It just sucks that people can distort reality so badly that they see a drastic action like suicide as a means to an end, even worse when that suicide is also a mass murder. Sure it'll get the point across to the families of just how bad Lubitz was feeling, but come to people honestly and openly tell them your troubles instead of something like this and things can turn around and be better again.
The mere idea of suicide always stuck in my brain even when I was a child. I heard about famous people, celebrities, musicians, political leaders, even not so famous people like friends/acquaintances of my parents' having committed suicide. It ALWAYS made me wonder, how could things get that bad, what kind of feelings was the person going through to feel that there was 0 possibility of things getting better, to think that there was 0 possibility of ever being happy or at peace again. Of course that got me into some trouble in elementary school when the guidance counselor asked "Have you ever thought about suicide?" well fucking OF COURSE I've had thoughts about it: why someone does it, what causes it, how they did it, what the family and friends of the deceased felt like having to deal with it....all very common very natural thoughts, but of course the guidance counselor never stopped for a discussion I was just allowed to answer "yes" and then of course it was all hands on deck which of course frightened the shit out of my parents until they had a true discussion about it with me. Luckily my thoughts about suicide are not about doing it, but instead are about how people reach that end. Sometimes there's nothing a friend or family member can do, sometimes there's nothing a psychologist or psychiatrist can do......but this event, this is a horrific tragedy.
