Because pathetic is perpetuated. The mind is pure repetition, both good and not good.

Damn straight. The mind is pure habit, with the same circuits firing over and over. It's been estimated (though I forget the source) that 90% of our thoughts are basically the same day to day. That means our attitude towards any subject will tend to have enormous inertia. In a practical sense, this means that shifting your political bias, religion, wealth... is hard. Not many people make big changes in attitude.

To change an atitude requires gentle repetition. Anything new or forceful will get rejected by the subconscious, because it will always be viewed as threatening. The subconscious is designed to reject anything too different and you have to coax it.
 
Explain to me how any life is better off dead than defending thier cause?

That still doesn't explain how a rational, well trained professional is better off dead than actively practising what they're most capable of using to change what their cause is....you'd have to be off your rocker...

It does depend who a person is and what they represent and how others use that death.

SBS ran a doco on a revised timeline for the crucifiction during Easter.. A political narrative that involved the power struggle at the top of the empire. It is postulated he surmised his own death based on being sandwiched between a rock and a hard place.

That's a bit like saying 'the car was heading towards a cliff and he did not bother to brake'. That has to be suicide in my book. Mind you, the version held with the Russian Orthodox church does not say he prophesied his own death. Someone must have added that later

Penance for realising western society has got worse under his watch?

Given the agenda he was actively promoting, in this final act, he may well have actually succeeded in making this world a slightly better place!
