The more I consider these cases, the more I feel compassion for those who commit suicide. It is not the thing to do, of course, but there are always mitigating circumstances. I have come to the insight that when a person is convinced they are in a reality that can never change, it is the temporal equivalent of solitary confinement. It is psychologically intolerable.

Just think about it for a while. It is easy to see how anguished and frantic a person can be if they are convinced their situation will never change. Ending it is the only degree of freedom left available. Anyway, for what it may be worth...
