<< I've got a very open mind, make a point of logic and I'll agree with you. I just don't what incredibly pain this man was in (he isn't a POW here) that justified him taking his own life. Ultimately I really don't care, I don't even particularly like the music, but I also don't understand how you can't say it was the sissy way out. He left life knowing what a burden his death would be on his family, specifically his child. Rather than working through his problem or seeing a doctor for his tummy ache he shoots up and shoots himself. To me, that seems like the easy way out, he did it so he didn't have to deal with anything. Thats called quitting in my book, and I think its the candy ass thing to do when you've got a child. Then again if daddy's a heroine addict, perhaps its not a huge loss. >>
Yes, it does seem like you ultimately really don't care. You won't really understand unless you get to be in this same level of physical/emotional pain. BTW, from what I read, it wasn't a 'tummy ache,' but severe stomach pains. I don't know about what treatment he sought for it... what makes you think he didn't?
I don't know what to say about his drug use. It makes the situation more complicated. But I think I hear he used this to get relief from the intense physical/emotional pain he was suffering.
If he didn't want the kid, wouldn't it have been easier to just ditch them? It seems that it would have the same effect, but more gutless.
Killing oneself is probably the hardest descision to make. Our logic doesn't apply to this. When a person is depressed, options dissaper, and hope dissapears. The person sees no other solution to the situation, no way for it to get better.
Also, it is possible to ignore physical pain to some extent. When it is in the mind, there is nowhere else to turn.
What I'm trying to say is that suicide happens for very strong reasons, every moment is hell. Think about it, at the point putting the gun to his head, he was so tortured that he couldn't live one more second.
You should hope this never happens to you.
