its a selfish act by train..or by lorry on a motorway as it has a huge knock on effect on a totally innocent party..it can destroys drivers lives
not just drivers but police etc who have to pickup up the bits etc. if you are hit by a train it can tear you apart just from impact.
Agreed (by definition), but it's a quick means to an end - which is essentially what a high speed, multi-tonned impact offers to someone clearly not thinking in their right mind at the time (if they ever could).
It's quick, very effective and unfortunately gives people very little time to think - not that they are. If their 'emotional torment is brimming' while waiting for their ride and then begins to spill, even if the intention wasn't initially there to begin with, they suddenly have the opportunity/gift to swiftly and definitively end the torment.
Life is a gift/opportunity - but has moments when it can monumentally ****ing suck, usually when you least expect it. And for some, if they haven't got the support or the ability to convey how they're feeling - then the quickest way out can sometimes prevail - with very little forethought. Even if they unintentionally hurt those closest to them or those that happen to be controlling/travelling on the high speed mallet that can shuttle them off this mortal coil as quickly and as painlessly as 'they think' is possible.
It is a selfish act, by definition, but had they been in their right mind to begin with...
...that said some suicides leave notes for the policeman on the car window, to be careful. Yes, considerate - but they will still have effected someone's life - basically, there's no selfless suicide (terminally ill, grey area).
*And for police the crippler is kids :/
