The only difference between suicide and martyrdom is press coverage.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Just as with homicide, those in the 'passion' category of suicide are much more likely to turn to whatever means are immediately available - those that are easy and quick.
Every man has a right to utter what he thinks truth, and every other man has a right to knock him down for it. Martyrdom is the test.
They're not put on earth to be martyrs; they have to want to come out. It depends on your culture, where you work, where you live. Each person's circumstances are unique.
The martyr cannot be dishonored. Every lash inflicted is a tongue of fame; every prison a more illustrious abode.
Martyrdom covers a multitude of sins.
They tell us that suicide is the greatest piece of cowardice... that suicide is wrong; when it is quite obvious that there is nothing in the world to which every man has a more unassailable title than to his own life and person.
The counterpart of the suicide is the seeker; but the difference between them is slight.
Martyrdom does not end something, it only a beginning.
A martyr can never cooperate with death, go to death in a way that they're not trying to escape.
It is the cause, not the death, that makes the martyr.
