Monks, just as even a small amount of feces is foul smelling, so too I do not praise even a small amount of existence, even for a mere finger snap.

Monks, just as even a small amount of urine is foul smelling…a small amount of saliva is foul smelling…a small amount of pus is foul smelling…a small amount of blood is foul smelling, so too I do not praise even a small amount of existence, even for a mere finger snap.

(Reference: AN 1.328)

In this Teaching from Gotama Buddha, he shares how existence of any type within The Cycle of Rebirth is not praiseworthy.

Praiseworthy: deserving admiration; commendable.

Gotama Buddha’s Teachings on The Path to Enlightenment solve the problem of the discontent mind and upon a being attaining Enlightenment to eliminate discontentedness, they will have eliminated the conditions which create rebirth in The Cycle of Rebirth.

An Enlightened being will no longer experience existence in The Cycle of Rebirth, therefore, Gotama Buddha is explaining that existence is not deserving of admiration nor commendable. Just as “a small amount of feces is foul smelling”, The Buddha considers existence as undesirable.

To exist in any form or formless realm means the mind is hindered by ignorance (unknowing of true reality) still experiencing craving and anger. The Path to Enlightenment is to eliminate craving, anger, and ignorance (unknowing of true reality) to eliminate discontentedness from the mind and having done so, a being will have eliminated The Cycle of Rebirth no longer experiencing existence in any realm.

The Buddha does not favor existence even for a split second or for a “finger snap”.
