I once had someone I looked up to and admired very much tell me that if he had gone through some of the things I had, that he would have committed suicide. Shortly after he said that, he effectively stole nearly $13M from me. I sometimes wonder if he did it thinking that it would make things so much worse for me that I actually would commit suicide (because that's what he would have done), and I wouldn't be around to fight him for it. You can't let bad experiences, bad people, and just plain bad luck make you start thinking about suicide. The reality is that most people that consider suicide don't do it. However, merely entertaining suicidal thoughts can be a caustic force in your life, as these thoughts affect every aspect of your life, and more importantly, hinder your ability to move on from the situation that caused the thoughts in the first place. When your life crumbles, chances are it wasn't built on a strong foundation to begin with. As long as you're still breathing, you have an opportunity to rebuild it.
