...excuse me while I smoke. If the rest of this is harder to understand..you know why

Here's the thing.. The last few weeks, especially the latest couple, have been very bad for me, and for the first time in my life I have been depressed enough to entertain the thought of suicide. The ony thing that's keeping me going is the fact that I know I can make it better. I'm bringing this up to highlight the point I put in bold text above..take a moment to re-read it if you need to... Now, I've talked to friends who've lost their entire marriage and the whole time it was happening, they could function as if nothing out of the ordinary was happening.. They could deal with it easier. I lost much less than that and it's still fucking with me. Pardon my language, please.

I mean, I'm not going around thinking of killing myself when things are great. Ever gone to your buddy's and said "hey bro, let's catch a movie and shoot ourselves!" - of course not! Suicide is for the most part driven by some form of depression. Have you ever heard of someone committing suicide just to do it? I sure haven't.. When it's all said and done there's usually a reason behind it.

That's not the point I'm making here, though. You're right, if I kill myself, that does help rid the world of genes that make someone prone to deep depression (remember, I've only ever felt suicidal when I'm very depressed).. BUT, it's also helping remove good (genetic) things about me. That's like being pissed that one wall looks whiter than the others and tearing your house down, then trying to justify it by saying "well, it took care of the problem" .. maybe it did, but wasn't there a better way?

That made sense to me. If it's fucking retarded I'll fix it when I'm not high.
Doesn't really matter about the good, the whole idea of natural selection is getting rid of the bad. I.E. the ones who couldn't survive.

Your suicide example doesn't really fit because you don't seem mentally unstable, nor do you sound like you could commit with it.
