Who are you to tell me life is worth living?

Agreed death is peace, since it’s non-existence for eternity. However, life is something special, unique and wonderful. But it’s a double-edged sword, it can also be painful, hard and terrible.

How good one’s life is really depends on the circumstances that one is born into. If you have mid to upper class parents with resources who can provide for all of your needs, then generally speaking you’ll have a great and happy life.

If you’re born into a lower class, esp. to uneducated parents who abuse drugs, alcohol, etc. then your life will consist of deprivation, envy (of those who have it better), sadness, misery, suffering and so on. Then ofc there are mental and physical health issues that can make it worse.

While I’m educated in the applied science field, I’ve always loved music and the arts and admired those who can create it. There is a lot of competition in the field, but if you feel you are unique and talented then I’d suggest to keep working on it and maybe one day your work will be recognized. Oh also watch out for thieves who’ll steal your work and claim it as their own.

Art, music, science, the beauty of the world and women have been some of the reasons that have made me want to keep living. At the same time I came from a lower income family, suffered in many ways and I think it made me doubly suicidal because I wanted to get the best that life has to offer but couldn’t largely because of my lower socioeconomic bkgd.

Only recently have I entered the ranks of the middle class through hard work but now my best years are behind me and I’m trying to cobble together a semblance of the life I wish I could’ve had when I was much younger.

Death is always there. It’s an “easy” escape from a terrible life, but while we’re alive, why not smell the flowers and if you can’t be a millionaire for instance, even with limited funds one can still experience many good things that life has to offer. And then once you’ve had your fill, you can die knowing that you did the best you could and lived a fairly full life.

Ofc if one’s situation is truly horrible, with incurable problems like extreme mental or physical health issues, dire poverty, being so physically repugnant to others so that literally nobody wants to be with you, then life is not worth living and a hasty exit is better, rather than to suffer in anguish and sadness.
