Discussion Why does it hurt?

We live less than 90 years on average. World will keep moving after we are gone. Lots of people in ancient civilizations probably had depression and wished to die, but now they are dead. Their problems don't matter anymore.

Why do we feel so much suffering if nothing matters? And SI is so stupid, it could be over so quickly but we have SI stopping us from resting peacefully.

I wanna die.

Let's say we do live 90 years. That is a very long time if life is miserable. People say life is short but no it isn't

I really understand, simply just existing is so torturous to me and I suffer so much as a result of being conscious in this terrible, dreadful existence I just always saw as a mistake, all that existence ever does is just cause harm and suffering all for the sake of it torturing existing beings and it's all just so unnecessary.

Existence to me really is the most devastating, terrible tragedy and it's so horrible to me how humans choose to impose this pain and suffering onto others all for the sake of it with no limit as to how much one can suffer, all I envy are those who are no longer burdened with this existence, non-existence is all I see as positive. To be permanently at peace from all dreadful suffering is all I've ever hoped for, existence is the problem to me, I'll always see it as an abomination to suffer in this existence, I always suffer so unbearably from existing in this horrific world where humans do all they can to prolong the suffering and torture of existing.

I suppose because we are susceptible to pain in many forms. Physical pain but then also, immense psychological and emotional distress. Plus- we are wired to take more notice of negative emotions because they may point towards things that threaten our survival.
