rather than the point of the story - that the brother decided to do a good thing and give tips to waiters/waitresses as a remembrance to his brother. Giving, sharing - that's a great thing to do. Why re-focus the story on the suicide? My guess, just an opinion, is that some don't wish to talk about good deeds and the related topic of paying wait staff fairly.

That's what this is about.
