Life is a beautiful gift 🥰

[NumbItAll]

...if you like disease, war, murder, genocide, torture, wage slavery, actual slavery, poverty, theft, corruption, authoritarian governments, lying, rape, abuse, animal cruelty, hunger, thirst, injuries, aging, stress, anxiety, depression, disappointment, heartbreak, loneliness, candy corn , freezing, overheating, annoying bugs, traffic, pollution, work, chores, and so much more. If you don't like these things then you just need to adjust your perspective. You should be grateful that torture isn't mega-torture, for example. If that doesn't work then try calling a suicide hotline. Best of luck!

Yeah, hard to believe any of this is real. And I'm not at all sure it is.

Calling suicidal people who are better off than most ungrateful would be akin to putting a man in a cell and telling him to be grateful that he wasn't tortured as well.

candy corn

Oi.

[tieiwi]

I love candy corn

I do not understand how someone could ever want to live in a world where there is so much suffering, they must be very delusional. I see wanting suicide as being perfectly rational in a world like this, as there is no limit as to how bad things could get for us. Existence is completely unnecessary, more than anything I wish I was never born. To never exist, means to never suffer.

All of these terrible things are normal and acceptable collateral damage to neurotypicals. Apparently there is some greater purpose that makes it all worth it. Never mind the incomprehensible amount of suffering that will always exist. Oh wait it's fine because I can just pay lip service to all those issues and continue living guilt-free. I'll switch to reusable bags which will somehow save the planet and then I can enjoy my products made with forced labor and food made from factory farms. GG!

THIS, this is one of my biggest reasons to CTB as well! No one gets it I swear, I feel like either I'm being a pessimist, or everyone is choosing to turn a blind eye. It would feel so pretentious to try and live a "happy life" (which isn't even possible in my case), I can't just ignore the fact that our world is like this. I'd have to indulge in escapism constantly just so I won't think about it.

But it IS something people should think about. We don't reevaluate life in itself enough. But maybe because suicidal people do more often, that's why they're more likely to be suicidal hahah, in te rest ing

And it's not even just about my own fear of experiencing those things, but also the fact that other people are experiencing them daily. And people couldn't fucking care less. It's so depressing.

 

[waitingforrest]

I agree, candy corn is a valid reason to dislike life. F**k candy corn.

Life is a curse…maybe if I could choose to be born to a nice warm family that doesn't get verbally abusive to their sensitive daughter and think it's ok, I wouldn't be here, unable to handle my current situation.

b-but...oPtiMism!

 

[EliphasBlackwood]

Yeah but if you could just ignore like.. All of that.. That'd be great.

 

[WrongPlaceWrongTime]

Life is a box of chocolates. All of them give you diabetes no matter which one you get

 

[Conker]

If "life" was such a gift, then why am I ready to kill so many for the right price?

By its literal definition, this planet is nothing but a rotting corpse infested with maggots & parasites.
Even calling it Earth is a sick joke considering how the heartlessness is so pervasive. Anagram / Earth / Heart.

No heart, and to make matters worse almost everybody's severely mentally retarded.

FROM ENTROPY TO DUMBOTRY, AND BEYOND INTO OBLIVION

HOW THE GAP BETWEEN MINIMAL COGNITION TO FATHOM CRITICAL ISSUES & THE EVER DEEPENING SEVERITY OF THE ISSUES IS ALSO EXPONENTIALLY WIDENING UNTO A LOOP OF NO RETURN -Under these conditions, Opt…

Life can be a gift. If you are gifted with good genes, a wealthy family, lots of luck and are born in the right place. But for most of us, this unrealistic. So yeah… life is pain.

Yes, for someone ugly, autistic, insomniac, bipolar, suicidal, life is hell

Honestly just not being mentally ill is good enough for most.

100%. I'd rather be ugly than mentally ill since in this day and age its not uncommon to be a hermit anyway.

