when you make a choice

Is the act of committing suicide selfish?

Yea:  "No, it's a little selfish" is written by a man who struggles with depression and tried to take his own life

Nay:  "There's nothing selfish about suicide" is written by a woman who's father committed suicide.

I have not attempted to commit suicide -- unless you count not altering my lifestyle to live healthier.  I have not had anyone close to me commit suicide -- unless you count my mother's refusal to eat.  So, in all fairness, I only have what I think to draw on, not any real experience.  IMNSHO, FWIIW:   To make the choice that there is nothing ahead but darkness, and that your pain is greater than the pain that you will leave behind, IS a selfish act.  That doesn't mean you are a bad or cruel or heedless person, that doesn't mean you don't care about those you are leaving behind, that doesn't mean you are "wrong".  It means that what is happening to you and how it is making you feel trumps everything and anything else -- and isn't that the definition of selfishness?
