There's this old 70s movie "The End" with Burt Reynolds that I caught on cable not long ago .. It's a dark comedy about a guy who at first wants to commit sui, and a movie that could probably never get funded today even though it's certainly not pro-sui and actually opens up some good dialogue. What struck me about it though was how differently the information was received when he told friends he was thinking about it .. without condemnation, or even misgivings about his sanity. Today's climate around that topic is so highly charged that I can hardly think of a friend in my own life right now that I could talk to about having experienced even the most non-essential ideation, for fear of them never looking at me the same way.

So yeah, I don't understand those people either, because whatever laws are in place at any given time I just don't see what good can come of being unempathetic to a thought pattern that is as common as ideation. With so many more ways to communicate these days it seems strange that it's even harder to do so, but I'm of the opinion that it is.

I wish you soon solace.
