Because people equating suicide to selfishness or cowardice are only expressing their point of view on the matter; As they see it, if they kill themselves, it's going to be out of cowardice or selfishness
That's the reality, it's their own interpretation of suicide, suicide they don't know, suicide they can only imagine. All suicides aren't the same.
That's for the general rule.
Now you can also have people who are bitter about it because they don't understand/or don't want to understand... Why a relative did it.
...
One can very well take his own life for the sake of others, to spare them suffering, in a case of full blown generalized cancer combined with huge amount of debt for instance
What are you going to do? Drag your relatives into that shit for months? Years? Is that a favor?
Or are you going to off yourself, make it short, spare you and them the agony?
How is that selfishness or cowardice? It's reason
People act like tough guys about suicide but none of them have the guts to go for it, all of them are scared of death. And they have the guts to call suicide cowardice or selfishness or whatever stupid generic label.
All suicides are different, they don't know, they think they know but they don't know
