Suicide? Take a closer look, this thread is more about plagiarize (sic).
But back 'on point', was it Dick Van Patten or perhaps Albert Camus who said, "there is but one truly serious philosophical problem and that is suicide."

i had a close friend take his own life a few years back. i'm not mad he did it - he was in chronic pain from a life-long history of migraines, and had a few other things going on that he could have dealt with but that one was just too much, and i know that...i understand and respect his decision to determine the conditions that he was willing to continue living under. i also recognize that these situations are all different, and that his case is one and one alone...
i *am* still pissed he lied to me three days before hand, when i felt the vibe coming and asked him what was up...that part still stings...

Me'n old Juan kinda miss the Raj. He could team up with Locker and they could provide a hell of a fine advice service.

It seems that so often, when a friend is down and miserable, we leave them alone. It's a drag to be around them, eh? Then if he commits suicide, we beat ourselves up for not caring enough.
All you can do is try to do the best you can.
