I have mixed feelings about suicide. On the one hand it's incredibly sad to see someone be so lost in himself that he thinks ending it all is the only solution, but on the other hand it is the most selfish of actions. The pain he puts his loved ones through is horrible. Tragic

I would think taking a bunch of other people out and then killing yourself is way more selfish.

God gave us a precious life in his image. Things may seem grim but with his help and the people that love you, these problems will pass. If you lose everything but keep faith and love you will recover.
