Suicide is a sticky topic for many people...largely for cultural reasons. The main reason I didn't kill myself when I wanted to is that it would devastate my mother, but I have found the acceptance of it as a possibility, freeing, in the past. (NB: I'm not suicidal, don't worry)
After reflecting on this, one may then think 'well, if I'm going to keep living, what is to be done?'
I suspect this relates to how we re-present Zero back to ourselves. How do we frame the unborn, unconditioned? I mentioned this RE: @dthorson's podcast w/ Burbea.
For me personally, the teachings of Shinzen and the Mahamudra tradition have been helpful in framing Zero in such a way that it doesn't just become depressing nihilism - they reflect the inseparability of experience and non-expereince, vivid and empty. Others like other stuff.
People resist this notion of nirvana as Zero, perhaps because they can see the duality of experience and non-experience. Later Buddhisms make practical use of this duality. So we may ask, how does the acceptance of non-experience - zero - impact my experience? What does it do?
Yes -- and how we frame zero / emptiness implicates how we frame awakening and liberation. Easy to lose ourselves in attempts to find some 'absolute frame' and overcommit to particular frames and, in doing so, fail to acknowledge the flexibility of frames themselves.
