re in such a different state of being, from the original, that the pursuit of happiness and well being can no longer be achieved. I disagree with this point because I believe that there is always another alternative to suicide, no matter the state of mind. The alternative is the misery, which we call life. Life is worth every second. I’ve had plenty of so called “misery,” and at times I’ve seen myself in the phases Hume describes, but I would not consider ending the miserable times by ending the totality. Superstition and falsity in religion are flaws of the human mind, which like actions are codependent upon everything else. In essence God is a superstition and not proven to exist, but the “superstition” that God does exist plays a very large role in many lives and consequently changes the directions and actions of lives, which in many cases consequently leads to a life free of the traits Hume describes as being the path to suicide. In regard to the quote in the first paragraph, “I believe that no man ever threw away life…,” I believe that every life is worth living, vile or pure, because if the life is not worth living, then why was given life at all?...
