This is incredibly sad. I hope he is in a better place and not hurting anymore. I know a lot of people say it's selfish for people to kill themselves, and I've never experienced losing someone by their own hand. I certainly don't want to be seen to be cold or uncaring or insensitive but this guy was clearly suffering and in a lot of pain emotionally and mentally. It takes a lot of courage I think to actually do the final act. It would be a very very dark place that someone would be in to do that in the majority of cases. I'm not sure that anyone could actually understand how dark that place is/was to understand or comprehend why someone would end their life.
Unfortunately some people can't get past that pain. It's incredibly saddening and heartbreaking - for the person themselves and their family and friends. Some people are lucky 'happy people' and others, just aren't as lucky in that area and have to work really hard at achieving that 'natural state'. I'm sad that this man died. I didn't know him, hadn't heard of him at all. But his pain, and not being able to overcome it is incredibly devastating.
Whatever you think is unfair in your life, or that you are being hard done by or why doesn't 'this' or 'that' ever happen to you?..... just think about what you do have. Feel lucky that you are lucky enough to be here on this planet, with all its human flaws and human achievements. Lucky enough that you have enough strength inside you to get up and walk out into the world when so many find that simple act of getting out of bed so difficult and debilitating.
I'm sad this man died. I'm happy that he has found his peace and will no longer suffer.
