I'm definitely going to make the time to read this sometime soon as well.

The man gave his life for what he said and believed, reading it is the least the rest of us can do.

Whether it justifies what he did, remains to be seen.

As I said I haven't read it yet, but if this is a direct quote or is the message he was conveying, then personally I have a problem. Because if Death is equally as important as Life, then both should be valued. I.e., Live for as long as possible, but never forget to die.

By taking your life by your own hand, or by in fact, conciously setting into motion a chain of events where the only intended purpose and the only intended effect is to lead to your Death, you are in fact favouring Death over Life.

His Death had no purpose. Who lives in his place, now? Where is the rest of the impact this Man would have made? And what's it defiled for, nullified for? How did he progress the World, how many lives did he save by that act alone.

None, cos he shot himself in a tower.

I don't mean to judge or assume too hastily, because I haven't read it yet. I'm trying to envision a scenario where the best thing to do is to write a Bible on life and then abandon it. Surely, if there were any Truth in this suicide note, other than woe is me the Truth is there is no Truth or some other pseudo-philosophical ***got bull****, if there's any real substance, anything USEFUL, then he'd have stuck around to make use of it.
