Platitudes often sound both stupid and insincere even when they are well meaning.

If you spew those sorts of things at people facing a permanent hurt you exacerbate the likelihood of suicide rather than alleviate the persons hurt. Nor do you endear yourself to other people who are trying to help and who are putting some actual effort into doing so.

Why would you assume I'd do that? Regardless, I stand by my comment.
