I find this intensely interesting. Its not my own original thought so I take no credit but I pass it on. Suicide is, on the whole, a more or less taboo or at the least unsettling topic. However, if you consider and realize that it is an actual physical possibility at any time, and entirely within your power and choice to commit, it opens up a whole new world to the right frame of mind. Now I'm not suggesting it as a solution to any problems, nor am I considering it myself any more than me saying the word "bomb" on a plane means I actually have one. But the concept of suicide makes you realize that every choice in your life is ultimately yours, and every action is ultimately your choice, because at the end of the day you could choose to back out altogether and give up, quit. I find it quite empowering and I think it puts in perspective a life in which many people feel trapped, stuck, imprisoned, forced. In essence, the child throwing a tantrum because he just lost the video game just needs to remember that he can turn off the Nintendo if he's not having fun anymore...
