Which to Choose: Life or Death?

198Comment: A Malaysian woman committed suicide after posting a request on Instagram asking her followers to help her decide whether to choose life or death. 69% voted for death.

My Response: Many people would die if it could be done easily. I take a pill, fall asleep, and that is it. So why suffer? If this life does not offer you fulfillment, inspiration, or achievement of a dream, it is unhappy. We end up dying anyway.

Society and the state are doing the right thing by not allowing this to develop. As the Torah says: “Choose Life.” But you have to choose that. We must try, strive, and seek this.

Kabbalah offers this, but to do so, one must come to it and find an eternal, perfect life.

Question: What is the goal of the upper governance in bringing a person to such a state?

Answer: So man can be convinced that life has a meaning. Just not the one he lives by. He lives an animal life, but he needs to rise to another level.

Question: Are you in favor of attracting people with pleasure, or pushing them with suffering?

Answer: Attracting with pleasure.

Question: In other words, to show this world is worth living?

Answer: The upper world. Sure.

Comment: World above egoism, as you keep saying.

My Response: Yes, absolutely. That is precisely what it is for.
