I saw a special on t.v. a while back where someone had set up cameras by the golden gate bridge and caught SEVERAL people, per day, committing suicide off of the bridge. It was absolutely heartbreaking.

It makes me feel horrible even now. It was the saddest and loneliest thing I have ever witnessed. One guy kept coming back everyday but was stopped by others, until he finally succeeded. That's why I sincerely hope God has mercy on these people. Their pain and desperation must be unbearable.

So, you are saying they should commit suicide since according to you their life is essentially over?

Nope, that is your own conclusion.
I'm only saying that not everyone is able to enjoy life.
You can live without feeling any joy in life and this is called survival instead of living.
People who've suffered such tragedies as that Austrian paedophilia victim are often incapable of ever feeling true joy again.
Some survive, some commit suicide, but only very few ever truly overcome such a deep traumatic experience.

Well, why continue living if you cannot enjoy life?

Dunno, you should ask them that question.

Really? You always seem to have all the answers -

The other day - a beautiful model committed suicide in New York - jumped out of an apartment window to the street below - you probably would have offered to help her commit suicide seeing she must have been in such pain and all -

And I gave you my answer, which is: ask them and not me.

Do you have some sort of a machine that can measure the agony other people are experiencing?
I know I don’t.

I only said that he is suffering from intense pain caused by an incurable condition.

So you believe that doping up people for the rest of their lives is the answer?
That the level of quality of a patient's life is irrelevant?
