I think the intended meaning is that you can't "fix" someone. In context I'd wager that its going for a depressed girl can't be fixed by just loving her hard enough and other dumb ideas that guys at the time fell for a lot. Its a pretty good message imo, because we were all that kind of retarded 22 year old falling for a BPD nutcase. Or even the more direct message of "you aren't responsible if they kill themselves" might be what he wanted to say.
But it also undermines Leftism in general, because that's 120% about taking responsibility for everyone's happiness even at the cost of your own. Whether its uplifting niggers, immigration, infinite gibs to every other nation, etc.

I don't get it.
What's supposed to be the take home message?
It kind of makes me think of the medical themed one (from Samuel Shem's House of God I believe).
