Venting Positivity about something so awful as life will always feel toxic to me.

[FuneralCry]

To me, positivity about something so awful as existence is just a delusion to invalidate the cruel and harsh reality of this existence, as the truth is that having the ability to exist in this world undeniably is such a terrible thing, it's a curse to exist in this harmful world where we are only destined to suffer and be tortured by old age.

Life could never be a "gift" or something "beautiful", in fact it's just a tragic consequence of evolution and also pushing positivity and the idea of hope only leads to more suffering, as it can delude people only leading them to suffer more once they are forced to confront reality. Hope is the most harmful delusion as it exists only to be taken away, leading to more torment and the idea that existing is a positive thing overall is centred around lies.

The reality is that existing in this world truly is a terrible and hopeless thing, I see life itself as being the true problem in which only death can offer relief from. Dismissing the fact that existence is something so harmful, futile and filled with unlimited potential to suffer really is so insensitive to me. There is no benefit to existing here and there never could be, delaying the inevitable just leads to more suffering, I personally cannot stand it when people act all positive about life and try to force this onto other people, it will always feel so hollow and fake, like people are in denial.

Yes, I hate it when I see words "positive vibes only" plastered around day to day life and in the real world. It seems like the masses (mainly normies, pro-lifers, and those bunches of people) just want other to "tell them what they want to hear" rather than "tell them the truth about reality". I too get really annoyed and irritated when I see it and I do not react to it (as to not draw a scene) and try to tune out the over-saturation of pro-life spiel thrown at every corner of this world.

Life could never be a "gift" or something "beautiful",

What do you mean? There are many people and beings out there living wonderful beautiful happy lives.

Currently the only reason existence and life is a bad thing is because the beings that got dealt a bad hand are forced to stay here and suffer. Give the unfortunate beings access to assisted CTB, then life and existence would be a very beautiful thing.

I find it so ridiculously cruel and unfair that I got a mysterious and crippling brain problem (daily headache disorder/vestibular migraine/who fucking knows) just as I was ready to turn my life around and because I drank one extra time and was forced to wean myself off alcohol over a week, I will die 50 years early because it's so unbearable. My twenties were alcohol abuse, bullying, debt, unemployment, prostitution, emotional abuse, unsettled living conditions etc and now this! Why me when there are so many horrible people sitting pretty? Life is not fair that's the underlying problem.

What if you are in Heaven right now? And what if Heaven is so loving that it allows you to create whatever reality you want? Meaning that It includes everything and that It would never judge Itself or interfere with creation? After all, it is already Everything and in a certain sense has no need for reality, it is already Perfect and Eternal. But! In order to share Its LOVE with all of Its parts it delegates Its creative powers to Its precious little parts in order to experience Itself through them in relative reality. So, believe it or not, the hand, the door, the wall, is your life purpose! I love you all, you are Heaven forever, it is all within you, so our minds are more powerful than we assume. Change the filter and the world changes, but it's totally up to you to decide what you want to see, it's all good.

For some people life must be nice or at least berable, for others (hint) an awful thing, and everyone else is suffering from stockholm syndrome

To some degree, it's choice though. Even people who have utterly dreadful lives may choose to believe that their life still has value and the chance to get better. Perhaps they're wrong and they will end up just as suicidal as us. Perhaps not though. Where I definitely agree is- I don't enjoy it when all this positivity crap is pushed on us. However- it's up to them at the end of the day- how they want to perceive and live their own lives.

I agree that having hope can be utterly crushing when that hope is lost. Still, without hope- or, wishful thinking, there's no chance of 'recovery'. I realise- you, me and many other people here don't even want to 'recover' necessarily. As many people probably rightfully argue- what does that even mean? I guess it just means making life more bearable.

I don't know how long I'm going to be stuck here for. Could be years potentially. If I'm determined things are going to be torturous all that time- chances are they will be. Perhaps that's more realistic- who knows? I find it hard to keep hold of hope these days myself but there was a time when I had it. Some 'hopes' did come true too. Some didn't granted but with no hope- I probably wouldn't have bothered with anything. I suppose hope gives us the motivation to try. We may still well fail but if we don't try- we'll just be stuck where we are. Life in all honesty feels more like just desperately treading water now for me to be honest but, there we go.

I'm not criticizing you for your own beliefs- that's your choice. It makes sense to you. I can't say I blame you either. I struggle to look at the world and see what people have to be positive/ hopeful about. Still- that's their choice also... so long as they keep it to themselves! That's up to them really.

I guess the issue is that they don't tend to keep it to themselves!... They insist that they have the correct world view and we're all crazy. I do certainly understand why that's so upsetting.
