I have never seen an animal commit suicide.
I find it interesting that animals, especially apex predators, don't appear to conceptualize “hopelessness” the way humans do.
Even at the brink of death, they fight, bite, claw, and persist without turning their suffering into despair.

The console born from betrayal is starting to look a lot like the one that betrayed it.
do you understand what happened to PlayStation yesterday..
They quietly turned your game purchases into a 30-day subscription.
No announcement.. No warning..
You didn't rent it.. You BOUGHT it.
→ Every new PSN purchase now has a 30-day validation timer
→ Timer hits zero = game locked
→ CMOS battery dies = game locked
→ No internet for a month = game locked
→ Even FREE demos have the timer now
Game bought March 2nd? No timer. Works forever..
Game bought April 24th? Expires May 24th..
They didn't patch a bug. They shipped this on purpose.
Digital ownership just died. They didn't even tell you.
every time you replace “this is hard” with “what’s the first step?” you shift brain activity from your amygdala (fear) to your prefrontal cortex (problem-solving).
that’s neuroplasticity in real time.
When i'm about to give up a friend said:
"Peace doesn't come to men who refuse to declare war on what's destroying him"
And it made me wake up that day
“The one who’s in love always wins. It doesn’t matter if you get your heart broken, you’re living. When you’re feeling, you’re alive. The sun doesn’t care whether the grass appreciates its rays, it just keeps on shining..."
That one of the great tragedies of life is the paradox of wisdom and age. As you become wiser about life and the world, you have less time to apply it yourselt. So you try to pass it down, but some things just can't be heard in youth. It only comes through the experience of living. And then the cycle repeats: you remember that someone tried to give you some gems and you didn't listen, so you try to do the same. It's a somewhat cruel time loop of sorts, and I ponder over the design sometimes.
