On Suicide

it is general causation, which imposes either cowardness or courage to the act of suicide, makes it ever more banal and depriving. If one existence can be dignified by a couple of snapshots, as only the result counts by not the process, no wonder life is brutual and abusive.

Henceforth, the last resort to "moral feeling" is itself a fallacy. Once we decide to judge so not to be knocked down, not to be denounced by any ideological pressure, say it relativism or extremism, we also forfeit the possible price we can gain by endurance for more possibilities.

life is death-deferred, in exchange for more possibilities, so as to looking for an indisputable answer to death.
