My brother committed suicide many years ago. He was cremated, with his ashes now buried in the ground
As a child, he loved life, and lived life, to the fullest
He had every intention of experiencing all the joys of living
During early adulthood, he was stricken with severe schizophrenia
The emotional suffering he endured became unbearable
After many months of excruciating, agonizing pain…
And trying, and hoping, and self-deluding…
He became hopelessly depressed, knowing his pain would never end…
And he committed suicide
To you who say “he had the free will to choose not to end his life”…
The belief in ‘free will’ is mankind’s most destructive flaw
If the concept of ‘free will’ is absurd, so is the concept of ‘God’
Joy is Purpose
