No I mock those who feel self righteous and that they have the ONLY way
It is ABSOLUTISM I mock most especially
I will always mock that- since I think absolutism causes much unhappiness
I am almost positive (although not completely) that mine is not the only way to look that this, and still maintain a postive ethic (positive imo, of course, not positive in any absolute sense)

You will never understand this significant element, I fear
You have been, you are, and you will continue to be confused about this- you should probably just stop trying
since you are boring me and I doubt you are making yourself feel any better
although if it feels good to you
do it

And what do you have against people killing themselves, anyway?
IMO it is a valid choice- more valid, of course, for people I do not like than for people I do- but still, for an adult it is always a choice- it is always there, and I do not think people should not exercise their choices. I do not even think people shouldn't be religious- I just don't like absolutists personally- and find them morally repugnant. I am extremely judgmental- I just realize that my judgments are probably my judgments, and are probably not alligned with a supreme force's judgments. That makes me a lot less likely to want to ENFORCE my judgments.
