Composer F. Liszt wrote in 1877 in a letter to a friend: "I am extremely tired of living; but as I believe that God's Fifth Commandment "thou shalt not kill" also applies to suicide, I go on existing" What do you think?

Religion/Christianity is structured/strict. At age 16 his father(/mentor/performing agent) died and that changed his life- yes he was talented piano virtuoso- played without sheet music-a true showman- When it comes to his love life- that itself was something- He had several children.His son and daughter's death changed his life-Hardships/tear apart fragments of the heart. I couldn't find much on the letter mentioned in the question. Nonetheless, I don't doubt with his religious tendencies he did keep that in mind if ever any thought of suicide arose. I found an interesting video on youtube of his life if you'd like to watch it >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRVvoFfif8E 24 Fascinating Facts about Franz Liszt>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PhxJJ3cIeQ
lol- I just realized I probably went overboard on the answer. (sorry) I find history very interesting and personally it's interesting to reflect on the live's of others to not only learn from them but cherish the lessons they offer. (What are your thoughts on this?)
