There is a dark, yet undeniable solace in knowing that someone else has freed themselves once and for all from this sentence we call existence. He did it at thirty-two — before the body could be deformed by time, before illness could devour it, before he had to witness the slow agony of his own flesh.
He will never know the defeat of old age, the atrophy of his hands, the humiliation of simple gestures turned impossible. He will never again look in the mirror and recognize a wreck where once a face used to dwell.
And above all, he escaped what now makes life not only painful, but profoundly undignified: this prison-world, this open-air cell disguised as civilization.
We live within a system that watches, measures, catalogs. Every movement is recorded, every purchase analyzed, every trace turned into surveillance.
You are not a person — you are a code, a data stream floating between predictive algorithms and sleepless cameras.
They study you. They classify you. They sell you. And they judge you.
Your tastes, your vices, your weaknesses: all tracked, monetized, exposed. You are a silent lab rat in a global experiment.
No escape. No silence. No elsewhere.
In a single moment, he withdrew from it all. He chose the only real form of disconnection.
He will no longer be a target for the market, nor a number in the health system. He will never again have to smile to please, or shake cold hands in waiting rooms.
No more being an object of pity or annoyance. No more begging for attention. No more fading into the social void that awaits every body that stops being desirable, every soul that stops producing.
The truth is: life has always been a mistake — but now, more than ever, it has become a clear, unbearable cage.
Never in human history has existence felt so empty, so invaded, so controlled — and yet so lonely.
And he had the courage to turn off the light before it became torture.
