Rationalization for taking the easy way out.

I'm not a qualified expert and I'm not looking to pick a fight with anybody. My comments were designed to help Farzin feel better about it instead of feeling badly about the whole situation.

That's just it. If he's in that state of mind, then there was probably no one who would have been able to rationalize anything with him, including himself. While I've had the thoughts like, "How would the world be different without me?", "Who would attend my funeral?", etc, I've never actually considered offing myself. I've never been that far into that state of mind to understand how a person like that must be feeling or the thoughts rolling through his head. You're calling him a loser and telling his friend to forget he ever existed. You're not just telling his friend to be mad about the situation.

As the OP asks, I will send good thoughts to his friends and family.

I have a strong opinion about this and I'm happy to answer your questions and defend my position but I won't continue it on this thread.

I agree with your opinions to an extent, but there's no need for further discussion. No defending necessary. Didn't mean to come across as that offensive.
