Discussion What do you hope for after death?

[HopefulSleep]

I hope for anything that doesn't feel like being a human, I hate how the shitty human brain works, it searches for pleasure all the time but is too dumb to produce it out of nothing and when it gets hurt it makes everything worse instead of adapting.
Also nothing makes sense as a dumb human, I don't get it how others can be happy without a point in life, they have a partner and children but I don't see the sense of it, it has no point, I don't fit into this system.
As a child it was kinda fun at least playing games but as an adult you are more intelligent which is worse.
Even without trauma life has no meaning as a human.
I want to be something different after death that makes sense and isn't a dumb human that has no meaning and can feel so much unnecessary emotions.
I would prefer nothingness over being a human but this is not my preferred outcome.
It would also be ok to be a child for eternity, my brain kind of worked back then before getting abused, I was anti social but at least playing games made fun and I had no insomnia or depression.
Reincarnation would be the worst, I am afraid that I will get born in a third world country and tortured or being an animal which is experimented on.
That is why death is my only hope, the human brain is flawed and there is a chance that I will experience something better after death except you will get reincarnated as a human every time this would really be torture then.
I want to be something happy that works, I hate it so much to be a human adult.

I think after death will be the same as before birth. Nothingness, but not in a scary or empty way - I'm not there to experience it.

 

[The anhedonic one]

Sweet fuck all

 

[sugarmagnolia]

honestly dont care about what is after death. maybe itll be an afterlife, maybe itll be absolutely nothing. i just hope to leave this world.

 

[MusicEnjoyer:D]

I think even if there is reincarnation, your conciense, your feelings, would be left behind, so maybe you could find a happier life.

I only wish for eternal nothingness where I won't be aware of anything for all eternity. I don't desire any kind of existence, the thought of existing in any form repulses me, but thought of nonexistence is so beautiful and ideal to me, it's perfection being unable to suffer. I see existence as being a tragic, unnecessary disturbance in what would otherwise be the most ideal state of not-being, I very strongly believe that we just cease existing after this with everything being forgotten about in death which is of course the only relief in such a horrible world.

I believe this also and am ok with that

 

[Dead Meat]

Peace and Tranquility for Eternity

 

[stermc]

Just rest. The smell of rosemary. The sensation of being at home, finally.

Reincarnation as anything on this world is a bad thing, high chance for a painful life and eternal reincarnation means that eventually you will feel every type of pain that exists except if the cycle gets stopped by humanity wiping itself out.

Do you prefer nothingness over being some better thing than a human that doesn't feel the emotions that we feel?

The sensation of being at home

I also don't feel at home since some things.

 

[FuneralCry]

Do you prefer nothingness over being some better thing than a human that doesn't feel the emotions that we feel?

Absolutely. I don't see any benefit to existence in any form, it's certainly not for me and it's totally unnecessary. Nothingness is perfection and is the most ideal state.

 

[sorrowful]

i do not want anything to do with this world that is definite.

i have fantasies of some other made up places, though that is mostly me trying to personally feel at ease is death. i do strongly hope reincarnation on this planet is not a thing. nothingness is okay.

 

[minx]

I really hope for nothingness. Just ceasing to exist... It's comforting.

 

[PurpleParadigm]

I hope I cause less damage in my passing than if I stuck around.

As for death itself, I hope it isn't some kind of exponential decay thing where from my vantage point, my conciousness would endessly fade for eternity never approaching true nothing, just whatever sensation of death I experience keeps on going, and going, and going. I'm really afraid of this graph basically:

I didn't have any problems for 13.8 billion years before I was born. The problems for me began when they birthed me into this evil world.

I don't want problems, nor extreme pain nor extreme suffering. Not existing forever is the only guarantee of never suffering extreme pain of never suffering extremely and of having never having any problems. So of course I want and to not exist forever.

There is no guarantee of no extreme pain no extreme suffering in life or in any supposed afterlife.

I'm sure after I die that I won't exist again but forever.

Why would I believe a small animal / machine / brain / neural network like me would live forever ? why would I want to ?

Let's suppose that were real an afterlife but it's not really. What if there is a period of a week where I am in a bright small room with no sounds no change no sensory stimulation . That is torture, just for weeks . They have tortured people and other animals like that sensory deprivation. I would be bored out of my mind and go insane even if there were no physical pain. now suppose that period is instead a 1000 trillion years which would be nothing in an eternal afterlife. that would be a torture that is unimaginable even a day or 2 is unimaginable . but who is to say that couldn't happen since an afterlife is eternal forever? But in non-existence there is no risk of that happening nor any pain nor any problems

But in non-existence I know I won't feel any pain any boredom no torture nothing . I won't ever be hungry nor hav any problems. But they have most people believing and wanting an after life and not wanting non-existence and not believing in non-existence after death. Imo I guess only about 5% of the people are sure like I am that there is no afterlife on here it's higher but still many here are not sure.

There are no details no evidence of any afterlife . where is the power source?

 

[Black Sheep One]

Nothing: Just like when I fall asleep only forever long. Not all that bad.
Heaven: I get to reunite with all the people and animals that have passed before me. This is the greatest!
Reincarnation Human: Been there, done that. No thanks!
Reincarnation Animal: Becoming a cat, bird, horse, ect. Could be interesting.
Reincarnation Alien: Life on another planet far far way. I would not know nothing...
Hell: No thank!

I believe in Heaven.

 

[ToTheTwillight]

Honestly, do hope to reincarnate as someone who is able to succeed in this world, more so socially than financially, but obviously can do both is most ideal, if you are not gonna be the best of the best, then at least something realistic like that.

 

[SentimentalTrip]

I used to believe in the afterlife, but I don't anymore. And frankly, I don't want there to be an afterlife. I don't want to live for eternity. I don't want to be reincarnated. I just want to rest.

Edit: Upon retrospect, I actually WOULD like to be reincarnated, but only if I was reincarnated as a tall, attractive, charismatic, graceful, intelligent, and successful human being. I've always wanted to be those things, and I'm pretty much the polar opposite of those descriptors.

 

[leavingsoon99]

I only wish a beautiful dream for myself. If it can't be a more beautiful, eternal life, then I want nonexistence and peace.

 

[gulp]

void
the most pure expression of emptiness, i wish to never be there

 

[Ambivalent1]

Another kind of life but not eternal

 

[unnormal9]

Solace in the bliss of dreams.

 

[NoLoveNoHope]

I hope for an eternal void.
