That is true. But to be perfectly honest, I don't think someone who would fall into that line of thinking could possibly contribute that much to society even if they did not end up doing so because allowing oneself to fall into that line of thinking is proof of faulty logical facilities and thusly limited potential for accomplishment to begin with.

Good catch. Thanks. It still allows you the emotional crutch that nothing in the past can have happened any other way.

This is a completely irrational way of looking at it, but it works for some people. Addtional note: I don't drink. I never intend on poisoning myself.
