1059 Suicide?....

August 17, 1939: Book 19

The soul is paralysed by the awareness that it has brought about the night of death and deprived itself of the time of grace, which after all is the embodiment on earth. Life on earth, with all its difficulties, is not nearly as painful as this dark night of death, and there is no way out of it for the time being until it realizes the consequences of its actions and realizes that it acted irresponsibly when it gave up its earthly life. The heaviest sorrow, offered up to the lord, will seem more bearable to a person, but he who does not remember the lord in his distress cannot be comforted and gives the evil powers around him power over himself. And these take advantage of man's lack of will and push him into an act that he later bitterly regrets. And it is of such great importance that the perpetual struggle of earthly life is overcome. It is so extremely important to give thanks for every day of earthly life which constantly brings the human being new opposition and to regocnize it as necessary for the salvation of the human being's soul, yet unspeakably detrimental for the soul if it arbitrarily shortens its life on earth and the human being then loses all blessings and means because it did not find the strength to resist....
