Summary

This quote suggests that the act of suicide is inherently abominable or morally wrong, and that God's prohibition of it is not arbitrary but rather a reflection of its inherent abhorrence. In this viewpoint, God's prohibition is seen as a response to the immorality of suicide, rather than the immorality being determined by God's prohibition. It emphasizes the inherent value of life and implies that taking one's own life goes against a fundamental moral and religious understanding.
