Unconscious Oblivion

[humble soul]

Dont worry. Im just thinking allowed.
When life gets tough, do you ever think that unconscious oblivion would be a better option than life?
Sorry this is a dark murky topic. If triggered, please watch Friends repeats with Lisa Kudrow as the main storyline.
See thats the problem with suicide. Apart from breaking Christian protocol, there is also no guarantee that you are heading towards unconscious oblivion. You could be waking up to a very real Hell. A North Korean Hell for example.
Once I worked with a young guy who was disabled with a brain injury. He had tried to hang himself. Now his 70 year old mother became his main carer. She was desperately unhappy. And I suspect the young man has some memory of his previous life. What a sad story.
Anyway what i might be getting at is consciousness. Thinking. Thinking is what we want to escape. Not life.
oh sorry i shouldnt say "we".

Its why I used to drink.
I needed to escape the frayed nerves, the endless chatter, (the monkey mind as Buddhists say), the high anxiety, the fear of tomorrow.

What makes you think you have the right to end someone else's life, or judge whether that life is worth living?

A key aspect of the OT law was/is its respect for and value of the unimportant widows, orphans, aliens. Those who society did not value were to be protected.

Nothing has changed.
