Discussion DAE feel entrapped here like a rat in a cage?

And that CTB is the only way to gain clarity and a way out to freedom?

We got social medias but immense censorship and loneliness as the byproduct. Distortion of absolute truths.

We interact on a basis that feels like slavery to an imposed structure.

We're born to ruthless games of chances in life.

We grow old only to get forgotten. Time being an unstoppable pain in the ass.

Just some thought-provoking questions

I've been thinking lately that life is just a horrible game of chance. We're taught that life is unfair, because it is, that things dont always work out or go your way, because they dont. Theres the chance that your born in a country where you're a child slave even today in certain places. What kind of faith or meaning or quality of life or anything do those children have? Maybe its just human arrogance thinking theres meaning, and its a means to cope by not thinking about a lot of horrible unexplainable things. Theres the chance you're born with debilitating physical problems, or mental emotional problems. Theres the chance you're born into an abusive home. Theres the chance that those you love could just stop loving you and leave and they have the right to do so. Theres the chance that you arent self aware, not cognitively able, and ruin a possible connection with anyone when they just thought you were always cringey anyway. I have no idea how someone can stand on their own to feet and just be ok. We are all alone, in an unfair, confusing, dog eats dog world. That's what I'm thinking now anyway

I loved the Smashing Pumpkins so much - got to see them during the Infinite Sadness tour, I was in 7th or 8th grade.

I also love the movie Ratatouille…

Yes. It's why I and many others refer to life as a rat race. We are wage slaves to those very few at the top with very little, if not impossible chances of rising to their levels of influence of wealth (not that any of it matters, those things only have value because we as a species collectively chose to give them value). There are no rewards, and if we stop running, we are punished. It's disgusting and I want out.

I certainly see existence as being so prison like, as it's really not straightforward to free ourselves from this terrible burden that we were so cruelly forced to endure. I see it as being such a cruel punishment having the ability to exist here, it's truly something so awful feeling trapped here enduring this futile and meaningless process of slowly dying where all that is inevitable is even more suffering, loss and decay until death erases everything for us.

I see existence as being a tragic mistake, it's a cruel disturbance of what would otherwise be the perfect state of not-being, and I certainly see wanting suicide as being perfectly logical, to me it makes sense to want to avoid all future harms and prevent all unnecessary suffering in this chaotic world where we have limited control over our existences and where factors out of our control can cause so much torment to be experienced. Existence truly is so nightmarish and unappealing and I'm certainly tired of feeling trapped here, it's certainly true that the only relief could ever lie in being permanently free as to die solves what the ultimate problem is which is existence itself.
