[Ghoulish Delight]

Free will: "I can do anything I want to do."

In the end, aren't all acts selfish at the core? Every decision we make is the synthesis of all of our competing needs and wants, resulting in performing the action that carries the most self satisfaction, or the least self dissatisfaction. Even an outwardly "selfless" act requires the actor to WANT to perform it.

I don't agree that selfishness necessarily is a purposeful hurtful act towards someone else. It can simply by a complete lack of account for others. I think we've all had moments where we're distracted by our own problems that we temporarily forget to consider others, I don't find it too hard to imagine that getting to the point where your thoughts are so clouded and distracted that nothing else makes it through.

In the end, I'm skeptical that all suicides can be boiled down to a single word like "selfish" or "malicious" or "cowardly". The only thing I know they have in common that doesn't require being in the person's head is "sad".
