Some poor guy just jumped off of the parking garage across the street from my building to his death. I can see him from our floor, covered in a white tarp, surrounded by cops. right on the sidewalk. they are waiting for the coroner I guess.
weird shit.

I am glad that I was not out on the street to see it. I ahve talked to several of our building's security people and they patrol the block and two of them came around the corner just as he was about to hit the ground. horrible man!

To have to see something like that would be just awfull. Even seeing the white tarp would be too much for me.

Yeah, I couldn't look either. I don't even like passing car accidents.

I'm always conflicted when somebody commits suicide. I want to be angry with them for their lack of consideration for others, especially those with families that love them and care for them. But I still can't help feeling deeply sorry for them, because whether or not the thing, if there was a thing, that caused them to do it was really bad or not, the inner turmoil they would have to be feeling... I can't even imagine it. For something to push me as far as to jump off a building? My mind would have to be so distressed and torn up inside; it would be terrible.

I know what you're saying. I always try to treat suicide (before it happens) as something that I refuse to feel bad about, because if I treat it as a selfish act that doesn't deserve pity, I would hope that deters it.

But in reality it's terribly sad, and I always feel horrible for people that go through so much that they resort to that. Even if they were overreacting or unable to handle something properly, it was real to them. I can't get around it.

I too have that conflict about it.
I have personally stopped two friends from doing it.
However, we all have our breaking points, and who is qualified to judge another person's existance, or their desire to end that existance?
I say no one. no motter how close you may be to your best friend, your wife, your mom, your twin sibling, no one truly knows what is inside another person. all we can do is make a good guess.

I guess that's why I have a conflict. I would like to be able to tell somebody they should under no circumstances do it, but that's a tough call, because like you said, you don't know what is going through their head, and you can only guess that it is truly excruciating.

seeing someone kill himself is one of the worst things you can ever see.

a human being must really be in a state where he sees no other way to do something that goes against all of our natural instincts.

Another family suffers from the loss of a loved one this way. Poor guy also. Sucide is no solution, but I can totally understand how someone can reach that point.
