What is the real advantage of being alive?

[Brayu]

First, my reason for being here is not philosophical (I really have health and personal problems).

But what's the real thing about being alive? People are so afraid of dying and when they see news of young people dying (because of being involved in crime or whatever) they say "but he sought this". My God, what's the point of being alive anyway? because those who died would be worse than us (and you can't even assume that everyone "went to hell").

For me, being alive even has some anesthetics, like having a family, traveling, having a comfortable life (if I have money)... but even that is just painkillers, it doesn't improve the fact that I'm breathing and full of obligations, traumas , etc...

And I'm deprived of all these painkillers, so I'm desperate.

According to me, it depends on how strong of a desire you have towards doing something in your life that is achievable for your personal growth. If it is doable for you, you get a sense of personal satisfaction after having achieved it. And you get to form meaningful relationships with people you care about along the way.

That's about the only "advantage".

There's really no other advantages if you cannot tolerate the pain of daily existence.

It all depends on where you are mentally in your life and also if your basic needs are being taken care of along the way.

There is no advantage, it's just SI forcing people to live.

Getting to die eventually is a pretty big advantage.

Anime's the only advantage. That goes away assuming you get isekaied if you commit self KD stopper, because then you become the anime.

Life is just a pointless experience that we go through for the sake of it, we are only here because people decided to selfishly procreate. There is no advantage to being alive, existence is pain and suffering. We were all perfectly fine not existing until we were forced to live. All of our problems are caused by the fact that we exist in the first place. Life is completely unneccesary. More than anything I wish I never existed. I believe that people who want to live in a world like this are delusional.

Most people are so afraid of their own death and their dearest death that they will do anything to avoid it - they are in denial of death. But I think that is stupid because people must accept that death is a part of life - we must die of something. Many people live too long in the society of today and therefore death becomes a problem.

The thing about today's society is that everyone has a chance to live, no matter what kind of social or financial circumstances that we find outselves in. Therefore, we have the luxury of contemplating questions like this.

Long ago, we didn't have the luxury of thinking about the next day, even, because we were busy running from lions, bears or whatever was the external threat at the time. So - as I see it - we are too comfortable today to appreciate life. Having said this, I don't think that life itself is worth anything, but the point is that we who live today simply live for what we have grown to expect out of life, which can be anything from a family life, to riches, to an adventurous life travelling all over the world.

In the end, any advantages that you get out of life has to outweigh the disadvantages in order for your life to be worthwhile. This sense of life being worthwhile is deeply personal, but if you ask me, life is just a temporary existence between two different kinds of eternities.
