Physical suicide as a consequence of intellectual suicide.
The step from intellectual suicide to physical suicide ranges from “short” to “steeped in second thoughts.” These fluctuations in hope have common exogenous causes that are inherent in a disconnected pattern of living.
“I understood that the more disconnected I was, the more fragile I was. The more fragile I was, the more I struggled to deal with daily problems. The more I struggled, the more I pondered my end.”
Disconnections from reality are encouraged by conformity and intellectual laziness. Along the path of their life, the individual will be faced with two different images of themselves: the one that answers the question, “Who am I?” and the one that answers the question, “Who would I like to be?”
How will they react by realizing that those two images are increasingly distant and irreconcilable?
