Life can feel like a living hell for many reasons, especially when suffering outweighs any potential joy or meaning. Suffering is guaranteed, while pleasure is not. Pain, sickness, loss, and disappointment are inevitable, while happiness is fragile and fleeting. Even when people achieve success or comfort, they still face stress, anxiety, and fear of losing what they have.

The need to constantly struggle makes existence exhausting. Survival demands effort—work, money, food, shelter, and healthcare. Most people work jobs they hate just to afford basic needs. No matter how hard you try, there's no guarantee of success or stability.

Injustice and exploitation are everywhere. The world runs on suffering—people are used and discarded so others can profit. Corrupt leaders, corporate greed, and systemic oppression make life harder for the majority while benefiting the few.

Loneliness and alienation add to the misery. True connection is rare, and even close relationships can be disappointing or painful. Many people feel misunderstood, isolated, or betrayed by those they trusted. Love and friendship don't always last, leaving people feeling abandoned.

Mental and physical decay are unavoidable. The body weakens over time—illness, aging, and pain are guaranteed. The mind can also deteriorate, leading to depression, anxiety, and existential dread.

Death is the only escape, but even that is feared. Despite all the suffering, people are expected to keep going, even when they want out. Society demonizes those who want to leave life behind, forcing them to endure their misery.

Lies and false hope keep people trapped. Society feeds people dreams of happiness, success, and love, but reality often crushes those expectations. Many keep going, hoping things will improve, only to realize too late that life never stops being a struggle.

Death is the price to free my soul. From the beginning, this life never belonged to me -- it wasn't even me who chose my own name. Life is already prewritten. You just decide what you do within a set of predetermined possibilities. As if you were given an "origin" at birth, and within it is contained everything you can become. Furthermore, the distribution of resources is unequal in nature. No matter how much you fight, external factors will always control you.
