What a neat slogan. Also misleading.
Life itself temporary, hence the death-is-permanent thing. Hence all things in life—pain, happiness, pleasure, suffering—are temporary. Suicide is just the shortening of all of these possible states (or potential states—for the hopeful). Thus a shortening of a bunch of temporary states.
Doesn’t sound as menacing and dramatic when you put it like that. And it’s equally true.
