But I have been thinking more than I usually do. What motivates someone to do this? Should I feel more sorrow? I don't think I am a terrible person, but I just might be.

I feel very sad when I hear of a suicide. There but for the grace of god go many of us. Same with homelessness or a million other things that lead to such despair. It's heartbreaking.
I've thought about this, at length, many times. Shawnee123 has named the core reason, in my opinion. When despair overcomes hope, suicide is the result.
