Suicide is an act of the divine since gods suicide before our eyes.
Suicide is an act of divine compassion and justice. Chiron, the immortal centaur, son of Cronus, teacher of Heracles and Achilles, healer matching the power of Apollo, exchanges his life for the release of Prometheus.
Odin throws himself on his spear to “join the Gods at their immortal feasting, where he would receive with honour all those who similarly died with the weapons in their hands.” In other tellings, Odin suicides to avoid divine prophesy that he will be consumed by Fenrir, the great wolf.

One story within the story of storywriting on the story of the human condition is the story of writing stories about other stories to reveal how much their absolutely outrageous strength is nonsense and fatally flawed and partially or completely dangerous and destructive of the human condition even according to its own aims within and against the logic of its own story as it is written and as it attempts to inscribe itself on the world as the script for a better tomorrow in the rewriting of the human condition, only for these same stories written against other stories to then offer a new and better story of an absolutely outrageous strength that will truly rewrite the human condition.
And so one story of this story of the story of writing stories on the story of the human condition is the story of stories and storywriters struggling to erase and to overwrite other stories with their own stories, individual and constellation. As mere words on the page this struggle amounts to shelves in a library in a muffled literary tussle late at night. Enlisting the world to fight over the same words mean struggles that are violent and deadly as the story of the humans hungering to impose versions of the story of rectifying the human condition on individual and society, society and species and the violence that ensues, which is perhaps a central problem of human hunger in that stories to rectify the human condition by imposing their version of rectification are a central problem of the human condition. So it goes, does it not?
