Why do people say that suicide is the easy way out?

Is suicide really easy?
I'm not advocating suicide for anyone, but I've been hearing this phrase over and over and it just does not make logical sense to me.
Suicide is hard. The body wants to live, despite what the mind or soul feels.
Keep in mind if you end your life, you are facing the finality of it all. There is no going back, no do-overs unless you are hindu. ;)
For many Judeo-Christians, suicide is seen as the ultimate sin. There is no coming back and no forgiveness from G-d. Those who end their lives are pretty much doomed to hell, if they subscribe to these beliefs... how is that easy, or the cowards way out?
Just about everyone has friends and family, or at least acquanitences who will be effected by their passing, especially of their own volition. These people will be hurt and will wonder what they could have done. So essentially those who take "the easy way out" know they are hurting others.
How is it the easy way out, or the cowardly way? It seems to me that it would take a lot of courage to face your mortality, the afterlife, and the effects you would have on others.
What do you think?

In my opinion sucide is not easy way to left out from leaving the world, family member, friends etc. but one thing is true, they are afraid to live in the present, they think they cannt do anything so they are going to sucide.

hello there i do not think it is the easy way out
last week i taken a load of pills and was found and taken to hosp.
i did not want to die i just could not see any other way i still can not.
i lost ever thing in my life and that as made me feel so low.
i not got any where to live i am living here there and ever where.
i have no job i been looking but not found any thing so i have no money to rent any where.
i have people ring me up for money i owe them but they do not understand if i got no job and no money how can i pay them.
it just all getting to much for me i can not see a ligth at the end.
i was i could i ask for help but no one want to help.
so the only way out is to end it.
i no people that have do it and i use to think why but i no now when you get this low and you try ever thing you can and all you do gose wrong it just make you go lower and lower so now i no why they done it.
i wish there was some way i could make my life a lot better but in these days there is not.
i no i hurt people a round me but i no they will get over it and in time they will be better of with out me in there life i have not let to give.
ever day i wake up and feel so low that i have and i just think it is another day that i after to go on looking like i am ok but deep down i just wish that my heart would stop so i can be free from all the pain i feel.
i no there a lot of people out there that feel the same way as me.
but at the end of the day it hard to take your life.
not matter what i seat here and think of the these i miss out of but then i just think i be out of it all no one can ask me for any thing if i not here i would not have to try and find some where to stay the next night.
i do not no how much longer i can go on for but i do no this it is not much longer.
i hope and pray no one get where i am because when your here there is no way back.
