if the genuine distress reading of the op is right--and i have no way of knowing--then routing it through existentialism--even a potted version of it--was probably not the best idea that cat ever had.
he could have read my response as saying: if you re hurting, going about thinking it this way is a bad idea.
i think that was clear.
i'm not sure i understand the point of generating scenarios as to suicide or something else based entirely on negative evidence--or no evidence. well, to put it a bit more harshly, on nothing at all.
it's pointless because (obviously) unless he posts more here, there's no way to know anything.
given that, these concerns appear mostly passive-aggressive critiques of those of us who took the op a bit seriously as what it presented itself as being--a philosophy problem. and a badly framed problem at that.
