The “easy way out” will only cause more pain in the end. Life demands you to go through it. You don’t know where it ends. When the hurting will go. You just have to keep moving, marching in circles. The “easy way out” does not exist.
The easy way out is not in suicide and if you don’t survive it was your way to die. No questions about “what if..?” “If” can only be used in the present or future. You may learn along the way. Or just stay in your “save zone”, pretend like you already know.
