No doubt about it, we humans do some strange things. Things no other animals do.
You know what's interesting? Suicide. There are over 1 millions suicide a year and many more attempts. That's about one every 30 seconds. But the time you read till here, another guy have bite the big one. I said guys because more guys die in suicide than woman, although the woman attempt more. We are better at it. If girls want to talk about equal abilities, more woman have to die in suicide. The rates are rising, it's a fact, check it out yourself: [Link]
And we are the only creature to do than. Have you seen any animals jumping off down a building? Or lying down in front of a train? Or hanging itself from a roof? No. Only human.
And if it's not enough than we kill yourself, we kill other animals too. Not for food. But for fun. That's what hunters do nowadays. The thought of hunting for fun would never occurs to a tiger or a lion. Hunting is hard work.
And if's not enough than we kill other animals, we kill other people too. Murder. Now that's a human concept. As society progresses, murder is considered bad manners, so we change it to assassination. A new name.
And when we do it in huge numbers, we call it genocide. Happens more often than you think.
And when both side kill each others in huge numbers, we call it war. Oh yeah.
Now if you combine killing yourself with killing other people, why you are a probably a suicide bomber.
Suicide bombers. Now that's a strange concept. I mean what's your excuse? "Because God tells me to"?
Religion. The big one. We can convince ourselves that there is a man (clearly a man because only a man can be so egoistic) in the sky who sees all and hears all, and spend his time listening to all our problems and from time to time fixes them.
Now, the man has a list of ten things we cannot do and if we did any of them, we will go to a place of flames and fire and torture and pain and suffering and damnation for ever and ever and ever.
And you know what, the man loves us. Oh yeah.

Perhaps your sentiments seem to parallel this. http://www.realtruth.org/articles/517-ssc.htmlGo take a look
Actually, humans are not the only ones to do some of those things. Chimpanzees have been known to commit suicide or kill each other out of anger. However, I think they're the only other species that we know of that does those things. There's is some evidence that dolphins and whales seem to intentionally beach themselves, but we do not know if they are really trying to commit suicide. Chimps definitely do, because people have observed them refusing food for days due to something that made them depressed.
Additionally, it is well documented that tarsier monkeys in captivity are prone to commit suicide. Some just bash their heads in against something.
