On Suicide

  > The first thing to consider, is that depression is a rational response to depressing circumstances. Imagine a time machine allowed you to go back in time to World War 2 and walk around Auschwitz. Would your conclusion be, “Gosh, these people need Zoloft! Look at all this clinical depression!” Or would it be that they needed to be rescued from the hell they were living in? The author confuses "rational" with "understandable".

    The commenter confuses "rational" as economists use it with "rational" as the rest of society uses it.

  This is a tough, but worthwhile read. Someone out there is lucky to have this person as a friend.
