Yeah, I mean bad by comparison. The point is that no human wants to jump out a window, ever.
It’s also worth pointing out that depression can warp your sense of reality and make you believe you’re in a burning building when you’re not, so to speak.
I love your quote and it likely inspired my comment subconsciously
This is dark, but it’s interesting to me that the people who jump from a burning building and the people who end themselves on their own time are performing the same calculus.
Nobody wants to die, but when your life starts to look like a burning building, sometimes the window doesn’t seem so bad.
The problems pile up until the person feels they are insurmountable, permanent. It consumes their entire existence.
In their eyes it’s a fair trade: permanent solution to a permanent problem.
The trick is convincing them the issue is temporary, which basically amounts to solving the underlying problems.
