Should we prevent suicide attempts?

[Samurai Waki]

Strike,
You have to understand that people do radical things when put into stressful situations. Its not a matter of "woe is me" or "people don't understand me" its usually more just complete perceptual obliviousness to the world that surrounds you. Suicide isn't the only case where people do fatal harm to themselves, you could go so far as to say that Murdering somebody would fall right along into the same category, only suicide is internalized where murder is externalized, and I hate to say it but nearly everybody can be pushed to the point of murder no matter what class, country, or lifestyle the person belongs to. You might ask yourself this question, am I a person who kills myself? or kills other people? If you don't fall into either category, there may be something very wrong...or very right.
Besides the point, the vast majority of people who do kill themselves are suffering from debilitating mental neurosis, or perhaps thats how they perceive it. How you perceive, or anyone else just doesn't matter to them. Likewise, the vast majority of murderers are also people who suffer from debilitating mental neurosis, of course you would have to get off of your "high horse" in order to understand that these chemical imbalances in people's brains aren't what defines them, because you are composed of the same chemicals, its just theirs aren't balanced whereas yours is, which is only to mean that they're a fraction more likely to carry out such acts as anyone else who doesn't have a mental neurosis.
