Quote of the Day 18 Oct 2015
The suicidal act is both a moving away and a moving toward. Psychache, psychological pain, is what the individual wishes to escape; peace is what the person seeks and moves toward. In suicide, the goals are merged as one: Escape from pain is relief–that is how peace is defined. The unbearable pain is transformed into peace; the suffering is taken away. –Edwin Shneidman
