The Japanese, in times gone by, found it honorable to kill themselves as opposed to suffering disgrace. When the US invaded Vietnam, thousands of frightened villagers jumped off cliffs to their deaths. Look at all the suicide bombers who think they'll be glorified in the afterlife for what they do. Personally I think suicide is selfish but I can say this much, sometimes things can seem so bleak that death is almost acceptable and if it weren't for cowardice I might actually have done it myself but I hung in there through all that fucked up teen shit. Then I thought about other peoples' lives, like the children in Africa, and adults for that matter, who eat one grain of rice a day, live in harsh poverty and suffer horrific things daily but don't kill themselves. I felt like a first rate pussy! Pitiful old me had a bad week or a bad month and I couldn't maintain? Please! Peace.
