are people who try to kill themselves brave or cowards?

if the above statement seems familiar its because i took it from the random thoughts blogpost posted a few days ago.
no one really commented on this thought, but i think its an interesting question.

it takes guts to pull the trigger on yourself or to slit your wrists (god, the blood itself would make me nauseous) or to even pop yourself with so many pills knowing full well that you wont ever wake up.
then again, its ridiculous to run away from your problems and not face them like what youre suppose to do. its even stupid to take your own life cos of these damn problems.

i know the fact that i've never been in this situation gives me no right to judge the act of taking your own life or the people that do it.
but i do feel that even though it is generally an act of cowardice, these people are brave lot. the fact that they are able to actually end their life is just so gutsy.
but this is just me speaking.

your turn.
