That seems to be oversimplifying things, no?
Suicide is definitely a personal thing. I believe there are justifiable situations. I am a firm believer that, yes, most things in life are temporary, no matter how painful, sad, unpleasant... all things must pass. But for some unfortunate people, there is a point when they have to ask, "how much is enough?"
I tried to kill myself when I was 14; I was just unhappy with my life. Nothing ever made me happy, and my life seemed to be an endless cycle of disappointments, regrets, and sorrow. Obviously, I was unsuccessful.
Four years later, my life is still an endless cycle of disappointments, regrets, and sorrow. But I still hold on to hope. I still have so many years ahead of me for things to get better. I do find myself thinking about it on occasion, though. Life just seems too overwhelming sometimes, and it seems like nothing will ever be good enough to compensate for the misery I've endured. I'm completely disillusioned with life, and I don't see much of a reason to go on, but I do. Because of hope.
I guess I'm trying to say that, in the absence of hope-- when you really feel like things cannot get better-- suicide is justifiable. I don't have any religious oppositions to it, so I believe it is a personal decision.
