As someone who has seriously contemplated suicide in their life, this statement reads very alien to me, and completely disrespectful of all those who have ended their lives early in the past. If anything, suicide is harder and braver to do than surviving until your body can no longer survive. What comes natural is the easiest to follow, if not the least painful...

That's not to say that suicide is necessarily the right choice and action -- often what we see is not all that is there, and life has more to teach us -- but it certainly is brave.
