No life after death

[Paul the Human]

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem in most cases, and that is what I don't understand. There are instances where death is a more dignified end, but taking your life because you are depressed? Once you die, you are gone forever, girls will come and go, problems will come and go, unless you are faced with a lifelong problem, suicide seems a bit like overkill

I completely agree with this. However, you have to be able to see things from the perspective of the one that has chosen suicide in order to understand where it comes from. Those temporary problems may not feel temporary and/or make life simply too painful to bear (in that person's mind).

I'm not saying that the person committing suicide is correct by any means, but they definitely feel as if they are. Emotions are the strongest force imaginable when it comes to directing human actions/reactions. Some will even let those emotions create a make believe scenario where an all powerful creator being awaits them with a loving embrace...
