I can't find the value of living

If you're wondering what to do to stay alive,
Please come back here.

Buddhism does not prepare kind words for people who make life poor.

Hello.

well, don't be in a hurry.
Drink something warm and calm down.

Speaking of which, I bought a new electric kettle the other day. The packing of the pots I had been using until now has deteriorated over time.
Recently, there are types of pots that don't release steam when boiling! I immediately decided to buy a pot that wouldn't let steam out.
I bought it at a large mass retailer like “○○ Camera” or “○○ Denki,” but since it's not such an expensive product, I thought there was no need to negotiate a discount in particular, so when I tried to go to the cash register with a pot, the person at the store went out of their way to say “I'll give you a discount.” Well then I thought it would be nice if they made the price tag cheaper from the beginning (laughs)
I got home and installed it right away, but I noticed that the content was smaller than the one I had used until now. I thought I'd exchange it, but they got a discount, so I thought I should just add water to the beans, so I left it as it was.
There really isn't any steam coming out of the new pot. On top of that, the sound is quiet. Or rather, almost silent.
The clerk gives a discount even though they don't say anything, and the pot makes a quiet sound when boiling and no steam comes out. There are things that are good about being alive.

This is a new question, and please tell us a little more about it.

I see, have you come to that decision?

That's probably because so much has happened. You're probably thinking there's no point in talking about it.

However, there is a huge difference between the “thought” of “being able to do it” and the “fact” of “being able to do it.”

For me, I hope that decision does not fall within the realm of “thought,” and that it does not become a “fact” without a relationship sufficient to be fully implemented.

Please come back to talk to me if you feel like it.

In Buddhism, suffering has a cause, and I believe that if the cause is destroyed, suffering will also be destroyed.

As for the fact that you say “it's not worth living,” you probably think that in Buddhism this does not cause death to be avoided.

This is because the “value of life” is nothing more than our “thoughts.” Thoughts can be changed with thoughts, and if a more fundamental solution is to be achieved, thoughts can be broken by facts.

I woke up today too. The heart pulses, cells divide, and breathing asks for the next breath... a fact that can be kept alive.

For now, why don't you eat whatever you like the most today as circumstances permit. It may not be tasty even if you eat it alone, but if you eat it while talking here, you may wake up to the “fact” that it is “delicious.”

I hope you wake up tomorrow too.

I read it.
Please take your time and relax your mind and body. Also, try exhaling what has accumulated at the bottom of your heart.
Please let me hear your thoughts here too, and please let them out clearly.
Then take a look at your own life again.

I'm always looking forward to seeing you.

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is my humble answer to the question.

Rather than the value of living, let's think about “how we want to live” from now on.

If you look at the thank you, it seems that they are people who work hard to save others, but in Buddhism, a balance between “self-interest and others” is required.

It means “for myself and for others,” so I won't do anything for others until I force myself to sacrifice myself.

It is only when you have time to spare that you can help others.

If you don't seem to be able to afford it, I think you should refrain from doing things for others for a while.

Also, if you can afford it, there are things you can do for others without feeling bothered.
