$ Dear Sally: ‘ I have a problem, and for the life of me 1 can‘t think what to do about it. 1 go to university, and there is a certain girl who goes to the same classes as 1 do, and every time she waits for me, and the first thing I know when walking up the street, she has a hold of my hand, and she hangs on for dear life. 1 do not want the fellows to think I am going steady with this girl. She is not the type of girl I would go steady with; in fact, I do not like her. What to do, Sally? It should not be hard to solve that problem. Before you meet her, put your hand in your pocket, and keep it there for dear life. When she gets this treatment once or twice, I do not think she will bother you much ‘again. Here‘s hoping! Sally Scott. Dear Sally: I am very much in love with an older woman. 1 am 29 and should know how to control my years older.

It seems to me that it‘s time we removed the stigma from suicide. This attitude is a relic of an ancient religious taboo which doesn‘t bear a close look; the generally accepted idea is that only God should decide when a human life is to end and that it is wicked and presumptuous for man to decide for himself. Theologians are constantly telling us that God didn‘t remove evil and suffering from the world because He wanted man to use his freewill and intelligence and choose the good life for himself â€"but this free choice apparently doesn‘t extend to deciding about his own death. That‘s the grand thing about theology â€"if something is illogical and difficult to explain, theologians can always claim that it‘s God‘s will, which shuts up most people. (I mean, it‘s difficult to think of a snappy comeback to that.) _ . I can see how this prohibition arose in early times; life was the most precious and mysterious thing a man possessed and it was all too short anyway, and to deliberately end it was considered sinful. Obviously such a great gift must beâ€" long to the gods and was only lent to man, so that the gods alone could decide when to claim back their gift. The ancients were right in this respectâ€"life is a wonderful gift and should be treated with dignity and respect in any of its maniâ€" festations, high or low in the evolutionary scale. Murder of any kind is hideous to most of us, and self murder has a special horror to even contemplate. But I believe there are circumstances where suicide is the only sane and even honorâ€" able way out of an intolerable situation. Unfortunately, we‘re conditioned to believe that suicide is always a coward‘s escape, but suicide is undertaken for a variety of reasons, like any other human act, some of them cowardly, some noble and some silly and pathetic. What‘s even worse, suicide is illegal and the unsuccessful suicide attempt can lead to police laving a charge. And to add insult to injury, a successful suicide is always branded as "suicide while of unsound mind" or "suicide while the balance of his mind was disturbed", even if the particular circumstances of this death prove that it was the action of a normal mind in its normal condition. Is the man insane who prefers a selfâ€"administered. quick, painless death to months of agony and a slow death from cancer or something else vile and incurable? What is a bearâ€" able pressure or condition to most of us may be unbearable to a more sensitive person. Commander Oates walked out into the storm to die deliberately to save his comrades. He failed gloriously. But was he mad? Ernest Hemingway shot himself because he found he couldn‘t write any more â€" this is a terror that stalks most writers â€" but he was famous and rich and could have rested on his literary achievements. It wasn‘t enough for him â€" but was he mad to choose this way ? If a suicide attempt is made which deliberately or through indifference endangers innocent people, then I agree that this should be discouraged by law. But most suicides endanger no one else â€" the poor soul goes on his long voyage into the dark alone, and in secrecy. Let us have compassion then ; it is the least we can do for our fellow travellers who may not have had our luck. "For man, the vast marvel is to be alive. Whatever the unborn and the dead may know. they cannot know the beauty, the marvel of being alive in the flesh. The dead may look after the afterwards.
