“This is not to offer a general recommendation of suicide. Suicide, like death from other causes, makes the lives of those who are bereaved much worse. Rushing into one’s own suicide can have profound negative impact on the lives of those close to one. Although an Epicurean may be committed to not caring about what
happens after his death, it is still the case that the bereaved suffer a harm even if the deceased does not. That suicide harms those who are thereby bereaved is part of the tragedy of coming into existence. We find ourselves in a kind of trap. We have already come into existence. To end our existence causes immense pain to those we love and for whom we care. Potential procreators would do well to consider this trap they lay when they produce offspring.”
David Benatar, Better Never to Have Been: The Harm of Coming into Existence

“Time doesn’t heal anything, it just teaches us how to live with pain.”
Itachi Uchiha - Naruto Shippuuden

Sophocles
“What foolishness it is to desire more life, after one has tasted
A bit of it and seen the world; for each day, after each endless day,
Piles up ever more misery into a mound. As for pleasures: once we
Have passed youth they vanish away, never again to be seen.
Death is the end of all.
Never to be born is the best thing. To have seen the daylight
And be swept instantly back into dark oblivion comes second.”
Sophocles, Oedipus at Colonus

“لم أطلب سوى القليل من الحياة، وحتى ذلك القليل رفضَت الحياة منحي إياه. طلبتُ حزمة من ضوء الشمس، حقلاً، القليل من السكينة مع قليل من الخبز، ألا تثقل علي كثيراً معرفتي بأنني موجود، وألا أطلب من الآخرين شيئاً وألا يطالبونني هم بأي شيء.”
فرناندو بيسوا, The Book of Disquiet: The Complete Edition
