Evelyn McHale - Original Suicide Girl
Photo by Robert Wiles
An old friend once opined that if he stopped believing in God, he may as well off himself ASAP. My reply was admittedly rather weak, I could not think of any reasons to go on living that were not completely subjective, and who was I to tell him that life is worthwhile? In the end, I fell back on the argument that he had no idea what lay in his future and that it might not be rational to attempt a forecast based on only a couple decades of data.
Cold rationality aside, perhaps the beauty of living is in the mind of beholder.
