Agree. Imposing our ideas of 'obligation to society' and 'have to fight to live' etc..., other subjective opinions that they may or don't feel seems really wrong. It strikes me as selfish.
Particularly when suicide makes all the problems go away, as terrible as it is to say. For many, life is not that great. I think it's fair to let them know that there's the possibility for things to turn around. But if they say "Nah, I'll just leave now." that's their choice, and imposing my opinions based on my values seems like I'm trying to be their God.
