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?
