If the stars align for you. If you are healthy mentally and physically, smart, beautiful, loving family, lucky and everything desirable. Life is very beautiful for some but for most is shit.

Life can be beautiful one day and then a horror story the next day. Heck it can even switch from great to bad with in a minute. I don't think anyone's life is completely beautiful though. I think the only thing you can say about life it it's a roller coaster.

life is untrustable, deceiving and evil.

It all depends on chance and luck what our lives turn out to be. Yes, some people suffer a lot more than others. Life itself is in no way beautiful. It is very unfair and there is unlimited potential for suffering. There is no limit as to how bad it can get. We were all perfectly fine not existing before we were forced to live. I see it as a curse to be alive.

One of my therapists said the point of life is to learn to deal with suffering and it I committed suicide I'd just be reincarnated and have to learn how to deal with it in the next life.

It may be. But I don't know what it's like to be someone else, I only know what it's like to be me. Everyone has their own frame of reference and for me to consider life beautiful my mind would probably have to work in a radically different way and also have a completely different personality, life etc.

The world is beautiful most definitely. The game of life we play to stay alive in it is what makes it ugly. This poses something of a dilemma
Socrates said very well, life is not constant.
In my studies and readings in search of answers, I found this description about our existence.
The entire life of the evolutionary creature is besieged by certain inevitability.
1. Courage — is strength of character desirable? So, man should be raised in an environment that requires coping with difficulties and a reaction to disappointments.
2. Is altruism — is service to others desirable? Then, the experience of life should provide you with situations of social inequality.
3. Is hope — is the greatness of trust desirable? So human existence must constantly confront renewed insecurity and uncertainty.
4. Is faith— is the supreme affirmation of human thought desirable? So the human mind must be faced with great difficulties, in which it always knows less than it can believe.
5. Is the love of truth and the willingness to go wherever that love leads desirable? So man must grow up in a world where error is present and falsehood is always possible.
6. Is idealism — a concept very close to the divine desirable? So man must toil around an environment of relative goodness and beauty, which stimulate the unrestrained search for better things.
7. Is loyalty — devotion to higher duty desirable? So the man must keep going forward, though surrounded by possibilities of betrayal and desertion. The value of devotion to duty stems from the implicit danger of failure.
8. Is detachment — is the spirit of self-forgetfulness desirable? So mortal man must live face to face with the incessant cry of an inescapable ego that requires recognition and honor. Man could not choose divine life in a dynamic way if there was no life of the ego to which to renounce. Man could never hold on to salvation, in righteousness, if there was no potential evil exalting and differentiating good by contrast.
9. Pleasure— is the satisfaction of happiness desirable? So man must live in a world where the alternative of pain and the probability of suffering are ever-present experience possibilities.

Yet another preachy meat puppet sermonizing pro-life drivel in hopes of keeping you alive as long as possible.
Even the most lucky, privileged, and successful human will most likely have their wonderful life end in pure misery. The vast majority of organisms on earth die slow, agonizing deaths. Very few pass away peacefully and painlessly.

This is why antinatalism is the solution.
Yes, i feel i'm just a permutation among many. I deal with what i have and envy others better than, punish myself for not being what i wish to be and people don't care about the mediocre, aimless, unfriendly, ugly person like me.
