I had a teacher who lost his wife & son. He phrased suicide as walking out of a movie early when the film is at its lowest point. You never know if it worked out & it is worth sticking around to see where the plot goes because you already invested time into it. Plus you don't get to pick another film if you leave.

Looking at your life as something to kind of amuse you makes the darker points easier at least for me, & I take time to find the brighter points in the mundane.

Tomorrow is a known unknown but death is unknown unknown.

Consider someone in pain/depressed for a long period of time. Everyday, it’s the same. Maybe tomorrow will be different but looking back , it’s unlikely. Looking back a year ago, it’s the same. 2 years ago, it’s the same. Sure tomorrow is unknown but its kinda lesser form of unknown. Like infinity. There’s a different infinity(in maths). Which is more likely, you having the same economic situation tomorrow or you going to be a billionaire?

Death on the other hand, it’s the unknown, it’s different, and possibly the end of suffering. I don’t advocate for suicide and don’t agree with it but I see the appeal.

Well no. I mean this quote is true for some but not all or even most people.

Well I could say that sometime you don't need to die to be dead, sometime the idea of not feeling anything it's better of the idea of suffering, of course it is bad, but every problem has a solution and often the solution it is to accept that we are just suffering because we are humans because we value things differently and we feel emotions and circumstances based on our traumas and experiences, if you feel stuck in any part of your life seek help from a therapist cause no one is suffering alone we are just telling ourselves that we are alone
