[FairfieldLife] The cognitive dissonance of suicide

OK, I'm not going to stay out of this at all. I'm going to rap about it. And one of the reasons is that I think my life experience -- both personal and with the study of cults/spiritual communities -- offers me a few insights into the issue of suicide. Few events provoke more cognitive disson
