I think on this every time I hear of someone dying by their own hand, or by an overdose, or anything that seems preventable: “The suffering may be moral or physical; and in my opinion it is just as absurd to call a man a coward who destroys himself, as to call a man a coward who dies of a malignant fever...Would you require a wretched being, whose life is slowly wasting under a lingering disease, to dispatch himself at once by the stroke of a dagger? Does not the very disorder which consumes his strength deprive him of the courage to effect his deliverance?...Woe to him who could look on and say: The fool! If she had waited, if she had let time do its work, her despair would surely have subsided, another man would have turned up to comfort her.— Thats just like saying: The fool, dying of fever! If she had waited until his strength returned, his circulation improved, the tumult of his blood calmed down, everything would have turned out well and he would still be alive today!” ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, The Sorrows of Young Werther I consider Robin Williams death a tragedy, perhaps preventable, but the last thing we should do in these moments is say, if only they....
