"The reason we have two ears and only one mouth is that we may hear more and speak less".
Zeno (355-264 BC)
Zeno, according to Laertius, tripped and fell hitting the ground hard ... he exclaimed ... "I am comming ... why to you call me thus?" (speaking to "Fatal Fate" to let her know he was aware of his aging ... soon after he strangled himself ... for the ancients, racional planning your own "exit" made suicide acceptable - others ordered tehir slaves for help but more often than not, were disobeyed as in the case of Nero and Hadrian - the Bilbical cultures see life as a divine gift and that humans have no right to "terminate" what is not their creation.
