Why is it so bad to want to die?
I know it sounds dark but, when you have nothing or no desire to to do anything or not anyone that wants anything to do with you. Why is is endless sleep and peace so bad?

It's not bad. Speaking generally, society has such views because we spend time running away from the inevitable that we become less resilient to it and then issues happen. In tribal cultures there were varying beliefs and rituals that made them more resilient and respectful of the dead though not in all cultures. Killing one self is still the ultimate sin in cultures that have been tainted by Christianity.
That brings me to the next point, Abrahamic religions also are the reason for this too, the whole heaven and hell bit.
Look, this is my personal opinion now, the way I think about it is that I don't want a person I care about to die. I would feel some type of way but at the end of the day there's just things that are best left up to the person because unless I have a solution to their issues, I feel like I'm part of the problem. Sometimes I just don't know what to say even though I feel for the person but I'd never judge them if they wanted to die, I think people should die with dignity.
With that said, it's tough because there is mental illness to consider and you have to question how much is the actual person wanting to die to their actual mental illness. That's the problem for me. But overall, I accept that a person should be able to die with dignity and not pain.
