Do you think that non-existence is preferable to life?

Do you think that non-existence is preferable to life and living? If you had a choice to not have been born, would you have taken it? I surely would have.

Funny. Out of millions of my siblings.. I had to be the one to jump into that egg... what was I thinking!?

I do. Unless you give me alternative existence to this one we have.

Literally. I wish someone else could've been born instead of me. I never wanted to exist in the first place. Like out of all of the possibilities, why did I have to be born? It's not fair.

I don't think non-existence is always preferable to life - I just think it would have been to my life. So yes, I would choose not to have been born

 

[FuneralCry]

Yes, it's certainly always better to not exist, I find it such a horrific tragedy how life even exists at all. Only not existing is perfection as one cannot suffer from the absence of everything, I despise existence itself, it's the true problem, existence just causes harm.

No. Saying that life in general is meaningless and non-existance is better than that is foolish. Would I say my life is meaningless? Yes. Would I rather not be born at all than exist? Also yes. But should I say that it's the same for every1 else just because I can't find joy in life? No.
If non-existence was preferable to life and living in general, human race would extinct long time ago.

I meant your own personal view on whether non-existence is preferable to being alive. Life in general is meaningless though, there's no objective purpose or reason why we exist. I think that life is inherently meaningless and that people create meaning for themselves. Meaning is something that someone finds for themself.

i dont know. people usually say that not existing in the first place would've been better, and partly i agree- but, i think if i somehow had the choice to be born again, id take it. because having the chance, even the smallest tiniest chance, to have a better life than this one? would motivate me to try.

just imagine being born into an attractive, healthy body with a loving and financially stable family. i wouldnt want to kill myself with that sort of life.

however, sure, if i were about to be born into my current body and saw what kind of shit life id be getting id definitely rather not to have been born. i guess its all circumstantial.

 

[IDoNotExist]

Yes. 100%. Unfortunately I exist so death is the only option.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

Yeah. Non existence is preferable to my life

In the big scheme of things. Non-existence is superior. You could argue that existence brings pleasure, which is true, but also brings pain and unnecessary problems. Simply not existing is the neutral outcome. You don't feel good, but also not bad, you don't get bored, no pain, no thoughts, nothing. I don't even comprehend how the universe even emerged in the first place.

I agree. I don't see any reason why the universe emerged, or any reason for it to even exist. I honestly think it was an accident. I think that life was an accident as well.
