Martyr

I’d much rather be a martyr than a suicide. More glamorous.

But who would know that you’re dying for a cause? I mean, it’s not as if you could infer it from your suicide: that you were dying for some greater thing. You’d have to leave some manifesto. Or tell someone.

Maybe you could explain. Deliver some speech ay my funeral, claiming me as a martyr. That could be your role.

A martyr to what? For what great cause?

You could say I died for the world. For the true world.

That you died to save the world?

I died to save myself from the world.

That’s not a martyrdom though, is it?
