Its okay not to understand suicide. Its not an easy thing for healthy, happy minds to comprehend. But if youve never been intimately effected by suicide, dont assume you understand why or how someone would take their own life. Suicide isnt a selfish act, its a desperate, sad, lonely act. Its not done on a whim, but usually after years of fighting the urge to extinguish the pain. They dont see it as selfishly abandoning their loved ones, but rather as freeing everyone from themselves, because they are filled with self-loathing and they fear life more than death. You dont have to understand people who take their own lives, but why demonize them? Let them rest in peace and allow them the same dignity and reverence youd give anyone who passed tragically. #mattwalsh #stfu
