I don't see why suicide baffles you... an eternal state of life or no.
Many things, I feel, are worth dying for.
Many things, I feel, are not worth living for.
I value my life not for living... but for what might be accomplished by me remaining alive, and how much I value those goals.
Frankly: I'd rather be assassinated, or to die in sacrifice to accomplish my goals, when my death occurs.
Kamikaze jihadists have their goals... their goals may be selfish, stupid, unobtainable... yet they value those goals... and they value them more than life as we know it.
I am neither comforted nor disturbed by no life after death... if there is a 'life': I shall adapt, and see what I can accomplish. If there is not: what of it? I did not die with the intention of coming back.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
