Feel free to commit suicide




"At least 10 killed as California trains derail", and life moves on for you, mister, the one who caused it. Except that you wanted to end your life seconds before you caused it---before you changed your fickle, sick mind. You changed your mind, cried in shame, and then caused some others to die for your lack of commitment. Changing your mind was a good thing, perhaps, for you. But you did not respect atomicity, you allowed yourself to be observed---this disturbed things. Now you shall be tried, because you are responsible. Not, this time, for your choices, but because you failed to commit on a choice, you failed to act.

The most humiliating thing I can imagine is to be pointed fingers at for not finishing what you'd set out to do. Free will, you say, but only as long as your hands keep out of my pants. You cannot affect the free will of your environment by your choices. You've got to clean up after shitting, mister. Feel free to commit suicide, or not, but you are not allowed to make choices for others. You messed up bigtime, mister, and I hope you're going to pay.
