25. Social Practice / F. Life Issues / 4. Suicide

9248	It is essential to die unreconciled and not of one's own free will [Camus]
	Full Idea: It is essential to die unreconciled and not of one's own free will. Suicide is a repudiation.
	From: Albert Camus (The Myth of Sisyphus [1942], 'Abs free')
	A reaction: Camus' whole book addresses the question of suicide. He suggests that life can be redeemed and become livable if you squarely face up to the absurdity of it, and the gap between what we hope for and what we get.
