Since he took the rather bold step of actually ending his own life I would think that his outlook on life was sufficiently bleak to warrant at more empathy than that.

Regardless of if he was clinically depressed or just very unhappy, are both not tragic?

Please re-read his words and decide again if his plight was shallow-hearted.

"...Every time I open the window or the wicker gate

I seem like a dead man

Slowly pushing open the lid of a coffin."

"...I want to stand up more than anyone else

But my legs won’t cooperate

My stomach won’t cooperate

All the bones of my body won’t cooperate

I can only lie flat

In this darkness, sending out

A silent distress signal, again and again

Only to hear, again and again

The echo of desperation."
