Some people are way too judgemental.
I can't say that I appreciated this man's humor, but it's a dead human being, and that sucks. Suicide is not always a rational act, committed by a rational human being. Depression is NOT rational. That's why it's listed as a disorder. Sometimes, there is just no understanding to be had.
It's a bit dick-ish to say that someone can't feel sorry for someone who takes their own life. Outwardly, it seems like a cowardly, selfish act. But with a little bit of analysis, it sometimes is just the result of a malfunctioning brain. You don't have to shed tears, but at least a little basic compassion is in order. But wait... I seem to have forgotten... The inability to show empathy/sympathy is also a disorder.
Wow. What a f**ktard.
I had a relative who killed himself. He wasn't selfish at all. He was batshit crazy, pure and simple.
With such a well thought out dispensation of logic, (and a smattering of righteous indignation) I can't see very many people being worthy of whatever it is that you call respect.
So who diagnoses the depressive personality? How/when does one know the difference between depression and a horrible personality? Furthermore, what if the depressive is already being treated, and suffers a mental lapse, medicinal side effect, or some other mitigating factor in the otherwise acknowledged illness?
Jesus H Christ... Some people are so out of touch with reality, that it's not even funny.
Perhaps we should just round up all of the mentally ill, and cull them, so that we don't have to think too hard about any of this?
