Death seems a positive to you and I'm not sure why. Yes there is stress, hardship, disappointment, heartbreak but... there is also beauty, wonder, moments of such sublime joy that the heart can barely contain it.
But it really is as simple as I said before. Life is all we have. Death is nothingness. I don't see the allure in that. Is your life so bad? If I was a Jew at Auschwitz or a Palestinian in Gaza I might welcome the nothingness of death. But I'm neither and I don't welcome death. My life isn't great but the stress and hardships I've faced are nothing compared to that. It seems to me that hardship, pain, disappointments and all the rest are how we grow personally.
I accept that this is not your view though. There have been times when it wasn't mine either. I'm not going to try to invalidate your views. I know almost nothing of your life.
Finally, death doesn't scare me... its going to come and there's nothing I can do to prevent it. I'm not happy but I don't wish for death. There are seven cats who depend on me to feed them

But like I wrote before, I think every person in this world has different beliefs.
You're implying that life is " full of stress" and " harship to overcome".
Previously you also wrote that " death is a good thing", and to me you're making it sound as if it was matter of fact, as if you're trying to convince everyone else that life isn't worth living and death is the only way to go.
It's ok to express an opinion and discuss them, but at the same time we have to remind ourselves that we are not the only ones reading these forums. There are people out there suffering from things we don't fully understand, and I can only imagine what effect those words may have on an already turmoiled mind.
Regardless, this is the way you see life (and death), and I have no intention to change that. And that's because I believe that no one has the right to try and sway opinions towards what they think is right. |
I respectfully disagree. I believe we do have that right. It may even be our duty. And if it were neither I'd do it anyway.
