Discussion the one thing you have to realize to get over the supposed “selfishness” or your fear of ctb - making peace with death

[primadonna_]

I don't think people realize that there really is no "regret" when it comes to this.

First thing you have to acknowledge is that you're just your brain. Not your body. This is just some shell that your brain controls, and without your brain you are nothing. You are your mind. When people die, so do their brains. There are nothing more to people then their minds, once those are gone, they are too. Your memories, your fear, your regret.. and if you're worried about how it'll affect other people, by the time it's over, you'll have no concept that those people even existed. Guilt will not exist for you, nothing will. The only thing that will be left is the body you controlled, that doesn't hold any memories, it can't make you feel bad. There's no conscience left there— your concept of literally anything will be gone. The concept of selfishness, the concept of other people caring… so it really doesn't matter in the end anyway. Get that through your head, and if you do it right maybe you'll get the balls to do it.

ur welcome hope its painless

I mean I do think most people realize that by the time you're dead, you won't be able to feel the guilt or anything, but just knowing it will affect them can be rough.. For me I've really just gotten to a point where I genuinely don't think it'll be too hard on most people in my life, and then the select few I can't help but know it'll be hard on, even if it's hard for them they really just have to get over it eventually, as messed up as it might be to say.. Of course the pain of a death doesn't really always fully subside it but time helps to heal it. Honestly if someone is really really stuck up on how others will react I kind of think they aren't fully ready yet, because I feel like at some point it got so bad for me that I kind of just don't consider it much anymore, I don't want to say I don't care, but it just like doesn't outweigh the pain I feel and urge to be gone.

First half really depends on someone's spiritual views, but I agree

I think we can still be concerned about causing harm in future though. Especially if it's someone we care about. Even if we are considering performing an action that will likely cause harm in the future or- even harm we won't necessarily need to witness- simply realising that what we're considering doing will hurt others may give us pause to worry about that. Do we only care about the harm we might do if we have to witness it or, we might get into trouble for doing it?

That is why ceasing to exist is all I see as positive, all I want is to be permanently unconscious of this terrible, dreadful and torturous existence that just causes all this cruelty, harm and suffering with no limit as to how much one can be tortured.

The peace of non-existence solves everything for me, to never suffer again in this dreadful existence is just all I see as desirable, to me existence will always just be the most terrible mistake that just tortures existing beings and I always find it torture to be conscious in this existence, I just want all to be gone, forgotten and erased for me with no more pain and no more suffering.

Yeah there is no proof rhe world still exists if u cease to exist.
After all , it only exists rn because you are perceiving it.
It's similar to how u could live ur whole life without knowing ww2 happened. Did it rly happen if u didnt perceive it , if u never knew about it ?
The universe everything around us , in a sense , u interacting with it makes it real.
Without u there wont be nothing
