“Today we live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups... So I ask, in my writing, What is real? Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo-realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms. I do not distrust their motives; I distrust their power. They have a lot of it. And it is an astonishing power: that of creating whole universes, universes of the mind. I ought to know. I do the same thing.”
― Philip K. d***

“Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.”

Doesn't this depend on how you view suicide? "I give up" vs "I've done my best and now I'm done"

How so? (Do not answer this challenge except by private message.) He did not die by a firearm but by hanging, if you're sadly punning on the word, "Shot." He was suffering from a long term and misdiagnosed illness when he took his life. Your comment seems inconsiderate at best, and offensive at worst. He had worthy things to say when he lived, and his death should not detract from the original intent in his words.
Irony: the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect; a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often amusing as a result.
