Mitchell Heisman, age 35, shot himself September 18, 2010 in Harvard Yard on the top step of Memorial Church in front of a tour group of more than 20 people after he finished writing 1905 pages explaining why he chose to take his life. He did not take his own life in a moment of madness, he had been trying to find meaning and purpose, but after he studied for years and questioned everything, he got to the conclusion that "There is nothing to take seriously!"

His breath is high in his chest. The ex-suicide opens his front door, sits down on the steps, and laughs. Since he has the option of being dead, he has nothing to lose by being alive. It is good to be alive. He goes to work because he doesn't have to.
