Just had a shower and a few thoughts. I'm sad Novelist Martin Amis died of cancer and not his own hand. His attitude toward suicide was practical and refreshing imo (death booths for the elderly). And North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has issued a secret order defining suicide as an “act of treason" ! - Upgoat

Suicide an act of treason... punishable by death? But knowing North Korea, it might mean punishable by death to the entire family.

Me ne frego.

"The proud Black-Shirt motto ‘I don’t care’ written on the bandages that cover a wound isn’t just an act of stoic philosophy or the summary of a political doctrine. It’s an education to fighting, and the acceptance of the risks it implies. It’s a new Italian lifestyle. This is how the Fascist welcomes and loves life, while rejecting and regarding suicide as an act of cowardice; this is how the Fascist understands life as duty, exaltation, conquest. A life that must be lived highly and fully, both for oneself but especially for others, near and far, present and future." - Benito Mussolini

Thanks Joe.Interesting. Support for my point about uncaring Government.Being regarded as a coward by Benito Mussolini, the Catholic Church et al is of no consequence to me, at least.
