Okay, @thedesertlynx , let me start by saying excellent post worth a tip!

Now, allow me in the next few lines to share a few of my own thoughts.

You never really know what people are going through

That’s right. People on the brink are some of the best masqueraders. Throughout the years I have spoken for hours with people ideating this choice. They are the ones who eventually walked through the darkness and continued in the fight called Life.

I personally believe everyone walking the earth in human form were booted out of heaven.

After all, in the beginning we were formed…Our highest purpose is to live life in a way that mimics God’s Only Begotten Son, in ways that help the greater good.

Your ability to open up and share is one such example of service.

people keep their struggles inside
not a soul knew about it.

Yes, and these are the masqueraders I speak of. They talk and they share life stories; but, never have the courage to be vulnerable with just putting it out there…what they’re going through.

And, before you know it, the holidays come and go with someone close to you making the personal decision to end life in human form.

how and when it's all going to be over.

I genuinely don’t think it’s really our choice to make. I could be wrong of course. In the Bible, a few people chose suicide. King Saul fell on his own sword to prevent the enemy from taking him alive.

There isn’t a Bible verse condemning those to hell for taking their own life. Though, thou shalt not kill, comes to mind as being one of God’s Commands. And, self-killing falls under that heading, wouldn’t you agree?

the meaning of life.

Ah, the elusive meaning of life. In simplest terms, it’s as I mentioned, serving others for the greater good.

how insignificant a single human life is in the grand scheme of the universe

ARE YOU SERIOUS? Well, actually you’re right. God says we’re but like a grain of sand…Can you imagine…a single grain of sand…And, too, we’re like a blade of grass, here today, gone tomorrow.

focus on this rather than everything they're doing wonderfully.

Yes, turning inward in false judging of self is like a dagger to the spirit.

every conversation with someone who just can't understand

Most people can’t understand their own life; so, don’t be too hard on the someones.

The universe and life are infinite, we aren't.

WE ARE ETERNAL BEINGS. Once we leave this physical form, we become spiritual energies. One of my favorite Bible verses: ABSENT FROM THE BODY, PRESENT WITH THE Lord. (2 Corinthians 5:8)

hardwired to deny and struggle against our inevitable end with all of our might, all of our resources, and all of our ingenuity.

Yes…resources…But, truth be told I believe we have an entry and exit time we enter human form. Some are here for just a few hours, as they die before the leave the hospital. Some teens have dropped dead of a heart attack. And, some are tasked with the daunting task of becoming centenarians. They are the real warriors, if you know what I mean. (Jeremiah 1:5)

decision, while confusing to most, still must be respected.

Absolutely, it’s not for anyone but God to judge. I’m with you on that one.

robs us of fulfilled living.
conning (or forcing) someone into spending precious moments of their life on something that isn't the maximizing of their human potential is no different from murdering them right on the spot.

Well sorta’. I agree I think it’s the worst thing a parent can do is make their children live the life they wish they would have. Perhaps, the greatest pushback in this regard is ‘rebellion’ and following the preordained spirit within.

ever dreamed of achieving and experiencing, is the real suicide we all fear.

Yes, sometimes people lack the courage to live their highest life out of fear. It’s no slight against them; more empathy. That’s why I end with this…

Life is tough; and, only the strong survive.

For the race is not given to the swift; but, to those who endure to the end. (Ecclesiastes 9:11)

Lastly, here's my take on why I don't believe suicide is the best option:
