Well, right, that is why I said recognizable and not comprehensible.

Okay, if you can tell that this: is the Lord's Prayer without being told that, then that's not normal. That's really impressive. Especially if you can pronounce all of that too.


Anyone can get Father, Forgive, Heaven, and And out of that
I mean, show me the Lord's prayer in Old English and I can tell you that is what it is. I can also vocalize it. Proto germanic is illegible and I cannot pronounce it
Old English is recognizable, and I can pick words out of Old Norse, but Proto-Germanic might as well be Chinese. Where did the az come from in "wulfaz"? Where did it come from?
Run down the list of dictators. Putin, Kim Jong Un, both Castros, what's his face in Belarus, the Ayatollah of Iran, all by natural causes.

Then Al-Qaeda list, Cartel kingpins, etc.
It boggles the mind that Proto-germanic became Old Norse in a matter of a few hundred years.
I had heard of the concept but never used to such a scale!
My bits:

First, ultimately, I think when you commit suicide, it is always for yourself, except the immolating monks et. Al. I have never heard of a sad person committing suicide by selfless deed. Nobody writes a note saying how much their life sucks and takes off to Africa and helps people until they catch something and die.

Second, if you believe in an afterlife, there is no reason to kill yourself. You will now get to hear everything those people say BEHIND your back. You will meet some nice people, but I imagine they won't be happy with what you put your family through.

If you do not believe in an afterlife, then killing yourself prevents any chance of being happy in the future. Only if you are in excruciating physical pain would it make sense.

Ergo, in neither case is committing suicide because you were insulted a good idea.
So I made my Lord, now what do I do?
