. If you don't think anyone cares about you, then you don't think you're hurting anyone by ending it.
Still, death is a scary thing to me. No one really knows what happens. We can have our own beliefs but we can't know for sure. You want to end the pain, but what is left beyond this life is so unknown. We should all try to live to live. You never know what life will bring us, which is why we should try to find things that make us happy and live our lives gaining experiences along the way.
I never want anyone to do something so final, especially when it isn't their time to. But at the same time I can't blame them because I don't know what they're feeling or what is going on in their lives. Plus, it isn't only an emotional pain people are going through either, which is why I just don't think it is right to judge people on that decision.
