    Prove suicide is a product of illness…I say it’s a product of a broken society and its lies.

    What makes one want to stay here? The answer is subjective and I posit that people can’t handle being slaves and yes, you are a slave.

    This begs the question, is suicide the result of a sickness or is the sickness learning to be a happy slave? I say it’s the latter…
