Response #17 has absolutely nothing to do with the original suicide note. Like the "Buddha Boy" response, this idiot was inspired by the suicide note just to condescend and blow hard about his sophomoric knowledge. I’m only posting it to show the range of idiocy there is regarding responses to suicide. I tried to trim it down, but every sentence is a gem, a real eye-roller:

Ah, the Human Condition. To live by the flesh and be tortured by the universal soul. To realize that our individual life is just a speck in the dark, but to recognize that we make up a whole. Remember that, you are part of a whole. Whether you would want to admit it or not, you are. I won't tell you to turn to God, I won't tell you to think of all those you will leave behind, I won't tell you to persevere through your problems. I will tell you that everyone suffers, that is the Human Condition. To be a virtuous person, you must struggle, you must force yourself to find the medium between two extremes. To take one extreme over the other is not virtuous. Throughout the ages men have dealt with the same problems over and over, why do you think people still recite Shakespeare to children, why is our education system still based on the principles of The Liberal Arts? People struggle everyday, the degree to which everyone struggles is subjective. I am not in the business of telling people what to do, of telling people what they should care for, or telling someone what should be their goals. Rather, I will tell people to Think. Think before you speak, Think when you read, Think when you act, Think when you feel. Use your mind. Do not subscribe yourself to prize other's thoughts, but your own. But continually change your thoughts as you receive new information. Think about where you are, where you are going, what you are doing. If Socrates is correct, by taking your own life you are interrupting the Universal Soul. If Socrates is correct, all that you wish to know is already present within yourself, it is just a matter of time before you uncover and remind your soul of the knowledge which it already posses. If you read one book today, read Plato's "Republic". And if you do decide to live tomorrow, read St. Thomas Aquinas' "Confessions". If you don't have them, I'll even lend them to you, but don't make a choice until you have thought it through entirely. The entirety of the situation does not just subscribe to your job, your home, you family or lack of, your spouse or lack thereof, your money or lack thereof. Think.
