Quite thought provoking, actually.

Perhaps, then, suicide involves self absorption rather than selfishness. (ona side note, I had to edit for spelling....who would have thought that absorb becomes absorption???? Learn something new every day.)

I think "Selfishness" is an external judgement others place upon your actions. Your internal motivations be they self absorption, thoughtlessness or even well meaning are largely irrelevant to a judgement of "Selfishness" by others.
