If we didn’t commit suicide, we would all live 50 more years doing what, eating the same food over and over, doing the same job everyday, and then grow old and weak and die from some disease? So, the question is, what are we gaining by not committing suicide?

You are not gaining anything. Just a longer life
I’m trying to leave it in God’s hands and have some faith. Trying…it’s hard to imagine things getting better when it feels like I’m failing at life. There are good things to focus on. I’m just going to rest my mind and not worry about the future. As I heard in a sermon today, “Take your worries off the throne and put God back on the throne.”
Children
Random Acts of Kindness, Given and Received
Deeper Understanding of Ourselves
A Chance at Lasting Companionship
Discovering the World’s Best Hummus
Mexican Cartwheels
Outliving Your Enemies
Pesto Sauce
That’s all a big maybe. We might not be attractive enough to ever find lasting companionship or a kid, or we might never be rich enough to do the things we want. Hence the reason we would like to die, sure you could say, “Your young things will get better” but that is the same as saying, “I’ll win the lottery in 3 hours”. No one knows the future, we might have a really sucky existence if we don’t kill ourselves. Not everyone gets to live the good life.
Mmmmm, I could live for discovering the world’s best hummus! I love it. I could live for more sushi too. Yum.
Yeah, if you live long enough and actually try, you will see miracles. I dated the most beautiful guy and I felt in love. It all fell apart and broke my heart into pieces. He was probably an asshole just pretending to care so he could get laid, but I also blame myself because my vices got in the way.
It was a learning experience to ditch the vices the next time I truly fall for someone and to be patient, don’t rush things.
Random acts of kindness, yes. Helping others feels good and gets you out of your own head.
For me personally it would be this: my family would live out the rest of their lives free of the trauma that would befall them if I was to die “ahead of schedule.” I do not like the sound of this, as death is pretty much my only comfort at this point. I either burn alive (so to speak) and let them to their happy existences, or else I end the pain on my own terms and leave them to deal with the aftermath. Tight spot.
True, I’m in sort of the same boat as I’m trying to figure our whether to wait for my family or just go do it.
Karma? A chance to help others while we are still alive? Idk. Trying to figure it out myself.
