For the ultimate happiness, for the courage to commit suicide

I have been thinking about a question, why are people so obsessed with life? To be honest, after the age of 18, I seem to have lost interest in life, because I found that there is so little happiness, and life is like a maze of painful walls, and it is always impossible to get through.
Therefore, when I saw this movie, I always felt that in some respects it coincided with my outlook on life: if we foresee that there will be no more "happiness" in life, and there will be no more "happiness", then there will be no reason for people to survive. , To stop by yourself, is a happy ending that will always be happy.
The story began when the violinist Ali ran into his old lover Yilana while carrying the newly bought violin. After returning home, Ali tried the new piano, but found that the owner of the piano shop cheated him. It was a terrible piano, so he continued to search for the piano. When he did everything he could to buy the best piano in the world. After the home audition, he found that this top violin couldn't make him happy, so he decided to commit suicide. When Ali lay in bed for 8 days without eating or drinking, and his life was about to end, the plot of the film continued. Ali recognized Ilana and asked "Don't you remember me?" Ilana answered, "I'm sorry, frankly," No impression at all."
The reason for Ali's suicide is not only that there is no violin in this world that can give him the joy of playing, but more importantly, the fantasy of love that supports his music creation has been shattered in reality.
According to moral judgment, Ali is a selfish, cowardly, irresponsible man. He left behind his wife and two young children who loved him deeply, but if he chooses to survive, it means that he will live like a walking dead from now on. Even if he was alive, he could not bring any happiness to his family. His choice of suicide seemed even greater.
Of course, this is not a bowl of chicken soup for the soul. The story thinks that it is great for people with broken hands to eat, dress and write with their feet, thus encouraging people in pain to learn to overcome pain. But do they transcend pain? No, they have been living in pain, so what is the meaning of survival? Unless because they can still enjoy other happiness in life, and this happiness can make them forget the pain-this is the only reason I believe. Therefore, the soul chicken soup will not save the person in pain until he can find the happiness that overwhelms the pain, or the courage to commit suicide. Many people, like me, live between these two. So I like Ali's story, but I still don't want to believe that the meaning of life is to learn how to be with pain. I am still willing to work hard to find happiness that can overcome pain or the courage to commit suicide.
