Suicide; Selfish or Not?

[Mr. Pedantic]

A good friend of mine's brother attempted suicide several years ago. Long story short, he had bad aim and a police officer was able to locate him in time to get him to a hospital and save his life. He's healthy now just has some disabilities that limit what he is capable of doing.

Nobody regarded his actions as selfish, nobody even questioned it. Everyone just accepted that it happened and decided to work together to create the best future they can for everyone.

You can either choose to be angry at the past, or choose to be optimistic of the future.

Almost dying changes nothing. Dying changes everything (apparently).

From what I understand, a person with an unsuccessful attempt is left with huge bills as well. I guess that is society's way of telling such people that if you are going to try it, make sure you succeed.
