For those that will do SN, we lived our whole life, just to chug salt water. How pointless

[sanction]

For those that will also do SN, we basically went through all these decades of effort and struggle (school, different jobs, relationships, stress), just to chug some salt water in the end....... how pointless, eh?

Doesn't get anymore pointless than that

How to find motivation to keep living, when you know it will all just lead to a cup of salt water..........

I see your point. As someone who requires proof to believe in something, and thus not religious at all, all of existence seems pointless. Evil wins, the rich get richer, etc. 1% of people get to live in luxury with unlimited resources while the rest struggle in vain. Many have lived their entire lives enslaved. And there was no point to any of it.

All of life is pointless because there is no underlying purpose to any of the suffering except to enrich the oppressor.

So chugging some salt water in the end doesn't bother me.

Its a zero sum game for everyone. that's life mate, weather its chugging salt water, or having a stroke in the shower. it always ends.

for people with homeostasis the answer is simple "dont think about it"

Yeah. Just realized all this effort to go to another week of work to pay bills and stay alive.......... will all just lead to 4 teaspoons of salt in the end. lol

Salt wins

Absolutely agreed here. It'll all end one way or another, be it chugging 15-25g of sn in 50-80ml of water or by murder, illness, accident or any of the plethora of ways to die.

And not only in vain but afflicted by their own personal struggles in health or any other capacity and all for what.

that's why I've always been super lazy and made sure to never put any real effort beyond the bare minimum to living.

Absolutely right. That's a point I forgot to raise. Thank you for adding that, it's an important point.

we all will die anyway. it's how you go and how much you suffer not that if you die because we all will die.

imo i'd rather take a drink ( of verified , pure fresh) stuff and pass out ( becuase it's verified pure) in 15 minutes to unconsciousness then to non-existence than suffer 30 years in a nursing home old with various pains like athritis, cancer, dementia , oxygen tank etc . they'll keep you alive up to 30 years against your will suffering old in a nursing home like from 60 to 90. so that's 30 years of suffering / dying vs 15 minutes . so i'd rather take the 15 min to non-existence. just being old one day is horror beyond words to me

to suffer as in the above link in a nursing home, that is abhorrent insanity to me, an abomination beyond all words .

This is why they took Nembutal away. take a drink of Nembutal and go to sleep painlessly in 5 minutes as Britney Maynard did to non-existence forever vs 30 years of extreme pain.

It's a little better than my original method which was stabbing myself as a kid.

No problem, you already summed it quite well so I had to just add my thoughts.

Yeah, when you compare the two, how you could age for decades, suffering from all sorts of illness that will prevent you from living whatever little life you had left until your body gives out but it won't be swift since it'll take a while. Imagine spending weeks in bed, unable to even normally function, let alone the fact that you may have financial difficulties, rendering the ability to take care of yourself nullified. When compared to 15 mins of what sn gives out, all of that does not seem worth it to go through at all and it'll be pointless anyway since nothing will save you from suffering even more then.

I actually see those who cease existing on their own terms as very fortunate, I envy them. Death is the most normal thing anyway, it's very much inevitable and all that those who ctb did was managed to free themselves from all future unnecessary suffering, I only see ceasing to exist as ideal as after all nobody can suffer from not-existing. But to me only never existing is perfection, it's cruel and tragic how humans decide to procreate.
