Well it is both really, it is selfish that they leave there family, friends and partner if they had one that loved them behind and it is tragic to the point of what caused them to do such a thing; why did no one pick up on it and help them. Those taking their own life seem to forget about the people they are leaving behind and who care for them which creates more damage than they know. At the same time there only so far one can go; some can carry on more than others. This is something many will either side with one or the other while a small group will see it as both tragic and selfish.
