I don't know what drives ppl to suicide. When they carry it out life to them must seem pretty dismal.
I say buck it up and take it like a man!
ppl kill themselves over the dumbest things, like this guy here in SLC killed himself because his wife wanted a divorce. wtf?
I think that's an American bias.
Don't forget in some cultures suicide is a way to regain at least some honour that is lost.
I think it's true that people kill themselves over stupid reasons, but I'm not gonna sit here and say that it's wrong or that the "suiciders" are going to hell.
The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.

"There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. Some kind of high powered
mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live,
and too rare to die."

hallucinations were down to a tolerable level. The room service waiter
had a vaguely reptilian cast to his features, but I was no longer
seeing huge pterodactyls lumbering around the corridors in pools of
fresh blood.
The only problem now was a gigantic neon sign outside the window,
blocking our view of the mountains - millions of colored balls running
around a very complicated track, strange symbols & filigree, giving
off a loud hum.
"Look outside," I said.
"Why?"
"There's a big .. . machine in the sky, . . . some kind of electric
snake . . . coming straight at us."
picked up my dog-eared copy of fear and loathing the other night, having realised that i hadn't read it in a long time - and found a strip of blotters inside the cover. sort of glad i didn't lend it to next door's eldest now.
