Even during the days when I was letting these black, sad thoughts flow on white, clean paper, a friend told me about the suicide of some monks. How difficult it is to find a good answer. In a similar way I started to question others about this deadly phenomena here. Yet this question keeps on repeating itself. I don't think that the 'Titanic'-boom, so obviously flooding this country, is a coincidence or purely created by clever businessmen.
People seem to feel like they are on a sinking ship.
And this may be one reason why those who don't have enough wisdom or stupidity, equanimity or dullness, might jump too early into an unknown sea which one may call 'Sansara'. The most secure prison in the world was also on an island, a tiny one in America. No prisoner seemed to have ever escaped alive. They were thinking of changing it into a fancy hotel. Yet destroying it in desperation will not get us the desired freedom.
