You know Less, there are two sides to every subject.
And when we are talking about being judgemental aren't you being just that?

You judge my opinions as sentimental tosh.......I have looked after people who have fought to die....just as much as those patients suffering from life shortening illness have fought to cling on to life....so although I have not been in your shoes, please do me the courtesy of allowing me my own views.
Every suicide is different......because every person who commits that act is different....and just as much as I did not know what was in your mind when you attempted that act(in fact, you now confess that you don't know either), neither do you know what is in anyones else's mind when they contemplate suicide.

It is akin to grieving...no-one...even those who have suffered/experienced a bereavement can ever know what another human being is feeling...we can only imagine, and work out a little of what they are experiencing by what we, ourselves have lived through...but it is never ever going to come anywhere close, is it?
