Eyes closed to the beauty of the world. Blinded by fear, shame and pride. A shell of a man, enveloped in a cloak of pity, disengaging from emotion while making preparations.
Unmoved to alter course, though a different choice would spare his children deep sorrow and guilt. One might say he gave his life to save his family. Though fiscally solvent, do they feel saved?
Suicide is the ultimate SELFISH act, excused not by intent or desperation.
