Man...that's messed up. It's like reading "Moby Dick". You know it's all about how much it sucks to be human, but you read it anyway.

That being said, I'm sure I'll catch all hell for what comes next. That guy was a pansy. Speaking from a point of a person who has been physically challenged and somewhat depressed at various times since birth, I find it insulting that this guy chose the cowards way out. Truely living your life is 100 times harder than dying and if your life is so drastically altered by your appearance and physical abilities then it didn't mean much to begin with. The melodrama and triteness of his post coincides with the way in which he met his end. No, I can't imagine what it's like to be normal one minute and then disfigured the next...that is because, in a sense, I've always been disfigured by most people's standards. Add to that the fact that almost everyone is depressed at some point in life whatever the reason, be it purely mental, a love lost, a death of a close friend or relative...whatever. I am not a praying man and if I were I would refuse to pray for a coward who left this world of his own volition. Rather I would pray for his son and hope he never realizes the rather "convenient" way in which his father left this world. I'd also pray that his family could come to terms with their loss and understand what made this man feel that his ultimate end was the only solution. Yes, we've all got problems. Some larger than others. But in the end by taking your own life you're only proving that you couldn't do what matters most...actually living that life. I remember my mother once asked me in regards to my condition if I wished I'd never been born at all. My answer was immediate and simple. "No...that's for pussies and people who don't know what life is really about. Experiences that trouble you are probably the best experiences of all because they teach you what it truely means to live".

Flame away if you want, but my guess is that none of you will ever understand as much about physical pain and deformity as I do what it is to be this guy and NOT take the coward's way out. I honestly do feel bad for speaking ill of the dead, but such behavior should not be tolerated from anyone...especially someone who put up such a fight to live.
