Is It Reasonable to Commit Suicide
Question
Hi Michi.
A person who does not believe in religion (for someone who does believe, the discussion is much more complicated) feels that life is too much for him and that it is hard for him to deal with it, and therefore prefers to commit suicide. Is there any logical reason not to do so?
Thank you.
Answer
Not that I know of.

That’s probably very precise, but I didn’t understand a thing. I understood the first question (the imprecise one?) and answered it.
See Albert Camus.
A more precise question: is there no reason for or against ending one’s life in a case where a person is in a positive state in life?
