While it is true that the suicide braves death, he does it not for some noble object but to escape some ill.

You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.

And what do you think "happiness" is.. money, cars, women? Or is it just money or cars?laugh Money can't buy happiness, it just helps you look for it in a lot more places and searching for happiness is one of the chief sources for unhappiness...laugh
Some people have the gift of happiness wherever they go, others, whenever they leave; like in a large, loving, caring, close knit family...in another city far from where you live...wine

Well, i feel happy not having lots of money,or the latest model of
a car, as well not having a woman in my life right now.Maybe in
the future,with a lady in my life,i would feel more happy or not
happy at all.-People view happiness from different angles.

makes a good man),is not up to me to assess myself,its others job,
to assess someone.
