I would like to ask you some questions! It could be too dark.. It’s not for the faint of heart so if you are, skip it! First, if your father’s blaming you for your mother’s death? What would you do? Would you rebel? Would you prove them wrong? How?
Second, if someone’s close to you is melancholic and wants to commit suicide? Would you rather kill her by suggesting ways to do it? What reasons would you give to make her stay alive or at least physically existing?
And last, would you allow yourself to have sex with someone who has deep troubles in his heart? To make him happy?
Going back to the story, everything Ivy did to help other people destroyed them. In philosophy, if someone wants to commit suicide, you should allow them. We didn’t choose the dates we were born but we can actually pick a date to die. Indeed, Ivy is suggesting that. However in the end, did she win? No.
“When you arise in the morning think of what a privilege t is to be alive, to think, to enjoy, to love.”
-Marcus Aurelius
