When you duck out on your responsibilities in this life, you fail to uphold your agreement with all the rest of the universe.

So when you commit suicide, not only are quitting YOUR lesson, you're keeping others from experiencing theirs as well. When you do this, you create MORE lessons to learn in your next experience because you go into your next experience with a debt. Buddhists call this cosmic debt "Karma".

In short; "Suck it up." Every experience is a gift from the Universe to help you be the person you are meant to be. Don't short-change yourself or the rest of the Universe by being pathetic and selfish.
Feels like you fell short on optimism when trying to get your point across, it feels really cold

Why do I feel so confused?
