Is death so bad? Is there anything, after we die? And if there isn't that life is just a big trip? Sometimes good, sometimes bad? How can we make sense of all that? I don't think death is so bad... It is just ending your long suffering. When life goes bad, death is good. What do you think?

Hi

Only me again ..'Future Generations post'..I hope you find the inner strength to come through your suffering and trials. If you ever believe you are not 'on your own' in life , and that we MAY have spirit guides / guardian angels/ loved ones who are with us trying to guide us, whatever you wish to call them. I know you know what you should feel like...but can't help how you are feeling, regardless of what we say... but PLEASE never give up, i don't know you or what causes you suffering but i so hope you FIGHT FOR LIFE, even when you are not surrounded by love, find it in yourself first and CHANGE everything you can that needs changing, and change your MIND to a positive one and BELIEVE, then take CONTROL of your life.

..move out of the shadows and walk in the sun with a smile. GOOD LUCK .

Honour the PAST as your TEACHER.

Honour the PRESENT as YOUR CREATION.

Honour the FUTURE as your INSPIRATION.

Yes, I think , suicide is wrong. And very irresponsible with future generations.

But ,when you hurt too much in life, it's good to know, that it will end on some point. I mean , I do suffer right now, and I''m hoping, it will stop...Thanks

If it was suicide you would cause the death of many...future generations...and break the hearts of those who love you. My freind hung himself with his daughters skipping rope and he was found by all his family, they do not live very well now.

We must live our precious lives the best we can and when life is not worth living THEN CHANGE IT.. YOU! have the power to change. If others are hurting you remove yourself..if career is boring GET A NEW ONE..if life is nothing but suffering death is not the answer... LIFE IS THE ANSWER...LIVE IT WITH A BRAVE HEART, rise to the challenge and find the warrior within.

Death will meet you one day...as it will, every single one of us, Greet it when he comes to you.. BUT NEVER CALL FOR HIM before you have TRULY LIVED and LOVED and have done everything you ever wanted to do.

' When life goes bad' as you say

make it good...no good looking for escape through death ...sit up and start living girl, be strong.

Passthrough agony auntDeath ends what could be the thing which keeps the living alive.

The point of life is to make this world a better place for those who follow.

Death is enivitable. To fear death is to live in fear, living in fear is not living.

DoubleM agony auntOkay. Good question. My opinion is that life is a gift, whether by nature or divinity, and we each have to struggle through it the best we can. I'm currently going through a difficult phase myself. I'm older than you and sometimes lonely. Sometimes I enjoy sleeping and dreaming more than reality. Even when things are not going well, living is the best alternative - and you only have once.

Plexi agony auntDeath is an ending of course, however it's not for us to decide when that ending should occur. Choosing to end one's life is "giving up" not ending"the sufering". Life is meant to have ups and downs, happy moments and suffering, to play the game right we must experience everything. Nobody has a life with only happy wonderful moments, that is not a life it's an immature fantacy. Adversity makes us who we are, we can not be emotionally rich if we lack experiences. This is life.........we need to take the good with the bad and vice versa, we all go through all these moments, it's not fair for the rest of us when people bail out because they can't handle the hard times in life. It's also very selfish, the person that decided to "end it" has indeed ended the suffering for him/herself but brought on so much pain and confusion and suffering for the people around them! is that fair i ask? If people who are terminally ill can tough it out and live it up till the end shouldn't we too? Are money, relationship,etc problems more difficult then the problemssomeone has who is living with advanced cancer or hiv or ALS(a disease where you slowly lose control of your entire body from the feet up untill it reaches your lungs and you die because you can't breathe)

We need to all just play the game until the end(who knows what wonderful things are waiting for us 10 yrs from now- if we end it we'll never find out, if nothing awesome will happen then at least we were strong and played the game like champions!

A female reader, birdynumnums Canada +, writes (12 January 2009):

birdynumnums agony auntI don't think that I would look at death as a means of escaping lifes hardships as I don't believe that suicide is a good ending for any life - it leaves far more questions than answers and a lot of people behind, grieving. If that's what you are asking... And if it is what you are asking, seek help for depression. We all feel sad and overwhelmed from tim-to-time, there's no shame in asking for help.

If I am off the mark, then yes, I think that death can be a great release from suffering, as I recently saw my brother pass after a long battle with brain cancer. It may have been a welcomed release, but it came all too soon in his short life. And with every death there are all those who are left behind with a hole in their lives. I suppose that it is the inevitable end of us all, but I think most people don't wish for it and fear it. I'm not sure about heaven, but it is a comfort to think that we see everyone that we have lost again. Well, that's my opinion, for what it is worth.
