It has nothing to do with cowardice. Those that commit suicide are not *not* afraid of death, but are tired of life.
It's not the same thing.
However, it *is* the easier way out.
The person committing suicide will have no more problems, but if there are any loved ones left, the pain will be forever inflicted on them. And that is not fair.
It takes more courage to face problems. Realize that situations *do* change.
