I was always told that silence means yes, so i'll take that as an answer from them...
I think suicide is only justifiable when you do it for a good cause, to try to change something around us.
It's hard to answer why life seems not to bring satisfaction and happiness to most of humanity. The answer may lie in front of our noses, or behind it. Lately I've been thinking about some sort of big collective mistakes that are leading us to misery. Just like it happened in the Middle Ages.
Maybe that old lady had a good answer.
I live under your feet. My town (a small, calm and warm place) lies about 100 km far from São Paulo, the big city. Its name is Indaiatuba, coordinates 23S 47W. The opposite in the world would be somewhere near Alice Springs (?), i just checked in the World Map.
Many cheers Declan, thanks for always posting
