Re: What about the "will to die’?

by Peter on March 2, 2010

Kate,
Will to live… will to die… fear of life and death… fear of being
(depression), fear of non-being (anxiety). Just ruminating. [hehe]
But they all seem inevitable apects of being humun. Even suicidal
thoughts… And suicide itself. And love. And joy. And boredom. And the
desire to escape one’s suffering.
