when to give up?

Every now and then a person contemplates suicide. Life is hard, the body quits working, love is ripped away, pressures creep in with viciousness, and a weakend body and mind simply wonders how much more of the burdens of life can be placed on it before ones knees begin to buckle.

The problem for an analytical mind is that it is so relatively easy to kill oneself.

Take for example the universe. It lasts billions and billions of years. Events such as suns being born and planets losing their atmospheres occur in a blink of an eye. So the human life span 70-100 years is the mere beginning of a breath in the universe. That means the easiest way to kill oneself is to just wait.
