a death note to myself
A permanent solution to a temporary problem - that is what the wise and good people state to help. The way they make suicide look like a decision based on cowardice is remarkable, when in the end it is a clear statement of one's strength - At least mine. I cannot speak for all those others.

For all those others that take sleeping pills to attract attention.

For those that wait on the roof of a skyscraper until someone notices them to call the cops.

I can only speak for myself, and my decision is not based on weakness but on absolute power. Hamlet said it, schopenhauer, Nuetzsche, Camus and Sartre considered the question.

It is not based on weakness but on a free will, the loberty to contemplate the unthinkable. It is a question only the strongest can face.

They say it is easy to escape life but hard to go on with it. What fools. How mant people can hold a gun to their head and pull the trigger?

How many can cut a knife into their arms to pierce arteries and veins?

How many can make the little step off a skyscraper?

How many can swallow the cyanide pill?

Small movements, a jerk of an index finger, a cut, a step, a swallow.

How many think they can do that but have to face thir weakness on the doorsteps of a mysterious, scaring new existence?

How many have the mental strength to deal with such a decsion?

How many can question their lives?

How many can face the fact that all they have one is useless and that there is no use apart from procreation - and what kind of a goal is that? Fucking, as the meaning of life. A goal for rabbits, for sheep, not for humans. And yet it is good enough for most.

To wait, to wait for something to come, to save them, something that does not exist, something that does not com. And so they keep on giving birth while standing on their graves, waiting like sheep.

How many can ask those questions?

How many can draw the consequences?

Those mentioned philosophers did not. None of them did agree to it in the end. None of them. Because suicide is wrong? Because as Nietzsche stated, the philosopher has to live his thoughts and hence set an example in dying. None of them were strong enough to do that. whimps. Intellectual wankers, smart asses, suckers. Unworthy to have been read by me.

It is easy to live, to go on with it, to stand the treatmill. All you have to do is switch off your brains, not think, do what you are told and expected to and you will get old. there is nothing easier than living. Man is built to endure pain. He can easily bear the whips and chorns of thime as long as he doesn;t question them. and as long as he is not confident enough to wonder whether it is worth suffering . All it takes is to stick to the routine. There is nothing simpler than that.

Yeah, sure they will find reasons when they dig in my past. They will say:

He could not stand the pressure his profession had put on him, he had always suffered from depression, he was suffering from a broken heart when his girlfriend left him. He could not stand loneliness, unrequited love of all sorts. He was too sensitive.

Those would be ther words.

Bullshit.

And they will be feigning sympathy and compassion, they will lookat the art, the literature and state how great it was, what a loss it is, what a great future lay ahead of him.

The sympathy of the deaf, dumb and blind, the braindead, the sympathy of the hens in the battery.

This is not the reasopn.

Sure, i am bleeding all over the place, sure I am suffering from pressure, sure I have always been depressed, sure all of this is true. Butit is not the reason. I am not doing this out of pain. this a dexision based on positivity. Lust for life. But not that stale and dull life. Real ife, genuine emotions.

To shake off this mortal coil,

To step up to the Godsand to spit in thir faces,

To make the final dexision, the only one that cannot be undone.

Knowing that it might be a terrible mistake, a Faustian misk=take, a bargain with the devil.

A voluntary step into something unknown.

Emptyness?

Heaven?

Hell?

Suixisw ia not based on weakness, it is based on absolue power - at least in my case.

Imagine:

To stand on top of the highest cliff.

To feel the wind tearing at my clothes, the elements.

The only truth left in a world of lies and hypocrisy.

The beauty of the abyss.

The anticipation, like anticipating the greatest sex, an existentail foreplay. looking down into oblivion and woidness.

The ground far, far, away as it seems from here, but in reality only a couple of seconds away.

Standing there.

Feeling eternity in a restricted world.

Feeling a dexision in a prefabricated existence.

To draw the final breath,

To make that little step,

To know, that for once a decision was made,

To feel one foot above the abyss,

To think for a split second you can float in the air like the cartoon characters on TV.

To feel losing balance,

To fall,

To gain speed,

To have the air tear at your hair and clothes,

To feel the cold wind violently caress you,

To see the ground coming closer,

To scream in orgiastic excitment,

To know what you have done,

To know what you have done someting for once.

Maybe even: to doubt,

To regret,

To wish yourself back to the top of the pea that you are pacing away from.

Mercilessly.

To flay into annihilation,

To see the truth, whether it is a beautiful or an unbearable truth for the fraction of a second only.

Those 10 seconds would be - must be - will bemuch more revealing than 10 years of most other people,

Than the whole life of most other pople. more true.essentail, focused, divine.

Purer. 70 years forced into seconds. Refined into pure knowledge and truth.

Those 10 seconds would be - must be - will be worth a lifetime.

A worthy payment for endless agony.

No more endlessm unbearable pain.

No more routine.

No more reoetition.

No more

-- peace.

To sleep, perchance to dream.

To give in to the tiredness.

To fall alseep

To find solace.

No more agony.

To end.

The End
