I've been thinking a bit about this. It turns out we all die one day, anyway. And it's always too early.
So, what can we do about this?
When we die, we want to have left something for posterity, something people will remember us for. Some choose to have their ashes spread in space, others make many children, others build companies, others write books or become journalists or philosophers.
And then, a few think a spectacular suicide will do it.
There are many, on this world, who are ready to go to extremes to get any kind of recognition, even if it's a negative one, it's still a recognition.
