Health and money are only important when you do not have them....

my friend, you're one of the reasons i'm glad i joined this community.
and you're also right about depression. we tend to use the word "depression" to describe an indefinite sensation of sadness. truth is depression is a pathological condition. one of the most frightening illness a man can experience.... and one of the most difficult to treat from a medical point of view.
i do have my personal view about suicide. sometimes a suicide can be just the easiest way out, for a weak who doesn't have the strenght to face the challenges that life puts on our path.
but when depression is involved, then suicide has nothing to do with cowardice... in those cases suicide is not the last resource of a weak man... it's the last attack of that damn bastard illness that depression is.
and i believe that having a pubblic "succesful" image in theese cases can make things even worse, as u can't ask for help and u can't let people know your pain.
i really feel about this guy. riposi in pace

the thing is life needs no reasons (other than life itself). and death knows no logic.
so there's no way to "justify" (to find a cause, a purpose or a reason for) life, neither to explain or understand death (not that it would really matter).
besides, even if life could possibly be justified by any possible reason, having to deal with depression for 6 years would probably make those reasons vanish.
