So, based on what you've been saying, its almost as if you are trying to suggest that we are just characters in some story or something.
At least, thats one way I look at it. Other than that, Im not quite sure what youre talking about, but I do very much want to know.

That was actually very close . Why? Why should I! If you really wanna know you'll find out! Does it bother you that I don't tell you exactly what it is? Also, you'll learn more if you can find out yourself by a little unbiased research and some effort. If I told you, not only would it be unbelievable and confusing, it would actually impede your desire to know, since it will be so crazy you will leave this info with the rest of "diluted ideas", wherever you leave those
There is a good reason why they don't teach nuclear physics in 1st grade also. You get there step by step, with your DESIRE to learn them, not telling the teacher "ok fine I know I barely know my algebra, but just tell me the damn nuclear physics thing already, it's annoying how you won't tell me anything!". The teacher won't exactly know how to tell you either.

Did you know that more people committ suicide not when they are the most depressed but when they are starting to feel better. it takes a lot of energy and planning to be successful in completeing the act itself. Most people do not do it on a whem they may have had thoughts for a long time, but did not have the energy, or things in order before they let go.

quite true. when you're deeply depressed, getting out of bed is out of the question, let alone orchestrating a suicide. although I think the aim of this thread is more about "suicides of passion" rather than suicides out of depression.
one more thing: if you've never been suicidal, do consider not judging those who have died. cancer survivors don't think those who succumbed are "weak", and same for most of those who come through a suicidal episode. as with most illnesses, it's a case of "I know what it was like to be there, and it could have easily been me".
I must really be crazy! Or am I?

Well.. uh.. guessing is fine and stuff as long as you don't "make up your mind" on your own guess. That could be dangerous
Besides, the stuff happening now speaks for itself, and people at this site are pretty good at covering the current news and questioning everything and everyone. Vigilance is not something many people in the world have. Instead, it seems to be passive ignorance. But such is their choice! If you play in the dirt, you'll get dirty.
Though what's happening here on Earth now is more like a spiralling quicksand. The farther we sink the more we panic, and the faster we sink. The events are now escalating and will continue to do so, as we near the center or the spiral. And then... stuff
But then again, I think anyone you asks kinda knows that by now. Or at least has a feeling. Things aren't "calm" or normal in the world right now. It's all outta whack! How fun!
