What matters cannot be named.
I mean humans as such. Not suicidal ones in particular.
There is little in life that is valued and that is also worth valuing. There's a lot of fluffy talk around about devotion, honour, generosity, loyalty, kindness, benevolence, tenderness, love. People like to think these are the worthwhile things. They therefore pretend they care about this stuff. This is not what people care about — otherwise, they would take them seriously. The object of their preoccupation is usually far less lofty. It's transient moments of self-indulgence. Tends to be.
At some point, one should wonder whether what matters is to be named at all. If it were, would it really matter? After all, one names what matters, it seems, only to taint it with a piglike pursuit of some other, concrete and mundane, lowly and animal thing they are actually interested in, and they name the thing just to disguise the primitive pursuit of theirs. At that point, it couldn't matter. Shouldn't matter. If anything matters in life, it is not something that's ever been said. One seems to largely say something with rather lowly intentions.
