How likely is it that ctb is how you pass the test of life?

[Ambivalent1]

Everyone suffers on some level and yet people keep going. Maybe going against the grain, walking the narrow path, etc is how you win. What we win is a mystery. A great test would leave the contestants totally in the dark in order to measure their qualities.

I've always seen death as the climax of life rather than the ultimate end of life. I feel like a lot of the people we were told to look up to when we were younger died early. (Christ, Alexander the great etc.) I just hope my grand finale is sweet, short and peaceful.

To me suicide can certainly be seen as winning, as it's taking control over our inevitable fate and is preventing all future suffering and harm, I see non existence as being completely ideal. But I don't think that life is a test or anything like that, I just believe it to be an unfortunate consequence of evolution where we are only destined to return to nothingness. There is no meaning or purpose to existing here in this world, life is completely unnecessary.

The suffering levels are insanely different.

honestly, i think it's that when we ctb we are becoming our own type of self aware. we are tired of the intense emotions imposed on us by our brains and just want a swift ending; we're aware and in those last moments so put out from the suffering we endured that we can finally obtain peace and silence knowing that it's over… until we're put into whatever the "next" realm is we individually seek.

Who knows? It could just as easily be the opposite. Maybe Jesus is testing you to see if you would believe in him despite the allure of hedonism. Or maybe some abstract alien lifeform is keeping you in a maze to see how you react to stimuli. Or maybe we're already dead and in hell, having done the deed eons ago, which is why life is so painful.

In any event, it's hard to imagine that death is the final end. The concept of experiencing nothingness is a logical impossibility and beyond the scope of human comprehension. One of the reasons I havent ended it yet is because of this mystery.

Some people have something that keeps them going like self love, talent, a relationship, etc that completely overrides the stuff they are going through. For other people, it is simply not enough.

I think the answer to this test isn't really objective.

 

[DeathToSpiesSMERSH]

I feel as if I'm cursed with some form of immortality, even if I physically was to die, I'd be stuck here forever.

 

[GasMonkey]

I think a lot about the possible reincarnation trap after death.

My talent was only thing keeping me going, now I'm losing it all, health mind body and talent

You think we'll live again? Why must we experience nothingness for it to be acceptable? We don't experience the nothingness during sleep or during surgery.

The suffering levels are insanely different.

In a way, but different people can handle different things. Maybe the mundane life for one is as excruciating for them as being hopelessly mentally ill is for another.

I'll CTB within the year, I'm just procrastinating right now so I might stay a little longer. Life is too boring wish I could do something fun.
