Mr. Tom: You raise some interesting questions here. The narrator's shredding of his own wings implies a rejection of his own divinity. Under the circumstances, could the suicide then still receive divine assistance? Or, is such a thing ever possible? Can or would an angel (and by extension God) assist someone in ending his/her life? Of course, there are doctrines that reject any kind of forgiveness for suicide. Still, those same doctrines recognize the existence of an 'angel of death.' So, could it be that the angel of death would provide this kind of assisted suicide, simply as part of his 'job.' Many thanks for sharing this one. -G
