I got the point. I was just curious as to vajosaur's answer to not committing suicide.

I thought the point was that there is no point.

Existence was imposed on my being, I recognise the fundamental flaws of existing, therefore I have the right to make others aware of what life is so they don't continue to impose it on others. Killing myself won't stop other Frankenstein monsters from coming into existence, we are a failed experiment of nature.

So why not make the best of it?

But if your life has no purpose, what do you care what other kind of 'monsters' come into existence?

With life comes suffering and suffering matters, the non-existent will never experience.

Why does suffering matter?

I do what I can with what nature has given me, peace is a state of the non-dualistic mind, this is what our species seeks, with hope comes fear, with happiness comes anguish, giving in to pleasurable sensations does not bring comfort to our being.
