You can't prevent future incidents by being so tragic! People freak out and kill themselves all the time. You can't micromanage peoples lives. Don't waste your time trying to understand.

You can't prevent future incidents by being so tragic! And I'm certain your laughter will be heard by some individual in India contemplating suicide. Anyone contemplating suicide is so preoccupied with their perceived problems that they are immune to almost any appeal.
