I am glad MBC appreciates all feedback- I fail to see why I need to justify not finding it romantic.

I think all of us perceive things differently because we are bring different experiences to our current state of perception. Writing hits us all at different levels, which is part of it's beauty and fun.

As for justification.....this is a discussion board and therefore we discuss things.

Discussion: an extended communication (often interactive) dealing with some particular topic; "the book contains an excellent discussion of modal logic"; "his treatment of the race question is badly biased".
An exchange of views on some topic; "we had a good discussion"; "we had a word or two about it"

But conversely, I've recently been told by some that demanding justification is not discussion and that it can be an indicator of being a prick.

I agree that suicide is selfish, but that doesn't exclude romantic elements either. Pure altruism doesn't exist and selfishness is found in every action. But then I view suicide as a selfish decision but not one that it inherently an unreasonable decision.
