Thanks for this, I appreciate Seneca's words on the topic. I'm really late to the party here—it's been a difficult few daysweeks months—but I always appreciated Don Marquis' take on it, too.
For context, this is said as someone who considers suicide favorably (with caveats, granted) and wonders why people are so hostile to it. (I haven't taken that way out myself—despite much longing and several "close calls" in the past—as I've by now made promises that forbid it and I don't want the karma of a promise-breaker. As an aside, I've always wondered if I look forward to death because my natal eighth house [the house of death and legacies]—both astrologically and geomantically—is easily my strongest house by a vast margin, the only remote contender being my ninth house [the house of spirituality], and my natal earthly houses [dealing with practical, day-to-day affairs] all being quite difficult. Still, "good things come to those who wait.")
