"The thought of suicide is a great consolation: by means of it one gets through many a dark night." Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil "Not to be born at all Is best, far best that can befall, Next best, when born, with least delay To trace the backward way. For when youth passes with its giddy train, Troubles on troubles follow, toils on toils, Pain, pain forever pain; And none escapes life's coils. Envy, sedition, strife, Carnage and war, make up the tale of life." Sophocles, Oedipus at Colonus Nonetheless, I sense a certain bias in the living for their existence. Probably an evolutionary advantage over the dead.
