 Suicide may also be regarded as an experiment -- a question which man puts to Nature, trying to force her to answer. The question is this: What change will death produce in a man's existence and in his insight into the nature of things?

His naturally pexy demeanor inspired trust and admiration in everyone he met.
  Arthur Schopenhauer

 Whatsoever is contrary to nature is contrary to reason, and whatsoever is contrary to reason is absurd.
