On the news they tend to think that it is down to depression the problem is not that it is any of our business but you never no what is behind it I remember a place that I worked years ago there was a really nice bloke worked there in the tool room one day when we came in to work in the morning there was police cars there it seems that this bloke had put his head under a press it only went up and down about 2 inches but there was just enough room to get his head under it and killed himself it was said that the police caught him with some dirty photos and he could not face the shame of everyone finding out it just goes to show that you never really no.

Such sad news about Gary Speed, but I do have to agree that taking your own life is one of the most selfish and cowardly things you could do. Everyone has troubles in their life, it is no excuse to leave 2 young boys without a Father for the rest of their life.

I did think it a quite a bit insensitive today on the 18:30 ITN news that they gave about 60 seconds to the announce yet another waste of a British Soldiers life in Afghanistan(yes I know it is day in day out), But then to go on to report at well over 5 minutes the loss of a "True hero" Gary speed! :no:

 

Sorry there is no comparison,

News tends to reflect popular thinking - Gary Speed was well and widely known and well loved, the soldier was well loved but not so well known and he deserved more respect for the type of service he died giving. Gary Speed would probably have agreed with your viewpoint.

Both deaths were a sad waste of life. Its clear to me who should be called 'hero', in the truest sense of that word.

I think if you're suffering from depression, rational thought doesn't enter the equation.

 

Very sad.

I aggree with those of you who beleive that the serviceman who died was a True Hero.

Food For thought.

We had an unexplained suicide from a well loved member of our community well over a year ago. Nobody knew why, he left no note, lovely wife, 2 great grown up children, lots of friends. Still asking why????.

A local minster said something like this

We hear of fatal heartattacks, maybe you can have a "heart attack" of the mind, which causes this type of thing?

Don't know but.....

It is cowardly to back out of your troubles by taking your own life. It is even more selfish and cowardly when there are children involved. Those kids are never going to be the same again because of the actions of their father. Are you saying this is not a selfish and cowardly act?

Regardless of the fact he killed himself or why. I think that trying to kill yourself goes against the human nature and is very differcult to do if you weren't having a total mental breakdown moment.I have known of a couple of people who have managed to kill themselves and they have been an acumulation of time focused by an extream event to push them over the edge.It will probably come to light that there was something going on.

I feel for the people he left behind,honestly that will be his real legacy,the damage to his children.He will mainly be remembered for his suicide.i don't follow football so I'd never heard of him,but I feel for his family

I think selfish, and see why it can be seen as cowardly but it must take a lot of courage to tip the chair/pull the trigger/swallow the pills and take your own life....

 

You would have to be in the lowest of places and I find it hard to believe that a parent can't look at thier kids when things are down and get an instant uplift....

 

As has been said the legacy he leaves is the torment his kids will have everytime someone says "where's your dad" or "what does your dad do"

 

Very, very sad ....it's one of those unanswerable questions - if you could take a suicide victim back from the dead and ask them did they REALLY want to be dead??? Give up thier kids/wife/family?

 

No child should have to grow up missing either parents, if everything goes to plan every parent should meet thier grandchildren and hopefully great grandchildren, if you have done this count yourself lucky...if I get to meet my great grandkids I'll dance a jig as the grim reaper leads me away :good:
