Would you be happy if their was another life after this

[Ghostofthepast]

I personally hope not I have suffered so much as it is the thought of life after death makes me sad I always though of it as it's like before your born you don't really realize your gone

 

[reverse03]

Nope, if there's a place after this I just want it to be a perfect world for me. But I don't want to go through another go in this life.

 

[wait.what]

Oh good Lord, no. Nothingness suits me fine. Western people who talk about reincarnation tend to ignore the bit in the Hindu/Buddhist source material about how being reborn is a great misfortune, and the entire point is to avoid having that happen.

Imagine coming back to this place again and again and again for most of eternity … I don't get how anyone can find that idea reassuring.

I don't want to spend years of another life trying to figure out how to successfully suicide all over again so no.

 

[Fadeawaaaay]

No more lives … I'm exhausted

 

[oneeyed]

If there's another life after death then I would somehow have to find a way to warn my future selves and stock pile a proven ctb method (say for example bottles of N) and have each life commit suicide until the caretaker gets the hint and deletes my program.

 

[WhiteRabbit]

I would love to come back if the next life is better than the one I have now.

It really depends. If its the candy land full of rainbows that religions claim, then yes, without a doubt, but if god exists and despite all this crap, I meet the requirements, then still I don't think I'd be allowed in the cloud kingdom or wtf ever. If this god person exists, then he/she must really hate me. However, I'm leaning towards the atheist side. I think it's a really stupid idea that puts false hope in peoples head and stops them from having fun. Believing in God is extremely damaging. If you're around a believer you've likely been told, "God helps those who help themselves" "God only gives us what we can handle" "You hear god with your heart" "Just have faith(and probably something about things turning out for the better because of god.etc)" "All good things come from god" your life circumstances are "part of god's plan" .etc Everything there is extremely untrue of how the world works.

1."god helps those who help themselves"-first of all, I try to help myself all the time and my life is still garbage. I've been bullied and fired at almost every job I've taken. I joined a workforce program for 9 weeks at a great job where people were kind. But it turns out they can only hire me 1 day a week and my parents are forcing me to move out in 4 months, so thats not an option. I have very few choices with my intellectual disability and the salary I need requires a lot of mental demand or physical labor and I can't really give either and not burn out. I'm in school too, but can only afford most of an associate degree and there are few design jobs out there without a bachelors, Once we add my retardation to the mix, that pretty much sets me up for either never finding anything or having no choice but to take on too much and getting bullied and fired. I could save up for the User interface design program at career foundry, but that's WEBDesign basically and I 1. suck at technology and 2. UH HELLO! I'm RETARDED?! Those technology geeks are sporting iqs of at least 110. My mild retardation is 80 something maybe less. Meaning I could only do about 70 percent of that job at my full mental capacity. Who uses their full mental capacity ALL THE TIME?! Thats how you burn out. I have no good choices no matter what I do. Does that sound like divine intervention to you?! No. Unless that divine intervention is the middle finger in my face.

2. "God only gives us what we can handle" -If I could handle my circumstances, I wouldn't be on here looking for the methods thread. Unless you want to suggest this isn't from god, in which you would imply that god doesn't control reality. That statement would contradict the gods plan quote that Christians like to throw around. So Which is it?! Is god not able to help anyone (There's no point in praying) OR Does god pick a few people, give them a dream life and then fuck perfectly nice people like me over and dangle the privileged in front of my face for some cruel reason? Yeah, explain Jesus freaks. Explain.

3. "You hear god with your heart" My heart says this life hasn't been good for 18.5 out of the 23.5 years I've lived it and it will only get worse because of the abuse and termination that keeps happening at jobs. My parents are forcing me out, so I face possible homelessness and a lot of stress. I'm not talented, intelligent or qualified enough to succeed in graphic design or User Interface design. So I have no hope or faith. And if I did, it wouldn't change anything.

4. "Just have faith(and probably something about things turning out for the better because of god.etc) Bringing me the next point: Faith is giving yourself delusional hope that will result in disappointment later. There's a certain point when faith reaches its limits, and you have to start protecting yourself emotionally. Things don't get better for some people and believing something outlandish just because it's reassuring, isn't going to change that. So many very stupid people believe that it will though.

