In the end there are too many scenarios, too many factors and consequences to bundle our views of suicide into one particular instance. There are often situations where there is no hope, when all is lost. This scenario may not be common but it has and will exist to some degree. Then there are scenarios where the individual will take suicide as option to escape from pressures, depression or other detrimental factors to their mental, physical or spiritual health as a means for release. In some instances these people can be helped.

Of course these are two examples at different ends of the spectrum, however the case we cannot simplify our view on suicide and judge all those who have taken their own lifes in the same way. There are just too many factors.
