Suicide (selfish?)

[Diana]

My brother committed suicide. After many years, I miss him even more than when he first died. But I was never angry with him. I was only sad beyond measure. I honored his choice. He had his reasons and as Yera said, we can't know another's pain.

Even the most superficial, spoiled people have pain. I wouldn't attempt to judge that pain. That old saying: don't judge another until you've walked a mile in their moccasins, applies here.

If you feel committing suicide is selfish because of the pain it would cause, then isn't it also selfish that the focus becomes the pain of those left behind? So we would make a person stay here just because we don't want the pain of their loss?
