Sometimes I think I'm actually the weird one for preferring to live anyway. It seems like the world's best opportunity to cultivate an incredible interior life of prayer or meditation or whatever.
It sounds excruciatingly difficult, but I don't know. It seems worth doing to me.
- ASalazarMX 4y agoIt depends on the emotional/financial burden you put on your family so you can experiment with introversion. In my case, I couldn't do it, I've learned that feeling useful is an important component of my happiness.
- SamPatt 4y agoI agree it seems worth doing, especially if you have the belief that at some point technology will advance sufficiently to allow interaction with other people again.
- themitigating 4y agoThen why is solitary confinement considered torture?
- bamboozled 4y agoThat's an interesting point for sure. I guess because it happens against ones will, and I think a coma where one is still conscious would be a similar thing.
- smeej 4y agoProbably because it'd be excruciatingly difficult, like I said. I guess it matters what you think life is for. I don't think I get another go at life on this planet, so I figure I might as well experience as much of it as I can, even if it's extremely limited and painful.
