   No. It does take courage to commit suicide. Perhaps also a quality
of not caring about anyone else very much. For everyone ( excuse me.
Everyone I know. ) has friends, people who would be hurt ( some a
lot, some much less. ) if (s)he killed (her)himself. 
   Fear is perhaps not even such an important part. Not caring about
people, not caring about ( or, more importantly, for ) yourself, or
what the world has to offer would seem to be much more important in
any such decision. 
   Finally, it is just as reasonable to hope for a better life "next
time around" as it is to think that nothing lies beyond death. To my
knowledge, no evidence is around to support either claim.
   Unfortunately.
