Apologies if I came across as saying it's the person to blame for they're own suffering that's not what I was getting at, I was just thinking about what's happened in my own life. I sometimes wonder what would have happened if I'd made the changes to my life 20 years ago. It's taken a lot of suffering for me to get here but things can change, and you do not know what is around the corner so I would tell anyone who is thinking of taking they're own life to find a way to keep going.Same. Vedanta really helps because I have learned a lot about just being present with suffering, instead of resisting it or trying to fix things all the time. I feel like at this point I can endure almost endless suffering. I just don't feel like there is any point to living. Nature doesn't care if a bug gets stepped on or a bird breaks its wing and can no longer fly. I don't really matter either.
You ascribe far too much personal agency to suffering. Living beings all over this planet die helplessly every single day, begging others, or god, or whomever, to help them or save them as they die. I am beyond helping and I've made my peace with that. I simply don't want to live anymore. It doesn't need to be corrected. My own suffering no longer holds meaning for me. It is a pointless exercise that never ends.
You do matter, a human life is worth a lot more than a bug or a bird, every human should be able to have a good standard of life and health no matter where they are from or what they're background is.
Have you been to see a doctor or therapist to tell them how you feel?
