Every time I come to see a new post about someone sharing his/her pain in life, my heart can’t help but feeling much pain too (even if I never know that person in real life). And there are so much, so many people that seems to believe that DEATH is ultimately the ‘Answer’, that of what would be the true resting place, the true door, or even the true world/dimension of ultimate pureness to live, unlike this “damn corrupt & sickening” earthly life caused/polluted mostly by ‘stupid, clueless, dumb, egoistical’ humans, so they said.
Every all wise gurus of this world (be it Buddha, Jesus, etc) all indeed mentioned about leaving this body, and that this body is a ‘prison’ of some sort, so the spirit should be set free.
But yet, every of these same gurus all keep *living*, and finding their own ‘Purpose’ (whatever that is), and to *share* it with many other multitudes hungry souls.
Without these ‘enlightening’ gurus, this world would never be the same.
Humanity might be hopeless (can be seen from so many ‘corrupt’ and ‘misleading’ Jesus & Buddha’s followers nowadays!), but do you think *Death* is ultimately really the answer, before at least trying to *live* and find your purpose and share it to humanity (and even as a ‘mark’ for this planet, as in bigger picture)?
in simple words, do you think Humanity (or in simpler words, most/majority of human kinds, people) is too dumb to realize these deeper things, and instead, it is building its own way to only one thing: ultimate destruction?
despite all the advancements in technology, medical, science, law, ‘civilized’ mannerisms, culture, etc?
is Humanity really that hopeless & futile?
or, just as there are no more Dark Ages and great big-scale wars, Holocaust, and barbaric natures nowadays (if you look at the bigger picture), is it just a part/stage of an EVOLUTION ?
and humans will be able to adapt, at its own time?

With all due respect Niki, you say “*Death* is ultimately really the answer, before at least trying to *live* and find your purpose” Very few really face suicide without ‘at least trying’ please chose you words a little more carefully.
But I can see you’re passionate which is nice. However, Jesus died young (and no-one walking the face of this earth knows why and how he died). And Buddha did have teachings which now his fellow monks are resorting to setting themselves on fire in urban streets because all their right have been taken away. Please do your research on that matter, I was a strict buddhist for 15 years and I have witnessed 11 personal fellow buddhist commit suicide.
This world has progressed to a stage to not allow that kind of life anymore. You are merely trying to live one through your computer, go out and try to do it for real and see what you’re up against. This world is no place for a being that is spiritual. It is time for those to move on and disregard this place for what it has now become – in the physical body, in this realm we have lost, but that is no matter, because there will be many other opportunities to set right these wrongs in the grand scale of things. That can’t happen for anyone trapped in the deluded mind.
I would rather die noble on my own sword than by someone else’s and show them them that this life is not theirs either to keep or to destroy – it is MINE.
Niki: One example out of many that has made the press;
monk Lobsang Jinpa of Ngaba Kirti Monastery committed suicide and the last line on his suicide note was
“I do not want to live under the Chinese oppression even for a minute, leave aside living for a day. “
if Christianity + politics,
what has/had become !

look at the Best Answer,
this is what I mean by: try to look at the bigger picture
We, needs Hope. no matter what.
because if not, then *nothing* will ever changes in this life, and no wonder we will all choose/prefer Death (or the “next world”, if there is, etc).
