You are going to have to further explain what your parameters are? Are you suggesting that it takes greater strength to give up and fall to your weakness because life got rough or difficult. If so that is a literal loser mentality, life got tough, just go ahead and fall to that weakness.
The means to do and go wherever he wanted, had friend's, family including an 11 year old. His good friend even found him. He was a current example of living respectfully. His life should have been good and enjoyable, it's weakness that prevented it.
No, I'm saying that remaining rational and objective about your potential weaknesses, requires more mental strength, then shaming yourself into "willing it through". The latter is what a lot of people are doing. A masochistic exercise in "clinging on" despite not knowing why. A servitude for others above the self, even though there is no serving others without serving the self. Because without a strong self, you have nothing to give to the world, but pity, weakness, and self-loathing.
I know plenty well why I keep on living. Because I'm a biological organism, the purpose of which is to survive and to pro-create, at a sustainable rate. Most people never comprehend anything about why they live. They simply think that they need to, because otherwise they would feel shameful. But there is no shame after death. It's not a rational thing to even think about. Death, if nothing else, is a release of all such duty, all such "shame", for better or worse. That's why many desire it, despite its unknown properties.
Once you're dead, you're dead. A person who worries about what comes after, to me, is simply an idiot. There is probably no after, and even if there was, it would hopefully not be an existence occupied with the same self-absorbed foolishness, self-loathing and shaming that are inseparable from our current from of existence.
Shame, disgrace, submission, servitude to others, these are not, in my opinion, reasons enough to go on living. That's why I don't care for shaming suicidal people by reminding them of their "responsibilities" to others. I can think of plenty of others ways to make them contemplate why they should keep on living. They are beyond the capability of fulfilling their duties at the point of suicide, anyway. A depressed, self-loathing man is not a good influence on their children.
A slave to one's family, and even to one's own sons and daughters, is still a slave. If you can't bear the burden of raising your kids, don't. Figure something else out. Regenerate your self, gather your strength, and then get back into the grind, if you will.
