I think he should have joined doctors without borders, peace corps or whatever it is called, or one of those Christian mission (even though he had a problem with Christians) . He may have found peace in helping those who suffered more then him

I think you missed the section of his letter stating that part of his decision was based on his internal desire to hurt others. He truly felt if unchecked his darkness would lead him to take life other than his own. His decision for him was not only a release from his torment, but a protection of others.

Rest well, Bill. I never knew you directly but after this insight into who you were, I do wish I had.

Do you really think most of the people doctors without borders helped suffered as much as he did?
I don't think any of us can honestly answer that question. Why is it even relevant what state most of the people are in.
Yes.
Suicide is fine, if your parents are dead, you have no children or no spouse. Have at it.
