True, but the question was " what's wrong with suicide, " not " what's

right with it? " :-).

 

There's nothing right about it either. You're correct.

 

And that could lead to an interesting observation: What's 'wrong'

or 'right' about *anything* ? :-)

 

Love,

 

Tim

The miracle is that in the absence of meaning is " Meaning. "

 

To the mind, the statement " nothing has or lacks meaning " appears

dry, dull and empty... but the actual case upon 'realizing' this is

paradoxically: *Meaning Itself*. Blessings showering everywhere!

 

It was always the attempt to give meaning that seems to " prevent "

or " block " Meaning...

 

Love,

 

Tim

Nothing. In fact, isnt virtue the last thing to go?

 

Love, elaine :)
