I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

:huh:

Yeah I am serious.  I myself firmly believe that it is crazy to commit suicide.  But I also see that suicide could be a rational decision from another person's point of view. 

So there's no actual truth, just whatever we each make of it?

No, that's "No fate but what we make."

You were destined to say that.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

At any rate, I think it seems very odd to assume that a person who commits suicide was thinking rationally rather than they had lost perspective.

Because suicides are a major mental health problem?  Or because people deciding to kill themselves are rarely making a rational decision, and are usually suffering from a mental issue impacting their decision-making?  I swear, Mono, sometimes your shtick crosses form being amusing to being offensively inhumane.

Is it really our place to judge whether another human being is making a rational decision? 

Fuck yeah.
