Usually its mental illness or being in a terminal condition of sorts anyway and not wanting to suffer more before you go.
Depression is often linked with a kind of emotional numbness. Depression robs people of joy. Food tastes bland. Entertainment is boring. Music is just noise. Suicide is just another form of self-harm that sometimes comes from a misguided attempt to feel something, anything. It does not take courage to dispose of what one thinks has no value.
Been there. Done that. Nuf' said.
Wow, had no idea you went through this sort of thing. I'm sorry.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
