Yep, nothing is what follows death in my opinion but that should not worry you, because you wouldn't even have the capability of experiencing nothingness. Actually the mere concept of Nothing only exists in your brain, and it will not exist anymore once you're dead.

i would be more afraid if i'd believe in things like that... i mean i want to break free from life, not to get to another one

If such nonsense stops you, then you are still far from CTB.

Ahahaha. Did you answer as an expert of the universe? Because it is as close as Nikonda.

yeah.. that was a little bit harsh hm? ^^' i dont think its nonsense, nobody can tell what comes afterwards. i dont believe in that either, but for some its an important question

Well, I have crossed feelings about this.

On the one hand, eternal nothingness doesn't sound so bad because it'll be just like the time before we were born: we won't realize we won't exist.

On the other, it kinda sucks huh? I mean, you'll never get the answers and understand the reason why we're in this nonsense universe! I hate to be just...an ant! No afterlife, no explanations, NOTHING! :(

I answered directly, without hypocrisy. I can't stand whiners. He fucked the whole forum in a very short period of time with his whining.

Hope you fart. When to shoot. Nothing personal. Just the answer.

Why are there such people on this forum?

Surely this is a place where we should be able express our thoughts and feelings about death, suicide and our circumstances without judgement. Many of us are judged for our suicidality in the outside world and deemed "too negative", "whiny" or told to get over it and be positive.

@orlandom your fear of what comes after death - or rather what you are worried doesn't come after death - is a valid one.

As an atheist, I find the concept of nothing following death to be a tremendous comfort, but I understand many others do not feel that way. I hope you are able to find your own peace, whatever your perspective on death may be.
