The people I know who killed themselves were rather self-centered, IMHO. Not to generalize to everyone else who killed themselves, please don't think I am that arrogant.

But they weren't really self-transcendent, in the way you are when you say, "the sunrise is worth it." Or the sunset, or the moonrise . . .

Or maybe they were just going through a bad phase. I still don't believe David was self-transcendent. I miss him the worst. He was kind of like a father/big brother - he taught philosophy at L.S.U. and didn't get tenure because he was gay and wrote love poems to beautiful boys who complained, I guess, not being gay? Or maybe the others complained. Who knows. It's Baton Rouge, for goodness' sake, who ever heard of an uncloseted gay professor with tenure in a place like Baton Rouge?
