Perfect ending to a perfect life...

Yeah from your point of view I totally understand and I totally can agree. However from the point of view of a person who did not kill themselves when things got bad, after things kept getting worse and worse, my insistence that things can always "get worse" is based off of the fundamental fact that you have to choose a point at which you will decide that you will no longer subject yourself to the pain that is living. In other words- everything that you interpreted from my response was based off of your own subjective values. Personally, I think I should have killed myself before things got as bad as they've gotten for me, but I said it in a subjective enough way that everybody can instill their own values into it. To summarize my summary, if you read what I said is in you should keep yourself alive then you should definitely keep yourself alive. However, I personally wrote it from the standpoint of do it before you regret not doing it. It loses a lot of its mystery when I have to explain it.
