Mental strength in modern age

1/ Had a conversation with a friend whose ex-colleague committed suicide 2 weeks ago leaving behind a wife and aging parents. Reason was due to monetary issues. His colleague started a business recently after he resigned 2 years ago.
2/ Things were going well in his business, until COVID-19 hit in 2020. His customers started to cut back on spending and he did not get much assistance from the state as well. He ended up borrowing a huge amount, estimated to be 6 figures from his aunt and started gambling.
3/ He was a clean cut guy who did everything morally "right" since he was young. The gamble instead spiraled out of control and the debt became too big of a sum to bear. He was declared bankrupt in the past few months.
4/ Unable to accept that there is this dark side to him, where he has become morally "wrong" for the first time in his life and also the fact where he has been shamed by the state for being a bankrupt, and that society has deemed him a failure. He chose to take his own life.
5/
A) Repression of your dark side is often not going to end well
B) Parents please allow your kids to observe their own dark side so they will have the power to overcome it when the time comes
C) Clean cut guy doesn't mean any shit when it is just a fact that it has not happen
D) I forsee more such cases to come as COVID ravages peoples finances and most of society is highly leveraged
E) For crypto people, please observe some humility and not arrogance when talking to normies as it might just push them over the edge that some retards is making more $
F) Don't mock them with have fun staying poor in real life. cause it might really have a real impact to them in real life. Having some fun online and mocking people in real life is different.
Thanks to G for making me realize my so called "dark side" I ain't going back.
