You really can't say life sucks because that implies that your speaking relatively to something else. Seeing as there's nothing else, life is just life. It is what it is.

I don't really see the logic in this. Would it be more fitting to say, "I don't enjoy life." or maybe, "I don't enjoy what my life holds."?

Life is the exact same as death. An absolute nothingness.
There is no deep meaning to life. Or death. Or at least the original intention of so. We drugged each to make helping eachother to fill that hole. Now we are trying to make it nothing again. Which doesn't work.

Well you could say, "My life sucks". you just can't say that life as whole sucks because there isn't anything to compare it to so you don't have a "scale" to base that statement off of.
btw 600 posts!

Which doesn't work. I agree with Rob on that telling someone life sucks is highly relative to that persons situation and their perspective on their own life. But, in my perspective, life is what you make it to be. If you want to let the situations around you influence you outlook; that's simply your decision. But if you want your life to be happy and enjoyable; you also have that decision to have a positive outlook. I encourage people to live because I believe everyone has the potential and the right to see the beauty that life has to offer.

Oh, I understand your reasoning now. You're completely right.

Maybe i explained wrong.
Life is nothing. No winning. No losing. So no way to rate right?

Actually there is winning and losing in life, as I just can't belive that a life simply ends to exist, yeah the life form ends but the energy doesn't!
Commitin suicide leads to maybe "cheat" the life and "skip into next level", or there are rules which we can't know since you expirience them after you die.
I, for example have the wish to die and if I'll be honest with you, I can't wait to see the day of my death, natural death.....
That is my true dream, to reach that state and if you read right, natural death.... (in the meaning of dying with 70-90 years)
I belive to have something you could say it's a REASON to END MY life.....
And if I wanted to kill my self, the last thing I would like to go thourght would be, to argue with someone why I shuoldn't do it.
Therefor if a Person really wants to finish with this timeline, but can't wait.... I wouldn't mind his/her decision.. and would maybe support it!
A dumb reason is not a reason and for that stupid way of thinking, I belive that they deserve it..... But they are too scared to do it..
If someone is blind by wish, let them die by the wish..
In both ways I dont care, but there are big differences between those 2.

He has more of an atheist/agnostic stand-point.
