elevatedsoul is so right, it's hard to live. what is the right answer?

we talk about feelings of wanting to die .. but would we feel the same if we were literally breathing our last bits of air? could we confront death and accept it? does our instinct to survive kick in? but then people do it.

my old boss's 30 year old son passed , lymphoma. he said he wanted to fight. he had prostrate cancer before then and a head injury that almost killed him. just when all that was over and he passed the bar exam.. within a month he got diagnosed. I know he'd trade places with anyone living . but I feel like you, like sometimes life is too hard but then I think of this kid, who just passed on Thursday. and I feel guilty for feeling that way..

what is the right answer? I say keep trying, if your body fights, you fight. if you have some ounce of hope some thing to hold onto, do. you must. you are here in this time and place. we all have short times alive in this universe anyway. don't we owe it to ourselves?
