I recently learnt of a very tragic case, in which an entrepreneur committed suicide, after killing his wife before doing so. Most likely, a case of depression brought on by a business failure. Farmers whose crops fail, and students who don't "do well" are regularly found killing themselves in India.
Whatever the reason, I think suicide is not an answer. It may seem like there is no solution to our immediate problems, but braving it out is possible. Even a person in a German concentration camp survived unimaginable horrors, and wrote about it- Man's Search for Meaning was the book.
Maybe we need to be more social. I think as a society, we must learn to listen, and talk. Share our problems at least with people around us, if not professional counselors. At least with people in the immediate circle, we must be as open as possible, and ask for help/give such help, before it is too late. Life is valuable. It is simply not worth committing suicide for any reason!
