Everyone Has Good Cause For Suicide, Or

Grief Comes And Goes, But Depression Is Unremitting

Nothing Good Comes Out Of Depression.

Who Would Not Want An Illness That Has Among Its Symptoms Elevated And Expansive Mood, Inflated Self-esteem, Abundance Of Energy, Less Need For Sleep, Intensified Sexuality, And- Most Germane To Our Argument Here-"sharpened And Unusually Creative Thinking" And "increased Productivity"?

I Think That When You're Depressed, You Can't Concentrate Long Enough And Well Enough To Read For The Most Part; Some People Can, But By And Large People - That's One Of The First Things That Goes, Is The Capacity To Read Meaningful Literature. With Grief, That's Not True. For A While You Can't Read, But Then You Really Are Amenable To Solace.

I Am By Temperament An Optimist, And I Thought From The Beginning That There Was Much To Be Written About Suicide That Was Strangely Heartening.
