I'm going to end my life at the end of the month. What book should I read before then? I haven't read a book since elementary school. I was thinking something by Aristotle.

>> No.11614777

Why end your life at the end of the month when you may as well end it now? What's the point if it will all end in oblivion soon anyway?

If you have something to live for this month, then why not keep going?

*concludes your life*
Who knows, maybe Jacob "losing" Joseph to ""boars"" and lamenting the """injustices""" of God an Eliezer's consolations will make you feel differently. Then again maybe not and you just get to experience a powerful story. Both are rewarding in themselves imo

Exactly
If you're waiting till the end of the month, you ought to have a reason to. If you have a reason to wait till then, you can at least acknowledge that there can be an even better reason to keep you going.

If you don't find a better reason however, I reckon in these last few days you should whatever you want (no matter how niche it sounds). It can be serial rape and murder, if you aren't a psychopath, you might get a shiver and several panic attacks while planning it but why would you care of the damage they'd cause to your body if you're ending it soon anyway.

While you are on this rampage, because you can't risk getting caught by the police and being sent to prison for years, keep a gun on you. Shoot yourself if/when you're on the verge of getting caught and you'll truly be free and without fear in the last few days of your life and die knowing you were of some consequence in getting back at the world that propelled you to suicide.

Don't kid yourself, we're only getting started.

If I felt suicidal but didn't actually want to die, what should I read to A) bring the good feels and reaffirm me that life is worth living for, or B) make me actually feel like killing myself for real?

OP is too much of a bitch to kill himself (and if he wanted to prove us wrong / be a bro he'd at least set a date and do it on cam)

I close my eyes. Only for a moment, and the moment's gone.
All my dreams. Pass before my eyes; a curiosity.
Dust in the wind. All they are is dust in the wind.
