The biggest mistake a person makes is not planning their own life plan from start to finish. I admire those with the foresight to take their own lives should their life not work out as planned. The Samurai Way is how men of honor deal with a failed businesses or ventures. Few have the courage to live their own life. When it comes to taking their own life, many defer to another without logic or reason for their lack of personal power.

If the afterlife is forever, I suggest people tempt their own fate and mortality and plan the perfect way out in their own death.

One cannot plan their life from start to finish, for that would require one to be able to control all aspects of their life. This is not possible since none of us even had a choice whether or not to be born.

One does have the power to take his/her own life, but absolutely NO control over what happens afterwards. Therefore, should one decide to take his/her life, one better be 100% sure of one's final destination afterwards.

Are you 100% sure?

Doctor Z, extremely well worded and written statement. There was a philosopher who pondered both life and death and whichever he could not justify, the other would win. He could not justify his own life and took it by way of suicide. Many philosophers have said a person has not lived life on this earth if they have not contemplated taking their own lives at some point during their lives. I

Well I can't say that I've ever seriously thought about taking my own life, but I have engaged in activities that I knew could get me killed and continued to do them anyway for a time.
