For the real episodes where someone takes the selfish route of suicide, here's a good verse for those who might think its brave...
Quote:
1 Tim 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel .
KJV

The word "infidel" is translated from the Greek work "apistos" and means "unbeliever". "pistos" means believing, and coupled with then Greek negative article "a" means the opposite of believing. The verse is not just saying that someone who does not provide for their own is an unbeliever - its saying that they are worse than an unbeliever.
At least if someone has a wife or kids who need support, then suicide is unbelief, selfish and irresponsible. A form of weakness and failure. Nothing successful about it.
That's an excellent verse for anyone contemplating suicide to think about.
