Quote: Michael Laitman
Q: Why is suicide considered so terrible in Judaism? If one sees no point in living, why cannot that person choose death? After all, it is known that man cannot tolerate pain, so how does suicide sit with the purpose of creation?
A: If a desperate person separates from life only in order to avoid pain, it shows that the most important thing for that person is not life, but pleasure! Without pleasure, life becomes a burden that any person would love to get rid of. It follows that we are nothing but a desire to enjoy.
One should always be aware that whatever the torments arise, they are given by the Creator for the purpose of correction, for advancement. Suicide is one’s total refusal of the offer of the Creator to advance, a rejection of the means for correction.
We must remember that the only place for advancement is this world, and only in this body. That fact might sometimes be hard to accept, but it is nonetheless true.
I love Michael Laitman teachings from the khabalah. Much wisdom! And I encourage all young people to study his teachings as well as Buddhism to gain knowledge and peace of mind.

You are your destination in life. To know all that is you. To build up your self love and self worth, no one can do this for you.....but you. So be patient and stead fast.
Get into hobbies that will expand and grow you. Know that in movement we create more brain connections. So move as much as you can, sing/dance/walk/run/swim......
AND... the only one that will ever have you be happy, is you. We all have challenges, that is how we get to know who we are.
Having self love will make life more simple, then you wont look outside of you for what you will never find.
Happy comes from inside you........take one step at a time.

The point of life is for you to figure out what the point of life is. Or something... I dunno. It's your life: you decide what the meaning of it is.
But if it were me I'd say that the point is to go live, do amazing shit, and find someone worth spending your life with.

I'm pondering the same thing, but I know that there's a reason for me, so I just keep on living. Just believe that there's a reason.

I wonder the same thing, always have. Actually there is no point, we are just here, and have to make the best of it...

Well you probably haven't graduated high school yet. That might be nice to cross off your bucket list.

Don't say that. You have a whole life ahead of you. Create goals for yourself.

Why should there be a point?
Life is what you make it.
