Well aren't you a bundle of joy, recommending death to people in bad situations.
A life of misery isn't all that bad. Much worse could happen.
This reminds me of A Man For All Seasons:
Thomas More: "At the worst we could be beggars and still be keep company and be merry together."
Lady Alice: "Aha, merry."
Thomas More: "Aye, merry!"
