You are right, you know.

Sagacious says,

Every cell in the body wants to live. Why do we have pain-receptors? So they can tell the brain that you've accidentally put your hand on that hot-plate and to pull it away. The person suffering from depression isn't just in pain, their pain never ends and they view death's perceived peacefulness as preferable to their interminable suffering.
