And all those things are illusions like fame. The person was unbalanced to start with. He was a bomb ready to go off. Maybe it's a good thing he did not get to build big things with critical functions that many people rely on.
If this guy was 'unbalanced' because he killed himself as he failed in an exam , then my guess would most people in societies oriented towards academics must be the same way as well - Indians , Japanese , Chinese , and certainly a lot of Americans......Some folks take this stuff -exams , degrees , grades seriously.
Unless I am mistaken, this school is nearly impossible to gain entrance. Entry is dependent solely on the results of a nationwide test and only the top thousand or so are accepted. Having achieved acceptance under such rigorous rules and then fail could have serious emotional consequences even for well balanced individuals. In many instances, these students have spent years preparing for that single examination and acceptance. If students in the US had only one tenth of such commitment to education, education in this country would not be in such dire straits.
