So it's okay for that person to take their life if needed, and we should just accept it. Instead of trying to influence their decision by mentioning irrelevant examples of others to let them live longer and prolong their suffering. That's what I believe. 

the point ur making is valid only if u actually know that person is going to take the xtreme step..

after he comitted suicide she is telling taht he is a coward for doing that..but why didnt she talk him out of it? because we cant read others minds..we can only go so far as the person let us.

he was my closest friend. and his struggle changed me from a libertarian (american version) to someone not an asshole. still it wasn't enough for me to convince him to go for rehabilitation regularly.

so at any point in ur interactions with him, did it occur to u that he might take take his life?

I agree with her opinion on ur deceased friend. Every one has a tragedy..we cant feel sorry for ourselves

agreed

That kind of detachment make people indifferent. No wonder she wasn't compassionate towards him

I didn't say suicide. lets not talk about this.

The crux of the story is - how far apart friends have traveled, even though both of you end up with almost the same ideology, but with completely opposite ways of looking at it.

the difference is so stark, that she left me feeling mad about showing my excitement for even meeting her.

not overcoming it doesn't diminish a person.

Absolutely but she just presented her perspective . I still dont understand why you got ticked off so much. Was it because of the way she presented her view about the frnd or because she thrashed ur beliefs about society?

I got ticked off because we were all friends. friends enough to remember names and instances after almost 20yrs.
