Apartment for Peggy1948
Prof. Henry Barnes:
Why not suicide?
Peggy Taylor:
Because it wouldn't change anything.
Prof. Henry Barnes:
The gentleman would be dead! I consider that a drastic change.
Peggy Taylor:
What makes Mr. Hypothetical think he's living now?
Prof. Henry Barnes:
I just said he's living!
Peggy Taylor:
I mean really living! He's just doing nothing but sitting around moping thinking of reasons why he should kill himself. He's not alive, he's dead already. Just as dead as a dodo. Now if he's dead suicide isn't going to change anything. It's just going to give him more of the same thing he's got. Suicide only puts an end to living and vice versa. The only way he can change that deadly existence is to start living with a capital L and that's what Mr. Hypothetical ought to do right now.
