Suicide

In the seventeenth century David Hume asked, "Why can't I commit suicide?"

The Jewish response is direct but with wide implications.  The simple response is that you have been given a gift.  Is the gift so readily discarded?
And when you accept the idea that you have been granted a gift by God who is to say that your life will not find validation beyond today's limited vision?  Do you know better than the Holy One?

Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
