the only reason they haven't committed suicide is because they weren't put in the same situation.
and some people are just naturally depressive.
i myself am naturally pessimistic and get depressed easily; its harder for someone with my mindset to keep myself from commiting suicide, than it is for people that have optimistic personalities and perfect lives.

I'm not so much a pessimist but have been quite depressive. However it is possible to build, with practice, a more realistic and hence more *positive* outlook (as pessimism and realism are very different). I believe that pessimism and optimism are often habits, as is depression. Also I've never heard of ANYONE that has either a perfect or an easy life.

but as i've said before, suicide is an act of selfishness since you're only thinking about ending your own suffering; while bringing more suffering to your family and friends.

Quite. It can also be cruel to strangers. I'm particularly thinking of train drivers.
