Please don't make light of suicide to display your confusion with the article.

It's not constructive and it's pretty juvenile.

It's a common figure of speech that conveys an established sentiment. Don't nitpick on trivialities.

>It's a common figure of speech

Only for certain audiences of a particular age group.

It's not globally common. It's commonality doesn't remove the other characteristics of it which ruins the entire point of drawing attention to how often it's used.

Please don't be disingenuous when the conversation needs to be more constructive in the first place.

My sentiments exactly. I honestly can't tell if the article was intended to be serious or satire.

Same. I kept wondering if the whole thing was younger in cheek. Was he trying to make a commentary on people that actually do this? No, I think the author was serious. Strange indeed.

Yeah... So, where's the "wisdom"? And what's the take-away?
