This is about the Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752.
On 8 January 2020, the airplane was shot down by the Iranian government shortly after departing the international airport in Tehran, Iran. All 176 passengers and crew were killed. 63 were residents of Canada. 57 of them were citizens. (I'm not).
I personally knew one family who was killed in that airplane. We were not close. Last time I saw them was about 3 years ago. But, notice I said: family. The parents and the kid(s), all of them were killed there.
When thinking about this tragedy in relation to suicide, there is this irony, randomness, and unfairness to it. From my personal experience interacting with Iranians in Canada, they're very intelligent, high achieving, life-loving, social, and friendly people. They left their families, friends, and home country, and came to Canada looking for a better life. Those victims wanted to live. But, they were killed and died against their will. And, here we're. We don't want to live; hiding behind fake usernames so the LE won't make us live against our own will. Thinking more about it makes me more suicidal. It makes me feel like a leech. What are my achievements? What's my contribution to humanity? Why I'm still here and they are dead?
When I reviewed what I wrote, I hesitated to submit the post. Because, here we have a tragedy, and I made it about me and how I feel. But anyway, I acknowledge that. What do you think about all this?
