Dane, suicide is irrational to a non-depressive.

To a depressive, with a numb, confused, and tormented mind, suicide may appear
the only escape from a hell so brutal I remember thinking once that I would not wish
it on Adolph Hitler.

I used to think that if I could somehow isolate my depression into my right arm, I'd
grab a knife or chainsaw and cut it off.

As a kid, I recall first seeing drawings of Dante's inferno and wondering what hell was
really like.

As a depressive, I eventually found out.

And as a friend, I pray you never experience it.

Bless you.

I understand that, my point is that should suicide be elevated to being "noble".

My opinion is no.
