If you knew somehow (God told you, you were psychic,etc.) that your life was going to remain as currently is, or no better than it has been; would you commit suicide?

***READ THIS*** Hell No! Trust me when I say that my life isnt EVER easy, I have a life filled with things that I have to deal with that are not good. I try to do the best with what I was dealt. Life is just that, Life. It can suck but once in awhile it can be ok. I read somewhere here an answer that I will always remember, it goes like this: Life isnt happiness it is ONLY the happy moments that we must look forward to and cherish. I never looked at it that way and after reading that it makes total sense! Besides, You NEVER know your life may improve and if you commit suicide then it will never improve or have had the chance to improve and only make things worse for the people that love you.

By "better", what exactly do you mean?
No Better financially? Sure, I'd live. And I would decide to have more fun than ever doing what I like without the financial angle attached.
No Better socially? I 'd start learning everything I'd always wanted to learn.That'd take up a lot of my time.
No Better Healthwise? That's tricky, but you know what, I'd still go out and have a blast, and try my best to make a difference to someone who's suffering as well. I know for a fact that brooding by myself will make me feel worse. The equation then is simple - if I live, somebody else might as well!
Any way you choose, the last vestige of life left in us has some potency to make a difference. It is a gift.

Well, given my track record, I would pretty much expect to be wrong. So if I expected my life to go downhill or stay the same, it would probably be the best news I had all day. Anyone who is over the age of fifty is expecting a downhill run in a lot of ways. It doesn't mean we can't find joy in life, and it doesn't mean that other things that really matter to us won't sustain us. Life isn't a birthday party and it doesn't come with a paycheck like a job. Life is a discrete amount of time given to us, with no knowledge of how long, bad, or good it is supposed to be. We make the most of what we've been given and hopefully use the gift well.

I would still want to live. Right now, I don't see many changes coming in the near future anyway, but life is always changing and you never know what might come your way. If things stayed just like this for the rest of my life, I would be ok with that. I am in a wonderful relationship and can be happy with a simple, peaceful life. I have been a lot of places and experienced a lot of things so I am alright.

Yeah, I would still like to live. I like my life. Nobody has a perfect life, and I don't expect my life to get a lot better than this, anyway...well, maybe a little. But I wouldn't kill myself if it didn't. And anyway, I'm too skeptical; I wouldn't trust any source. Unless Jesus came down from Heaven and told me. Well, then I'd think I was schizo. Anyway. No, I wouldn't commit suicide.

Yes, I would still want to live, and no I would never commit suicide. My life is not great, but I do have family and friends. I have my writing, movies, music, and other things that make me happy. Also, you do learn something new every day - even without trying (TV, radio, internet, newspaper, etc.).

No, my life is pretty good. I have a wonderful husband, a great daughter, a nice house and car, both of our parents are still with us and we have a good family around us. Would I like some things to change? You bet, but if they didn't, I would not give up and die.

That's an interesting question.
I'll have to think about that.
If I wasnt able to change anything. And if that was a fact
I'd get pretty mad and frustrated.
I dunno if I would kill myself then.
Or.................
Maybe............
And thats a big maybe......
I would give up everything, change my strategies and still be
able to change myself the way I wanted to ! :P
Cuz maybe (maybe) the way you was going about
doing things didnt work anywayz..
So it would force you 2 rethink strategies and then get the succes you couldnt get doing it the old way.
That is If the way you tried to reach your goals didnt work,
then doing the opposite might do the trick....
God works in mysterious ways.
But I'd always want my own power in choice and not someone fiddling with my life... Unless he/she had good intentions Id might think about it.

No.
At least you know what's the worst thing you can happen in life and there will be solutions to it, but who know what will happen after death? Things may get even more worse than you can imagine.
