Man, it's really disturbing for me to read something like that. Come on, guys! If someone, close or not to me, wants to die I won't just let he die. I'll talk to him to try to understand why he could even think of doing something like that. To take out his own life. And then do everything I can to help him. And that, is the least we can do. To help someone who needs our help so badly.
Life is the biggest gift we have, we can't just give up living. I understand that sometimes, everybody, EVERYBODY, feels weak and go through bad moments, don't think it's an exclusive feeling because it's not. Everybody needs help of our family and friends and this is not something that happens once in a life time.
Nobody can be happy forever, and that is why life is so good. If we were always happy, from the day we born until the day we die, happiness wouldn't be so good. It'd be just something we wouldn't care about. Happiness would turn into a ordinary feeling.
We need to learn to deal with our feelings, we need to get sad to see how good it is to be happy.
Have you born sad? No. Don't you have any happy memory? Of course you do. All you have to do is to find a way to bring that happiness back! I know that is not always easy. But it's necessary. And no, you don't have the right to take out your life. Not because that's the easy way out, but because the pain it will cause to the people who love you will never pass. And I disagree with you here, Mire. The pain caused by a friend/relative's death won't be "replaced by new discoveries/new pleasures". It just won't. I already lost some people I loved and I can tell you that it just gets worse with the time. Because the pain caused by the possibility to forget someone you love is as horrible as death itself.
I get sad by seeing what some of you guys think about life. Life was never meant to be a fard. If it is, if you really are so sad that you think you can't be happy anymore it's because there's something very wrong.
There's always hope, for a better life, for a better "you". Your life power is accessed and directed by your thoughts. If you think "you can't", "you won't", how could something good happen? Tell me.
I need to believe you and start doing something to change your life if it's not like you want it to be. Your life won't change, your life won't get better if you do nothing about it, if you just stay home, thinking how sad you are, how poor your life is and how everybody else's life is better than yours. You have to stand up and start running after your dreams, after what can make you happier.
Stop. And think.
If you want a girlfriend, a better job, friends or whatever. See that as an objective and go after it. Don't think: "I'm sad, my life sucks. ... I'm going to play Team Fortress 2 so I can forget all those problems, pretend I'm someone else and not think about my life for 2 hours". That kind of behavior won't do any better for you. Learn from your mistakes, stop running away from your problems, stop hidding from life, stop thinking you are the most unlucky person in the world and, finally, stop pretending it's ok to do all these things. Go out and create your own opportunities. It's just your life you are losing, after all. Right?
There are so many of us now who are living our lives through the observance of the lives of others. The most memorable experiences will be the ones you discover for yourself, so get up off that couch and create a life of your own. It's the only way to fix what's wrong.
It's up to you, and only to you, to have a better life.
"The power to be what you want to be, to get what you desire, to accomplish whatever you are striving for, abides within you. It rests with you only to bring it forth and put it to work. You must learn how to do that, of course, but the first essential is to realize that you possess this power, your first objective to get acquainted with it."
-- Robert Collier, The Secret of the Ages

If you wish to dispute this then there must be a battle to define the winner. Being the current champion Gladiator@ has pickings on the battle location and stipulations of the match.
