I've been thinking lately about the idea that suicide is kind of like giving birth.
Why? Because our mothers have suffered to give us life, so in a sense it is logical that dying involves suffering.
Obviously this idea has no logical basis: we all want to die without suffering, maybe without even realizing it.
But for those who decide to take their own lives, it can be a positive thought, in a certain sense; "my mother suffered to give birth, I have to suffer to die."
It's sort of a "tax" to pay to go from state to state, or some sort of test, if you want.
I don't know if I could explain myself, it's just an idea that's been buzzing in my head for a few days.
