Whatever your values are, suicide will not help you achieve them. Stay alive, give 5% of your income to charity, and spend the rest on whatever makes you happy. You end up doing more good than 99% of the rest of humanity.
It looks that if you enjoyed doing good - or at least having done good - the problem wouldn't occur anyway. And then, why suffer the conflict?
Because even if you don't enjoy doing good, you can still value it.
This usually falls in the "enjoying having done good" category. If you do not enjoy knowing that you are in a "better" world more, why say that you value it?
Yes, exactly. I'm glad I was at least clear enough for someone to get that point. =]
