If your problems were resolved, would you want to live?

[Ambivalent1]

I've been thinking and I would say probably not. If this were 20 yrs ago, then I would say yes. I really hate this world after 2010. It's just been a downhill sewer ever since. Being relatively problem free would mean living in a world that no longer has any good entertainment, people aren't anything like they used to be, everything seems to be falling apart, the corruption is massive, etc.

 

[mrelief82]

You are right , but i still would like to live for my son. However its true that world is disgusting these Days

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

Probably, yeah. But if my problems get solved, other people would soon wish I was back to wanting to die because of the pain and suffering my newly gained confidence and selfishness would cause.

I don't get this. Explain, if you want to.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

I don't get this. Explain, if you want to.

My main problems are laziness and a lack of self esteem. Once these traits are acquired there will be little to stop me from achieving all of the evil thoughts and terrible plans I've conceived of thus ruining other people's lives. I guess you could argue my seething hatred and apathy for the world are also problems to be solved but since I don't see them as such, these problems will not get solved unfortunately.

The only other major problem I have is being a lonely 30 year old virgin incel but solving that problem is also inherently evil because it requires some poor innocent maiden to be offered as tribute and advocating for that is extremely unethical.

But why do you want to ruin other people lived, did they do something to you, or is just an innate feeling? Don't be mad with yourself, maybe you just did not find the right one.

 

[Praestat_Mori]

YES

If my problems were solved permanently, I would wanna live.

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

It's more of an innate feeling I suppose, perhaps I was always this evil on the inside but the events I've undergone were enough to activate it. Regardless, I can't not be mad at myself because myself is the one responsible for getting me into those predicaments. It's not just about me not having found the right one. It's about me not having found the right one too many times and I never want to experience this pain again. I don't blame others, I just want them to suffer as I have suffered. Luckily as I said I'm too lazy and incompetent to achieve any real damage besides killing myself but that's why I meant that if I were to fix those things, a lot more harm could be done.

 

[Chronosphere]

Well if life is the problem that needs to be solved then I guess not.

 

[sserafim]

No why would I want to live? Work is modern day slavery. Life itself is the problem. Adulthood isn't worth living for me

 

[LittleCupcake]

I dont think so, why could I want to work at a job that treats me like shit for the rest of my life.

 

[sserafim]

I dont think so, why could I want to work at a job that treats me like shit for the rest of my life.

I wouldn't want to work at any job at all, even if it treated me well. My primary motivation to ctb is to escape having to work for a living.

 

[Umacon]

Only if I could turn back time and be in my 20's.Now at 44 I am tired enough to keep going.

 

[ThymeToLeave]

Yes, if my problems were solved I'd accept a meager life.

 

[deathslament]

My problems aren't resolvable.

 

[sserafim]

My problems aren't resolvable.

Mine aren't either as my problem is life itself

 

[4am]

if all my problems were resolved i wouldn't be alive, because existing is my primary problem

 

[strangelife]

it's my dream to live a healthy and happy life, definitely if everything improves I will be the happiest person in the whole universe

 

[Meteora]

Yes of course. All I m trying since years is to solve the unsolvable. So if it would disappear that'd be great.

 

[pthnrdnojvsc]

I would never want to live under any circumstances

I don't want anything from this evil world and evil life

 

[TiredOfAllThis]

Might be - there are still some things to enjoy.

 

[mtoro998]

Yes id want to live if my problems could be solved.

He's a super villain..can't you tell?

 

[xoirse]

no. i believe it'd only lead to more problems which also means more suffering despite how much you overthink your decisions, it will always come up because that's the way it is. life itself is the problem, the way how society functions and how it isn't for me.

Real profile pic? How come?

But you're right. Things would feel good for a little while but then something new would appear ruining it. Living life is like playing Whack a Mole. It's neverending and there's no reward except the scoreboard going up, up, up, which means nothing.

I actually just spoke about this with a friend of mine yesterday. He said, "everything will go back to normal soon." My response was, "dude, I've been in the dark so long now, I've made it my home. Even if I seen a glimmer of light at the end of my tunnel I wouldn't know what to do with it. I wouldn't even walk towards it. I'm comfortable here now. This is all I know."

So no, absolutely not. Even if all my problems resolved themselves today I'd remain detached and emotionless. I've seen too much, know too much and have endured way tóo much. This is who I am now.

Just like if you plucked someone from Hell after many years and placed them back in this world. How can there be new life with a mind that's been annihilated?

I wonder what too-far-gone actually looks like. Is entering in and out of a dissociated state like a teeter totter when in public a clear enough sign?

 

[ClaudeCTTE]

Maybe if my problems had been solved years ago, my life would have followed its normal course, and I would have lived better. By this, I mean that the pandemic wouldn't have affected me, and I wouldn't have dropped out of college.

However, speaking of the present, it's almost impossible to imagine a scenario in which my problems are solved. Most likely, my life would become much more boring than it already is.
Having all my problems solved but having them as past memories wouldn't help me at all.

 

[offtoseethewizard]

Without a doubt

 

[wildflowers1996]

yes if they were solvable
