Quote by Soren Kierkegaard, The Present A
Not even a suicide does away with himself out of desperation, he considers the act so long and so deliberately, that he kills himself with thinking -- one could barely call it suicide since it is thinking which takes his life. He does not kill himself with deliberation but rather kills himself because of deliberation.
Summary
This quote suggests that suicide is not an impulsive act born out of desperation, but rather the result of deep and prolonged contemplation. The individual thinks so intensely about the act that their own thoughts ultimately become the cause of their death. It implies that suicide is not an act of deliberate choice, but rather a consequence of excessive contemplation and the inability to find a way out. By emphasizing the role of thoughts in leading to suicide, the quote challenges the notion that it is a hasty decision made without careful consideration.
