What is a concept, idea, or thought that you just cannot understand?

Along with the death theme, I honestly don't know why someone would want to take their own life. I'm sorry if it sounds insensitive, and I realize death is actually a viable option when faced with extreme pain. But in many situations, suicide is a result of social pressures and struggles, more specifically, something that can be fixed. You only have one life, there is no evidence of an after life, why not try to turn things around and make the best of it? There is so much to live for, even if you don't realize it.

My Dad and I were talking about 1984 and I remember many instances where people committed suicide to avoid extreme torture. If you are absolutely sure the ensuing pain is inevitable and unbearable I understand why you would kill yourself. But in many cases, the problem is something social or mental, which can be treated. I guess I cannot judge when I have not felt the emotional or mental pain that they feel, but from my point of view, I just can't understand why anyone would commit suicide.
 
I dunno if I'm strange, but death is fine, and I don't really worry myself about what happens after (I'd like to believe that this life isn't it, after that nothing, more a reincarnation or replay of sorts... Like reruns of Frasier)

I suppose I can never understand the concept of long complex computer stuff, all of the algorithms. I just can't get why it does millions of processes so quickly...
