Why is suicide considered selfish?

Every man is the architect of his own life, nobody can live your life in your place, you decide what to do with it. The rest is just hypocritical reasoning.

I have a friend whose mom killed herself after her dad was diagnosed with cancer. This left three kids to care for their ailing father. Suicide is selfish because you are purposefully taking yourself away from people that love and care for you. Just because you are suffering doesn't mean the people that love you want you to go away for good. It's selfish to take yourself away from those people. On the other hand, don't think I don't understand why people commit suicide. Depression is a scary, dark monster and can become too much to handle. But there is always hope....always! I feel sorry for those who think suicide is the only answer, and I feel sorry for the family members and friends left behind to grieve the loss of a loved one who chose to end his or her life. It's sad all around.

Because family may feel sad that the person is depressed but they would be devastated for the rest of their lives if the person died. They would all spend the rest of their lives blaming themselves. It's not a very kind thing to do to family. Depression can go away. A rotten life can get better. Things change but death is forever.
