It is interesting to me that I missed the whole aspect of suicide being part of the ending. I had to go back and reread it to figure out what was being talked about here. I was thinking more about transcending or transforming suffering and letting go of all aspects of self and belief that cause it. In a way it feels to me that it is only when we have fully let go of our suffering and are willing in a sense to die each day, that we can truly begin to live.
