What makes a man...?

In bend Oregon, fairly close to where I live, a teenager apparently stabbed himself to death during an open mic night at a local coffee house.Citation

It really makes me wonder what this man's thought process was like. Killing ones self is, in itself, an act that requires deep emotion disturbance in the mind of the 'victim.' The fact that he chose to do it in a theatrical, straight-out-of-a-horror-movie way makes the act that much more surreal.

Seeing as how people generally dislike pain and suffering, usual acts of suicide attempt to avoid this stimulus. Stabbing is a painful way to die, something the public doesn't see often; making this suicide all the more disturbing.

Not sure if this story is overly relevant to the blog, but it caught my eye. It's now a post, regardless.
