Suicide is by all means illogical and irrational, really. If you think hard enough, you can never think yourself into suicide.
But I understand why people still do it anyway. Plainly because life is eventually illogical too. We cannot expect logic to work all the time, I observe.
If you’re interested, list down in the comments (be clear and succinct) the case for suicide. Just one line explaining the reason behind taking your life.
(And to level the playing field, I am a suicide-prone person too.)

Suicide, like any choice, can have logical grounds.
For example: A person is suffering from an agonizing disease (mental or physical). The person’s primary goal is to make the pain stop. By destroying the cerebral cortex with a shotgun blast to the head, this effectively causes the neurons to stop transmitting the sensation of pain, and logically the pain will stop. This is just one of many examples.
