Dying is oddly beautiful

[Lost Magic]

I have been thinking about the concept of dying lately. I don't mean the horrid pain that some people have to go through during the process or survival instinct or any of that. I just mean, how wonderful is it that after years of living, whether enjoying life and/or suffering, we get to leave this flesh puppet. That is why Buddhists shave their heads, become minimalists and meditate in nature. They know that letting go of attachments, that we may have to our body and worldly possessions, brings us closer to our true loving nature and raises our higher state of awareness. Thich Quang Duc set himself on fire to protest against the persecution of Buddhists by a corrupt government. Clearly he felt that the body was just a temporary tool that he could use in a way that would grab attention and alleviate the suffering and oppression of his people in the long run. Everything is temporary. Nothing lasts forever. Dying is oddly beautiful.

The only thing that I look forward to is being free from this existence, I believe that there is nothing after this and it sounds so peaceful to never have to experience anything ever again. Life is just a pointless experience that we go through for the sake of it and death is the end of all suffering, it is the end of everything. Death is beautiful as when you are dead you cannot suffer. To me, life is just pain.

yes, well that is why death is beautiful because it is the end of all the pain that you are talking about. The fact that we get to die in the first place is a blessing. I will never understand people who want to live to 100 to keep extending their withering corpses. Some people even want to get frozen because they think that somebody in the future will re-animate them Super rich people and famous people tend to be more inclined to want to live as long as possible, because they have attained a lot of material wealth and status. Well, it doesn't matter how long they live, they will die eventually and they can't take all that shit with them. I'm glad that I'm a nothing (in this world's shallow view) because I have less to lose. Life may be a blessing for the fortunate, but for the unfortunate, death is beautiful. Inhale, exhale, the end.

I only feel good when I'm calm and quiet, and I'm the happiest when I'm soundly asleep: no dreams, no nightmares. Nothing to remember, nothing to be aware of, I can't make noise, I can't be noise. I wake up and things are bright and violent, and I struggle so much to find myself in all this chaos. I wish I didn't have to come back. I wish I could be gone forever.

The only thing that gives me some sort of peace is knowing that I can let go at a time of my own choosing.

Death does seem like magic sometimes. You get to solve ALL of your problems at once. And it doesn't even take long. You can be done with it in minutes. One moment you're under crushing stress and battling with a billion unsolvable problems—the next moment, nothingness. Forever. Kinda sounds too good to be true if you're used to this shitty life.
