For Some Attempts, Failing is Better than Succeeding

Under the video Priest Answers: If Someone Confesses A Murder, What Do You Do?, I left a comment, which got some interaction:

4:27 I suppose you also cannot forgive successful suicide.*

@hglundahl What are you even talking about?

@DanishQureshi-p9l Successful suicide involves being dead, once you are dead you can not repent and a priest cannot give you absolution.

Did you try to catch the context by actually clicking on the time stamp, going back 20 seconds and hear what I was answering?

He spoke* about sth he could not forgive as a priest.

It would seem, some of the guys following me (with or without subscriptions, there are 37 subscribed to a youtube channel, that I use only to watch, keep watch-history and comment, and they are obviously in a position to catch if I leave a comment), they are not even aware they are following a Catholic or what Catholicism even is.

Some are probably very allergic to what I believe, very allergic to what I actually say, and yet they feel they are on a mission to verify if I'm OK.

I don't need constant verifications of guys checking if I'm OK, it tends to ruin my day.

But the people who do this kind of following, they are perfectly fine with second guessing what a comment of mine means. This one mentioned the word suicide. For a certain type that would be major red flag. "He mentioned suicide, is he OK?" I even mentioned it with the word "successful" beside. And some guys go like "he thinks suicide can be successful?" ... the simple truth is, unsuccessful suicide is as big a sin as successful suicide, but because the suicide is unsuccessful, usually the culprit is able to repent and so can be forgiven. Some things are better failed than successful, suicide is one of them.

May I suggest, keeping me on a watchlist like this, while isolating me from the people who mean sth to me or have meant sth to me or could mean sth to me, that's also better failed than successful. Efficiency is not virtuous for all possibly ends, just for the good ones. And putting people who hate what I say up to using my utterances as something to "watch" is not a good one.

And, as I mentioned, neither is successful suicide./HGL

* The words of Father David Michael Moses (Novus Ordo priest), were actually a joke:

actually I did forget the only 4:18 sin that we can't forgive is if someone 4:20 watches one of my videos but doesn't 4:22 subscribe
