Any answer to such a very heavy query Lemohang Tebeli implies the involvement of a religious value system; this begins with the assumption (belief) of a human soul, which eventually does not die.

———-—

Dying is a process that usually begins well before death actually occurs. This process is a journey from the known life of this world, to the unknown of what lies ahead. As this process begins, a person starts on a mental path of discovery, comprehending that death will indeed occur and believing in their own mortality. The journey ultimately leads to the physical departure from the body.

Psalms 23:4

4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley,I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

First of all, I'd like to thank you for taking the time to comment Stephen I. Ternyik . It is a very interesting comment you made, including the different avenues from which one can approach this question. I appreciate it.

If a suicide does not "really die" and yet there are laws and taboos against suicide, something else must be at issue besides merely dying. In a religious context, it may be that you are the property of the deity and subject to its often seemingly arbitrary determination of what you may or may not do. That could include not only the proscription of suicide, but also sexual relations, food choices, alcohol (even coffee and tea in the case of Mormons, although strangely they do allow soft drinks with caffeine). In a nonreligious context, you may be the property of a sovereign, who has dibs on you for labor, military service, etc.

Thank you so much Karl Pfeifer this is another avenue I will explore further.
