“No one kills himself who has never wanted to kill another, or at least wished the death of another.”

Thus Mr. Alvarez lays out the root of the famous proposition that suicide is violent anger directed inward. And perhaps this inversion is most successful when we realize that our anger is not really about any particular others, as one begins to see that it is oneself that is out of place, that does not belong, that is too weak, too ugly, too tired. How do you kill a country or a culture, the world?
