What kind of hakaras hatov do you expect the suicide VICTIM to have from his community?
His community obviously abandoned him, saw him on the downslide but willingly chose to do nothing, and made him feel like an oismentch. Where does hakaras hatov come in??
People who realize that in the eys of their community they are of no greater worth than a cockroach slated for extermination, don’t feel very good. This is why when I read stories of frum suicides, overdoses, and frum teen criminals, I get furious at their communities THAT ALLOWED AND ACTIVELY ENCOURAGED SUCH A TRAGEDY TO HAPPEN.
The community is ‘oiver’ on murder, not the suicide victim being ‘oiver’ on suicide. For every one finger pointing at the victim, four fingers point back at the community.
