I am always sorrowful when a seemingly intelligent person is unable to come to a rational conclusion about anything in life because they make relatively simple things complex through conceited imagination.
Mr. Heisman, maybe your life was meaningless because you filled it with meaningless pursuits ... whereas we stupid dumb slaves of Jesus Christ live each day with meaning and purpose; even when the day brings calamity or trouble.
The loss of one life is heartbreaking to God ... what could have been eternal joy for this individual ... is now eternal loss which will never be satisfied.
Imagine the horror of this person, who decided to take his life in some grand intellectual experiment to prove the meaningless of life ... is now, at this very moment ... still alive ... but completely and utterly ... without hope.
Lets us all that name the name of Jesus Christ pray for this mans family; that they would not be as foolish.

So concluded the writer of Ecclesiastes. And, without God, it is more than meaningless.
[Man leaves behind 1905-page suicide note]
Shouldn’t that be: Man leaves behind 1905-page suicide book?
1,905 pages? At least it had a happy ending: one less completely self absorbed and obsessed depressive Academic. A few thousand more such exits and we’ll be making real progress.
Poor guy, he should have talked to Bill Maher first, then everything would be fine! /sarc
In real life, sympathy and prayers to the real victims of this tragedy, his family and friends. I volunteered on a suicide hotline for a time until I could not take it any more (too depressing) and it was a real tightrope to walk trying to convince the person on the other end that life was worth the effort. It was the heartbreak from the people who surrounded the successful(?) that showed the damage and one of the worst cases was when one suicide led to another and another within the same family. HORRIBLE!
The chances that those 400 people are going to read through this fool’s 1,905-page ‘note’ are about as likely as the chances that Harry Reid has read the health care bill.
Where’s that little smiley guy rolling on the floor laughing when I NEED him??
The philosophical exploration was a short one.

Imagine being stuck next to this guy on a cross country bus ride.
Quite an opus. It should have been condensed to be more accessible to the masses. “Life sucks, then you die.”
