Quoted By:
Sadly, it’s human nature. “One by one they shuffled back towards the door with that strange inner sense of satisfaction that may always be observed at moments of sudden misfortune, even among people who are as close as can be, and there is not one person, without exception, who is free of it, notwithstanding even the sincerest feelings of pity and sympathy.” Its not my intention to make you any more depressed than necessary anon and obviously I dont know your story, but consider your friends possible persepective: “If he doesn’t place value on his life, why should I?” He wasnt conscious of this but humans act on perspective-whether its conscious or not, as I’m sure you’re probably aware. Moral judgements we attach to circumstances in life are almost always illusions. We say to ourselves: “this is good and this is bad,” and the answers we give ourselves end up completely out of context because the question itself is out of context. I wish the best for you anon, I dont know you but I hope you believe it. If the time ever comes when you have to ask yourself that question again, I hope you justify the answer with acceptance of life, rather than with judgements.
