    You’re right. But if someone I care about is choosing between suicide and explode their relationships, I hope they choose explode their relationships. I’ll be there when they figure out whatever is next. (I know because I have been for someone who did. I’m not delighted with how they handled things, but I’m glad I still have them.)

      Oh I am always in favor of life. Suicide is messy, painful and leaves a lot of people with less in their life.

      It’s just not a solution as much as a new start point searching for something that doesn’t exist and will likely lead you back to having to do it again.

      People can do what they need to or want but I see no comfort for those that follow trying to get a better life. That is why I feel sad seeing people recommending it I guess.
      We don’t find utopia on the other side of tomorrow, just more tomorrows.

          They don’t have to mean the same thing, it’s an expression. And quite a nice one at that.

          Sure. I use words that I find match more to the tone of meaning I intend to convey rather than a 1 to 1 of repeating it for the sake of repeating it.

          Do you have anything to add to this other than that 2 words I used are not identical?
          I’d be interested in your take on reality rather than a pedantic interjection to make it so you feel like you contributed.

          Please share if you have more but I will consider using simpler prose if that’s all you want to add.
