Suicide is not the logical conclusion of a meaningless life, but the illogical conclusion
arrived at by the thoughtless and non-discriminating mind which has failed to perceive the
meaning that is in life. Suicide does not remove misery or correct defects, but leads to violent
reactions later on. And the reactions will be more painful than the present condition of
dissatisfactory life. Suicide is pure defeatism.

From "May I answer that" by Swami Sivananda (1987-1963). More Informations on Swami Sivananda: on the Website of Divine Life Society, Photographs of Swami Sivananda, German Pages on Swami Sivananda
