We are in the 21st century, until when before people realize that suicide does not put an end to problem, but rather create more for those living??
That's really a sad story, but I can't understand why someone would end his life over gambling. The shame and financial insecurity that comes with losing large amounts of money is devastating, but suicide is not fixing any problems. It's the easy way out for the person itself, and everybody else is stuck with the problems. Like you said, suicide is only creating more problems not fixing them. I wish anybody who has thoughts about suicide would think more deeply about the situation. All the debt you accumulated and the money you lost for your friends and family is not coming back overnight, it's not solving any problems for the living. That's exactly why I would not consider suicide a real option, my family and their well being is more important to me than my own situation. I couldn't leave them alone with all the problems. There is always a chance to find a new job and repay the money we lost, life is more important than money.
