Hm... seems to me that you are talking about a select group of people, based
on the fact that they are phoning a suicide prevention centre. It seems to
me that phoning for help is acknowledging that your 'rational' reasons might
not be so rational after all. I think that even if you can't think of any,
you would probably acknowledge that there could be a rational reason for
suicide.
Do you agree?
