A close friend of mine is struggling with his life. He sees this world as a cold uncaring place. I can't seem to relate to other people and is constantly bombarded with things going wrong for him. He keeps himself alive for his children and so his ex wife won't feel guilty. Be he's miserable.
It's way more selfish to ask other people for you to remain miserable. You don't owe anyone else sh*t. I've NEVER understood this stupid mentality of "it's selfish to commit suicide." Like, how? You're supposed to suffer forever for people who don't appreciate you enough to care about your mental health? Seriously, that sh*t is DUMB!
What that said though, he should not commit suicide. What he SHOULD do is allow his ex-wife and kids to be unburdened by him, and work on his mental state. Hell, maybe even run away and move to another country or something. Being a deadbeat dad is better than killing himself. He probably got f*cked over hard in the divorce and the child support is probably a strong source of his depression.
I was suicidal in my early 20s. I legit, for YEARS, did not expect to live past 24. I knew 24 was going to be my death year, if not earlier. But I made it to 25. And 36 is even unfathomable for me. People can't understand it when extremely depressed, but as long as they aren't physically hurting another person or themselves, there's always a better option than suicide.
It more selfish to want something bad, suicide usually considered to be a bad choice.
In my opinion committing suicide is selfish. By going through with it your leaving your loved ones not only with the stress of planning a funeral but the cost of it isn't cheap. Most people who are suicidal just want to end their pain they have no intention of hurting anyone. Unfortunately by putting an end to their pain they end up putting that pain on the ones who loved them.
That is purely a personal opinion. I wouldn’t attempt to judge another on such a choice. We only ever know a fraction of what goes on in someone else's mind, what challenges they face. I hope for the sake of his children he manages through his struggles.

Make certain he gets to some counseling that will help him sort out his issues.
It's selfless of him to keep going, it selfish of them to demand he stays alive.
It can be either or even both, depending on the circumstances and one's perspective
Your life living it or ending it whenever the option exists is your option to act upon
More selfish to commit suicide. It is the most selfish action possible
if someone is terminally ill and the pain becomes unmanageable that would be the best bet vs leaving the hospital Bill burden sucking your family dry
i been going through this a lot myself lately
He can try not being miserable.
