I look at suicide as a way to wipe the slate clean...or perhaps more accurately, to do away with 'the slate' completely. I don't believe in reincarnation. Thanks for the advice to renounce material things, but after some consideration I think that I much prefer the "crash and burn" approach -- it sounds like more fun despite its brevity."
You're saying you can predict the future, and it will always be this bad? Send me some FL lottery numbers before you go. Seriously, you're looking at this thing from a skewed perspective. I'm not saying don't do it, just recognize that once it is done, all options are gone---you reallly will have finally lost control. That's pretty much just giving in without exploring all the alternatives, and is in reality the loss of all control, you would really be giving in to that which you seem to believe is the least desirable of all situations.
True control can be exerted by living in spite of the obstacles in front of you. Trite, but true. Suicide is truly an act of the out of control, the lost, the aimless. Ironically, these same people often think that they have "figured it all out", when in reality theyy are only looking at one limited perspective.
Seems like suicide would be ultimate powerlessness, yet qanother statistic for the "deadinsaneinjail" crowd to cry about at their meetings. Akin to self-castration, really, a self-induced impotence.
Again, I'm not saying don't do it, just recognize all the implications and repercussions, and explore all other options first. If you do it, you will no longer be capable of or have power over anything.
