Lets imaginate.
Let your mind soar until it can picture the most perfect personal world for you. Cummon-play along, no pain, no weeds, beautiful gardens, floaty pillowy lovely relationships with people, you are sought after, popular, admired, respected, gifted, part of a connected happy family, animals are clean, odor free, friendly, cuddly, no mess, no dishes, but delicious meals and plenty of fresh food to keep you thin and healthy. Keep this rolling.Now imagine that Heaven is simply the perfection of the world we create here. And, continue to imagine that if you suicide, you will be stuck for eternity in the exact place you are trying to escape from. Don't leave early, unless what you have right now is all you want. Endure and fix what you can while you are here. Imagine that God will take care of the "rest" in His own due time. Trust His timing.
