Good on you dude, live the dream and have no regrets.
Have you ever considered that the people who seem to enslave us are in fact also slaves themselves? Think about it. They need us to make them money, so if we all didn't work for a day, it would hit them HARD.
I've often imagined a 'world strike day' and watching the world as we know it take a huge hit. Now, imagine if it was a week, it would be a clean slate! Start again.
There's always a way.
I hardly disagree here.

People get bored with life.... i've been at that stage where i've just had it with everything and all and had suicidal thoughts....... i seeked help and got it...... i'm thinking these suicidal people don't want to seek help for their troubles and so decide to off themselves.... the reason for seeking a companion to do it with is possibly likeminded individuals who are at that present time going through some heavy # or something similar and so they find a significant other to do it with.... an example would be a boy and girl weren't allowed to see eachother outside school so they get on the net and decide on some pact to off themselves if they can't see eachother....
I like what one girl said on page 1 about us relying heavily on the internet to strike up relationships in forums.... this world has become a bit crappy really with all this technology..... people sit at their desks at home or at work chatting away to others on the net when really tey should be conversing outside.... well i speak for myself there but i'm sure there are others like me.....
I much prefer to chat in reality over virtual reality anyday........ can't wait till my next assignment!!!!
bravo. I admire you viewpoints on all you accounts.

Whilst I appreciate your sentiment, I most definitely disagree...
Suicide is an option, to be terribly base IT HAPPENS for many people, day in day out, therefore it is an option. As for life being a "gift" - yeah and from time to time we all get gifts we don't want or ascribe value to - I'd be quite happy with an Earth cd as a gift but distraught at a Coldplay one and for some people their own life can have that kind of flippant value.
If you're going to try to refute this, please at least read my previous comments before responding to get an idea of my viewpoint.
Humanity is not necessarily inherent of value, I wouldn't be willing to ascribe value to someone else - that would be wrong and ultimately it's down to the individual to make their choice... making statements such as "too precious" or the like generally is not going to help someone in this mindset, as for me I find it kinda offensive and glib, also the "christian" overtones in your statements are also offensive in assuming relevance to others and their theism (if any).

I didn't know about this and is very sad to hear...
I hope those souls find the light within themselves- and the way out of the darkness.
Suicide is NOT an option. Your life is precious, it's a gift.
We are here to enjoy, learn and move forward. I think someday -not far away- people will break free from the negative conditioning and realize that while they are worrying about their problems (real or imaginative) they are waisting precious time on Earth - where wonderful things can be done.
We need to concentrate on the good side of life and positivity instead on negativity. Stop feeding the beasts that lies beneath. Thinking about what you lack or what you don't want in your life- works the other way around. You'll keep having more of it. You are what you think.

I would only maybe say that its not a lottery,but that we actually choose the life and body and parents etc before reincarnationg.We need a specific life lesson,so we choose the one we need(body and life) for the moment. We even have an idea how the life will probably play out-the most odds-on way at least. There is no fate in the sense of steering your life...cause u alone decide on that.

It's true what you say about our lives being more in the public eye these days but even though the Internet has created many a chatroom for people to get together and chat as well as many other things it has still bought with it a kind of lonliness attraction if you know what i mean...
Chatrooms can also create the 'internet bully' and push those who are feeling suicidal already from the 'school bully' into committing suicide... and there are people on the net with cams who would happily commit suicide in front of the watching crowd and those crowds who would openly bait for it to happen.... i've read a few stories of this sort....
