The system would collapse if suicide were freely accepted.
We live in a modern pyramid scheme -a spiritual descendant of the feudal order. The names have changed, but the structure remains. Most people wake up, work, eat, sleep, and repeat this cycle for 50 years. When they're no longer deemed 'useful,' they're cast aside to wither away. What does life look like at 70 or 80? For many, it's just television and pills -not living, merely existing.
This system is designed to serve the top 5–10%, the elite few who truly live. They live in a totally different world. The next 10-20% survive comfortably enough to feel like they're getting somewhere. They get vacations, nice dinners. But the bottom majority - the working class - are trapped. Paycheck to paycheck. No real growth. Just toil. Just survival. They are the foundation propping up the entire structure.
now, if suicide were a truly accepted, accessible option, many would choose it. The illusion would shatter. The system, dependent on silent compliance and quiet despair, would begin to crumble.
