Ok, I see what you're saying. But I don't think that was Buddy's dilemma. I
don't think Seymour was seen as dying nobly for a cause. I think his suicide
was a complete surprise for the family, and since he was Chief Guru and since
so many had invested so much of themselves in him, his death affected
everyone on a very deep level. Add to the fact that he was a beloved older
brother that he was a loved and admired spiritual leader and you get close to
the type of disillusionment the Glass family faced with his death. I think
Buddy was trying to explain it for himself, how he could reconcile the
Seymour he admired with the Seymour that killed himself. And that he had to
do so for himself for than anyone.
