There is value in everything that we experience. The only question is, what and how much value do you find in them? Which emotions or feelings do you feel when youparticipate in them?
In so far as suffering goes, if your answer is pain and anquish, then you might begin to see, and therefore decide, that suffering is no longer a very valuable experience. On the other hand, if suffering brings you much attention and compassion from others, and you feel loved and cared for when others respond to you in such ways, you might decide that the latter out ways the former, and therefore could conclude that suffering actually has some value.
So, once again, I ask, what value do you find in suffering?
For me I know that I do not need to suffer to feel loved by my friends, so I choose not to suffer when things in my life don't always go as I would like. And that my friends, is always your choice - how you respond/react to every situation in your life; your feelings and emotions.
So now I ask you, do you even know why you choose suffering? If the answer to this question is not known, then I suggest that you look into this experience and find out. When we do this, we become the conscious creators of our lives. Until we do this, we are at the wimb of our emotions and feelings, and are simply tossed around like a ship lost in the storm. Search yourself and discover why you do what you do, feel like you feel, and act lik you act, then, and only then, will you be able to consciously choose to live the life that you want to live. Once you do this all of your experiences will be joyous, even when they are not desired.
With that said, I do not find much ,if any, value in suffering at all. And, therefore, I, personally, do not choose to partake in that particular experience.

What a strange question!!!
I already do live forever - life is what I AM (God). So I really have no choice in the matter. But if I did, I would choose to live forever. Because if I could die, I would imagine that that would be a hellish experience. ;-)