5. "All good things come from god" your life circumstances are "part of god's plan" Wow well since the only good thing I have is my friends and I acquired them by being a nice person and attracting another nice person and that person's friends, then that tells me god gave me nothing. And to think all this crap is what god wants for me: being retarded having pcos ( a metabolic condition that makes me physically uncomfortable, very fat regardless of what I do and makes my mood disorders worse) then god must really have it out for me. Oh and to top it off(I know you're all thinking that I'm either down on myself or lying about being retarded) NO ONE believes me when I say I'm retarded and they have these high expectations of me in jobs and stuff and I can't meet any of them. God must want to drive me away, so he doesn't have to spend eternity with me. Or God doesn't exist. I grew up with very religious parents who tried to brain wash me and I figured out the truth for what it was. This life is garbage and religion has damaged me so much. I wish my parents had been atheist's and just told me the truth. And the sad thing is, I feel like because of my upbringing, I need something to cling onto and reassure me, but there's nothing stable. The closest thing is ctb and if there was another life where everything is okay. But I know everyone who thinks there is believes in the god who either doesn't exist or exists and will send me to hell regardless. I want to just never have existed to begin with.

[jodes2]

God I hope there isn't an afterlife. I just know it would be even worse. I just want rest. Nothingness. Forever. I was fine before I was born

 

[Jadzia]

No!

 

[outrider567]

No

 

[Forever Sleep]

No thanks.

 

[Destiny Calls Me]

Joining the NO train. I hope there is nothing after. No heaven nor hell, nothing.

 

[Unending]

This is probably one of the scarier things to think about. I say no more to life once I am deceased!

 

[FuneralCry]

I find the thought of any kind of life after this one to be something so horrific. Of course I wouldn't be happy. I just want to cease to exist and be completely unaware of everything, the thought of that is so incredibly ideal to me and is what I see as being perfection. I simply just despise life itself and that is what I've always had a problem with. There is no need to be conscious and aware of anything and it would had been better off if life was never a thing at all. But I really do believe that we just cease to exist after we die and that thought is the only thing that could ever be close to a comfort.

 

[peacetime]

Well, I just checked my IC SN shipment and it still hasn't been sent. Shame. The only excitement I have in life is getting that, having it on me. I've been having other thoughts but damn, I'm just thinking I'll be mixing two drinks and chugging it right away.

The good thing about SN is you pass out and never wake up. I don't want to wake up in another life either. Not existing suits me fine, existence hasn't really been my thing.

 

[Jarni]

No.

Because even if I am a beautiful rich man with good health having access to euthanasia when I want, - daily work, old age, (risks of) illnesses, disabilities, love problems, finitude, bad people, human vices and egoism will always be very big issues.

Can you send me the sellers info?

 

[StruggleWithin]

Absolutely not.

 

[molassesmorasses]

If the next one is better I'd be okay with it (don't have a choice, given how reincarnation is supposed to work), but I don't know that I could go through another painful, long childhood.

 

[Secrets1]

Not life on earth. I'd love to exist in the ethers with my dogs and other family.

 

[LadyApple]

HELL NO.

 

[theboy]

NO

 

[LadyApple]

and fuck this filthy world.

 

[Wannagonow]

Nope! This one has been miserable as hell. Not doing another one! I would like it if there was some kind of heaven. But not holding out that that's gonna be an option. Time to go somewhere though.

 

[Scythe]

Oh, hell no, at least not as a human. I wouldn't want to be most animals either, so maybe somewhere not here would be fine.

 

[Samsara]

Absolutely not. I want my consciousness, in any form, to simply cease to exist because consciousness inevitably seems to involve some level of pain and suffering, and I'm not willing to risk the pain outweighing pleasure as it has in this life.

 

[Heartbroken2022]

Not really.
Too much struggle and when it seems you are absolutely happy, anything can happen to destroy it all. Under these terms, absolutely NO.

I would instead prefer to be alive as a plant or as a bacteria, not thinking, not feeling anything.

 

[aforestfire]

i don't appreciate thinking about it, actually i would be pissed off if i died just to discover that isn't over yet lol that'd be torture.
