some people have a good time, for whatever reasons, manifesting as human on this material plane. other folks, for whatever reasons, are miserable. the world and human existance is not beautiful for them. though human society (based in species survival instinct) makes rules against self determined exit i don't find it wrong, selfish or insane to desire to escape misery.
if someOne is so so unhappy, so in pain, that they're willing to jump off into the unknown in order to escape it's selfish to expect them to remain in misery on your behalf and coerce them with guilt and threats of hell or bad karma.
if suicide weren't so taboo troubled people might not be so secretive about their feelings and plans. if those in anguish felt they could approach the topic with their loved ones without being harrangued with guilt, judged insane and labeled "selfish spoiled children" there would be more space to try to offer alternatives. and even if the anguished one couldn't be healed and convinced to stay at least those being left wouldn't be suddenly and painfully shocked and feeling they "should've known. should've done something."
