Answer 1

Hey,those are lyrics in a Pink Floyd song.(off of Dark Side of the Moon)

Answer 2

No, the recourse is to remove the 'quiet' from the 'desperation' and talk to a professional to find out why you're tired of living. Life is not just for 'hanging on' it's for 'living'.

Answer 3

Tired of living comes from a certain type of thinking. It is very easy to fall into a spiral thinking negatively about life, our situaitons, events and so on.

The easiest solution is to change what you think about.

Or, think less.

Answer 4

You should go to your doctor. It sounds like you are in a deep depression. The brain chemistry can be out of wack.
Anti depressant medications can help you. Also change the dialog of your self talk

Answer 5

How it is nice to be quiet. When I am waitng, desperate, anxiety I keep chanting AUM(OM) mentally. No worry at all. the situation is gone

Answer 6

No, it is not.
Overcome from the moment by thinking of the still worse sufferers.

Answer 7

Jesus didn't run away to some far location so as to avoid carrying his 'cross.'

He tells his followers this, "he who does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me."

So unless we are deadly ill and in serious constant pain euthanasia is not an option. The cowards that run away from their assigned suffering, Revelation tells us will be in the lake of fire -- a symbol of everlasting destruction, not suffering.

See condition of the dead if you think the dead can suffer:
