Re: Suicide Rising
No surprise. People want out of this nasty, hellish world of ours. Even if that means oblivion...

Re: Suicide Rising
Doesn't victim-shame you, doesn't attack you, doesn't violate you in so many ways over and over, only for you to face a lifetime of disbelief and scorn and judgment and blame... meh.

Re: Suicide Rising
Oblivion is also a place, where nobody loves you, noone can take you into their arms or have kind words for you and where you can't do a single thing that brings you joy and wonder.

Re: Suicide Rising
There is that too. It's a two-edged sword. One could also spin-doctor oblivion to be a perfect world.

Re: Suicide Rising
But oblivion is also complete equality. From the worst murderer and tyrant to the purest saint and hero. Kind of reminds me of that line from Gargoyles.
"On the contrary, death is the ultimate fairness. Rich and poor, young and old, all are equal in death."
