At first, the title was going to be: "Everyone should be loved for merely existing". But I realized that's not really it. The fact of the matter is, existence itself is painful.
Being loved for the fact of merely existing sounds nice, sure, but it still wouldn't solve a lot of the pain that comes with existence. And what would "being loved" imply? It's super hypothetical, anyway. But if it implied people feeling for each other all the time and never any selfishness in any way from anyone to anyone... would that stop trauma, for example? Well, if everyone loved each other simply for existing, there wouldn't be any more trauma, right? If depression and trauma come from human relationships, and human relationships are built on pure love... maybe there wouldn't be more of those?
One might argue that some people simply don't deserve love. But that's why I thought what if this love is mutual, reciprocal? Nobody would cause harm to others. We'd simply exist... to be loved.
But then how would the physical world look like? Would there still be diseases, natural disasters, and other kinds of external, physical stuff that also causes so much suffering? Would they be tolerable enough, because we love each other and support each other unconditionally?
People say and even criticize me for spending a lot of time imagining worlds that don't exist. Well, that's simply how my mind works.
Maybe it can be shortened to this: the ideal world where we're happy just by existing doesn't exist. So as it stands, existence is painful (because all that exists is pain) and anything that could exist... simply doesn't exist.
So I wish to simply disappear and stop existing.
