I'm pro-good-life and anti-bad-life. If life is not good, then it's not worth grinding. Trying to improve life quality is always good, but if it's not possible in this life, then this life is not worth living. People must be allowed to decide when to live, when to dye, when to dive, and when to die.
I have a relative who died, and while I sometimes really want to meet them again, I don't want them to get back here just to suffer. If I was given a chance to bring them back here and let them live till they are old, I wouldn't do it. ...It would be nice if I could be like a necromancer. Summon their spirit here for an hour, speak with them, ask about afterlife, and then let them return to afterlife. I could ask them why they ctb'd, I could show them how this world has changed after they left, if they wanted to hang out for a while in here I could bind their spirit into something and let them re-experience this world.
There are religious people who say "God gave you life". I'm a person who says "God gave you an IQ test and goodness test, are you good enough to see the wrongness in this world, and smart enough to say nope out." If people were meant to live here forever, they wouldn't have easily broken mortal bodies, lack of self-healing/regeneration skills, lifespan of only 100 years instead of 1000, short childhood/early adulthood. etc.
I think the main reason for pro-life is because they don't want to get lonely. If someone close to me was suicidal, I'd do everything to talk them out of it, because I couldn't live without them. I'd get too lonely and sad to see them gone. But if it's a person you don't know, as nepotistic and evil as this sounds, it's much easier to think they can ctb if they want, because it won't affect your life. If my spouse died today, you wouldn't cry. If your spouse died today, you would cry. Why? Because you can get resources from your spouse: love, affection, sex, children, support both physical and emotional, etc. Humans are parasites leeching off of others. All is. Even a tree using ground to stand on something instead of floating in the air is. You're literally saying your spouses life is more important than my spouse's life. And that's okay. That's understandable. It's okay to be a parasite, it's morally justifiable. We need certain selfishness to even exist. Selfishness itself isn't evil. Otherwise we'd have a situation where no-one could do anything. We'd have ten hungry people with ten pizzas and no one could it because what if someone wants two pizzas? Ultimate selfishness leads to the non-existence of everything. Some might desire it, I do not.
People gain something from someone being alive, thus they want more of it. If every time they saw you they'd feel a painful electric shock and get a literal heart attack, they'd quickly not want you alive.
And of course, mind hears something a lot, mind wants more of it. Humans are much better parrots than parrots could ever be. Humans's ability to mindlessly repeat sentences they have heard is astonishing. It could be said humans are sound recorders and players first, animals second, humans third. The same brainwashing ability that lets you to say "bird" every time you see a weathered animal with wings and beak, is the same ability that makes you repeat pro-life sentences when you see a suicidal person. I couldn't have written this if I wasn't brainwashed by people to see these words as a means to communicate. And I couldn't have have written anti-pro-life-sentences if I hadn't seen others do it. Or I could have, but I probably wouldn't have dared.
I wonder if humans were a more solitude species like bears or something, would they be less concerned about whether someone dies or not? I have seen videos of monkeys and magpies and dogs grieve when someone dies, I haven't seen a grizzly bear give a damn about a dead bear.
I still don't understand how humans can be so pro-life and then have death penalties for homosexuality. Maybe their desire to do evil overrides their pro-life views. Though I personally have another view, which I'm not comfortable saying. Funnily enough, though most humans want everyone to be alive, intraspecies murders are much higher in apes including humans than in solitary species. I remember reading that in apes, 11% dies of murder by someone of their own species, while in solitary non-ape animals, it's 1%. Maybe it's a way to give resources for breeding members? Social animals want to see others breed, while solitary animals don't give a damn whether you're a hetero who just had ten kids or a homosexual who's busy designing a rainbow-colored robot pet.
Do I write the longest posts here? If only the length of my posts correlated with the length of... rest I'm getting tonight.
