Here
i shall go into the depths of the "horrible"
thought of suicide, and try to perhaps... justify
it? In any case, this is what Friederich Nietzsche
offers us on the subject, to get the full essay
on my thoughts concerning suicidy, simply click
the title.
"Physiologists
should think before putting down the instinct
of self-preservation as the cardinal instinct
of an organic being. A living thing seeks about
all to DISCHARGE its strength - life itself is
WILL TO POWER; self-preservation is only one of
the indirect and most frequent RESULTS.
In short, here as everywhere else, let us beware
of SUPERFLUOUS teleological principles - one of
which is the instinct of self-preservation (we
owe it to Spinoza's inconsistency). Thus method,
which must be essentially economy of principles,
demands it."
-Friederich
Nietzsche; Beyond Good and Evil
