…further to my post above:
I do not know how many on here share my experience, which I have had since childhood. I always felt that we have been before, and we shall be after this life is over. Looking at the sky, contemplating infinity and eternity, it seemed to me impossible that a human’s life can be restricted to just a few decades, when insentient (at least compared to the human level) planets and stars last for billions of years.
So suicide cannot solve any problem, we shall be just the same, only in a worse or better condition depending on our actions here now. This has been my bulwark, my protection against even the contemplation of suicide.
