I understand.People say it's the "Coward's way out", there's nothing cowardly about going against every human instinct to survive. I wouldn't call it courage, and certainly not bravery, but it's something somewhat admirable.That's what makes it a tricky subject to comment upon.

I'm one of those people. and while it may not be strictly true in that actually taking your own life takes a certain level of willpower, I see is as the cowards way becuase said people would be better served using that willpower to face their problems and work through them. nothing, is EVER bad enough that taking ones own life is the best or even a viable course of action to take *. Sure it solves their problem, but it also creats more problems for everyone around them.

Take the old saying 'Where there's a will there's a way.' People who commit suicide obviously have willpower, they're just using it in the wrong manner.

* Note: Certain incurable and untreatable medical conditions aside, if death is more or less a certainty I see no reason to prolong any suffering. I don't count mental health issues because they can be overcome.
