You: Even if one does not believe that there is a supernatural, all-encompassing "meaning of life," that is no reason for suicide. One can choose to live because life is enjoyable, or because it makes the lives of friends and family enjoyable. One could even live because life might be enjoyable later. Any of these things could keep one from considering suicide, no matter how bad things have gotten.

Aaron: These things you are talking about, particularly the desire to live because life may become enjoyable later, are all restatements of the fact that people are able to go on living because they have hope for the future. That is precisely what I was trying to prove. From the way that this conversation has drifted, though, I can see that you will not be able to accept the next step of my argument, that hope proves justice, so I am forced to drop it all together.
