Idk how many of you read the article, but one very deep thing really resonated with me and part of how I stay happy: we are all going to die eventually.
The world is obviously a very cruel place. People are suffering and being tortured and there's nothing we can do about it. At any moment, any one of us could have a life-changing event which forces us to live in pain and misery until we die.
But if death is peaceful - maybe happy (like we go to heaven), but really as long as it isn't a negative - it makes a lot of the cruelty much less. All the suffering people will die eventually. All the bad people in power will die eventually. If life ever becomes too bad for you, you will just die, and at least if you're a good person it's unlikely you'll go to anything considered hell.
I've never been suicidal: I honestly enjoy life, and even when I don't, I want to try everything else before I die. But it helps my anxiety knowing that if anything really really bad were to happen to me, the worst that can happen is that I die. And as long as that's ok - assuming death is ok (which I admit is a big assumption), than there's less to be scared of. Of course I want to try everything else before

You don't have to be a bad person, sometimes the small mistakes can literally lead to the hell on earth before you ever will be able to die. https://mysteriousfacts.com/hisashi-ouchi/ https://mysteriousfacts.com/hisashi-ouchi/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TxLrfdMKWY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TxLrfdMKWY Death is not to be scared of, inability to die when you want is so much more terrifying. Every humane country should legalize euthanasia.
- armchairhacker 5y agoThe thing is that even he died eventually, though. Death is scary because we don't know what happens in the afterlife, but if it isn't suffering, that means all suffering is temporary.
