This isn't the only article i read on this topic. It's shocking to me how inconsiderate the Japanese are of suicide and grieving. Just goes to tell you what happens to a society when a troubling issue is ignored - it becomes mundane part of daily life and the majority ceases to care.

Simplifying things greatly, Japanese society is a collective one, and one could argue that suicide is a selfish decision that damages the collective by removing any possible utility you may be giving it for the sake of yourself. As even small transgressions of this nature are frowned upon in Japanese culture, it's not surprising to me that the bigger transgressions have these reactions.
