The people you are hoping to hurt the most won't care, and the people you wouldn't want to hurt for the world will be the most broken.
I'm not buying that. I've not known of many people at all who have committed or attempted suicide because they wanted to really teach a lesson to the people who hurt them.

The majority of suicides and attempts I'm familiar with are mainly by people with mental illness and severe depression. The image of the person angry and crying that many people associate with suicide is inaccurate. It's more of a complete numbness and indifference.
