At some point, even the greatest misery begins to fade. Life, or what passes for life, plods on in it's own unending weary footsteps, and somehow we plod along with it, if we stay lucky.
What is the point of living if we are going to die anyway? What difference does it make if it__ going to happen now or later? All we have to do is to take a step and jump off; that will resolve all problems, answer all questions at a time. And what if we are already flying down? We have jumped off, _ perhaps, right after the birth, _ not even knowing about it! The ground is already near; we just have the last moment to live and finally realize we are already dead for a long time.
