There are way to many factors to take into account with suicide to make the generalization that someone is a “coward” or “selfish” for taking their own life. Yes, there may be some people who do it our of selfishness or are too scared to face something in their life, but you can not push this idea on to every single person that commits suicide. These people could have an altered mental state from a mental disorder such a bipolar disorder, schizophrenia or even drug abuse that could lead to suicide. Religion and faith could even have an effect on whether or not someone decides to commit suicide (Sati practice). I mean for fucks sake there has even been studies linking cigarette smoking to an increased risk of commiting suicide. All in all, there are just way to many factors to make such a broad statement.
I do agree with that to an extent, I was going to write in response to 99FRC that I agree with his statement when it comes to things like Hereditary depression and things of that nature.