 

[Nostalgic]

I agree

Life isn't beautiful at all. We are self-replicating bio-robots; lumps of self-aware meat hung on a rack of bones slowly decaying until we die and rot in a grave/crematorium. All we are here to do is consume and reproduce more copies of ourselves, FOR GOD KNOWS WHY, the rest is just drama created by a CULTure/society. It's just - eat, sleep, shit, work, chase trivial crude, animalistic desires and then die. Once our brain rots we won't even remember any of this nonsense so it will be as if we never existed. The sad reality is, there is no "positive", there is only the elimination of the negatives (negatives instilled by life). E.g. - we are hungry, we need food - we are lonely, we crave companionship - we have needs/desires, we seek fulfilment - we are sick/ill, we seek relief/aid. Once one removes all cobwebs of delusion which is rare, they can see the silliness of life; a bunch of animals eating each other. Survival instincts force a person to exclusively focus on the positives otherwise they risk suffering depression. Things can get only worse in time, such as nursing homes, dementia, cancer other age related illnesses etc. All you can do is try and "enjoy" your own life the best you can without causing harm to others and that's about it

Okay but candy corn is fucking delicious

The greater purpose is themselves and the fact that they get to use our dead bodies as stepping stones to happiness.
Their happiness is more important than our suffering (apparently), that's the narrative.

 

[TooConscious]

The people who attack this place are trying to convince themselves their sins aren't great, so rather than address these issues, they like to bully people who are already suicidal hoping to get a energy hand out thinking that when that person dies they've caused it.

Most people are awfully cruel and cowardly which is the worst type of human being. Sadistic and cowardly Bullies. Makes me ill.

Life is a Prison, Death a release.

The part I struggle with most is that I knew a life relatively untouched by these things. Ignorance truly was bliss, as they say in The Matrix.
Born with a healthy body, in a safe country, with a loving (albeit physically ill) parent. Although we were very poor, this was plenty.
Before knowing severe, chronic physical and psychological pain, I wouldn't say I was happy all the time, but I was OK for the most part.
I used to scramble eagerly out of bed, hungry to face the day ahead, not wake up in a state of terrible panic and disbelief.
Without constant pain and severe mental illness I felt that anything was possible. Following my dreams was plenty to keep me happily occupied.
It's not that I hadn't suffered at all, but that suffering wasn't the norm.

I've always been empathetic, even before my excruciating physical and mental agony. As a child I cried a lot, as when others were sad, I could feel it.
Why then did I end up in a place where I now understand incredible, unbearable suffering... now when I see or hear of the pain of others, my heart breaks into little pieces. I feel like panicking when I see people maimed on the News, as I've been maimed and understand how it feels. How it never goes away, no matter how many years pass. How it makes each day bitterly difficult until one's final breath. How forgiveness becomes a daily chore. How it inextricably limits one's possibilities.
It hurts so much more to see others go through it. Understanding hurts like hell.

As Kevin Carter, the photographer behind the famous "Struggling Girl", put it in his suicide note:
"I'm really, really sorry. The pain of life overrides the joy to the point that joy does not exist. ...depressed ... without phone ... money for rent ... money for child support ... money for debts ... money!!! ... I am haunted by the vivid memories of killings & corpses & anger & pain ... of starving or wounded children, of trigger-happy madmen, often police, of killer executioners ... I have gone to join Ken if I am that lucky."

He was a man who put his ass on the line in order to document atrocities in Africa before the advent of the internet. And he died alone in a truck filled with carbon monoxide, with one of his chief concerns being money.
Meanwhile there are trust fund kids roaming around on Daddies' dollar without a clue or care in the World.

The only thing that made life meaningful for me was enjoyment of life, and service to others.
But without enough enjoyment of life, one cannot be of service to others.
So I can only conclude that if there is a God out there, he/she wants me dead... they are calling me home, away from this miserable place.
If I had better health, I'd lobby for more lenient euthanasia laws- before the people I care about are forced into horrific deaths because we're all too cowardly or ignorant to tell the Government we value each other at least as much as our pets.
