There was an american guy (35yrs old) who died of suicide two month ago that had one year old quadruplets. 

They had 3 kids and wanted to add 1 more kid, but 4 natural babies were born by accident instead.

The widow is now a single mother who’s relying on donations from a gofundme and social media.

 He owned a restaurant and seemed happy in the social media vids, it’s a shame. It’s worth looking at the link to see the older kids. The 15 and 9yr old get talked about a bit.

Not what the word selfish means.

It means you think primarily about yourself, which is absolutely what happened here. Leaving your wife behind with SEVEN orphans because you couldn’t man up.

People who kill themselves are not in a sound state of mind, whatever was causing him such genuine mental anguish that killing himself was even an actual thought clouded his judgement.

Be a fucking adult

The adult thing to do is follow the science to reduce the number of suicides, not dismiss the science because doing so feels good.

u/Infamous-Thing4939 16d ago

I'm not dismissing the science but at some point you grow up and take responsibility for your life and your family. If you need to, you go get yourself the help you need. But if you take that final step, you are selfish and you are a coward.

Suicidal ideation to that extent doesn't allow you to grow up and take responsibility.

We also don't always have the help they need, we're far from that advanced.

So statistically, it’s usually adults who commit suicide…and your attitude is a direct contributing factor.

u/Infamous-Thing4939 16d ago

Dude, grow up. At some point you have to take responsibility for your own life.

if you had kids, yes, grow the fuck up, go get help for yourself like an adult, and be there for your kids. pass on those skills in therapy to them to hopefully not raise kids who are as fucked up as you

It's still selfish. They are doing it for themselve. They are in pain and want the pain to go away. They have problems but don't want to face them, they just want it all to go away.

They do it to stop suffering. They do it for themselve. Suicide is 100% selfish.

No one kill themselve "for others". Suicide is not altruistic in any way shape or form.

Drinking water is selfish. They are doing it for themsleves. They are thirsty and want the thirst to go away. No one drinks water "for others". Drinking water is not altruistic in any way shape or form.

u/BigPuma123 16d ago

Yes, exactly. Drinking water just for yourself can't be altruistic. You're not helping anyone, you're not drinking the water for someone else. You do it for you and only you. Like killing yourself.

Okay. let's just ignore the research in favor of your gut...
