The mind is such a fragile thing.  And I'm not saying it lightly because of a spate of high-profile "suicides" lately.

Many of us were shocked to read about celebrities taking their own lives due to a number of personal reasons.  Take the case of a famous designer who ended his own life after his mother's death.  Apparently, he was so distraught over the loss of his beloved mother that he decided to join her in death.

Then there's the case of a once famous child actor whose career did not go well during his adult years.  I followed this particular case when he was reported missing but eventually his body was found in the woods. 
I was hoping for a happy ending but unfortunately it was not to be.

And recently, a Korean actor/singer also took his own life at the prime of his life.  News concerning his father's terminal illness and pressures of career were stated as reasons for his decision to end it all.

These are just a few which made the news internationally due to their celebrity status/nature.  I'm sure many more went unnoticed.

And so I ask myself:  What is it that makes a person go over the edge, when is it the precise moment when we decide that it's no longer worthwhile to exist anymore in this world?

Just a thought... not a happy one... but still... one must always wonder...
