People always assume that I might think that the actions of those commiting suicide are selfish. Far from it. You know, while this has never been my issue, I have had people close to me try to commit suicide and I have had some related and not related that were close that did kill themselves. I think that in the moment they can see no other way to end the pain. I dont think that it is a decision to hurt those left behind as much as it is that they cannot see any other way to stop feeling so bad or hurting others. My heart simply bleeds for those that loved him. This was not their fault. In the military world especially, suicide is almost seen as the cowards way out. Perhaps, people should reserve judgment. Robin Williams fit the demographic of the fastest growing age of suicides. Men over 50. The book, Lonely at the Top is spot on about men.
