Discussion Would you do the human experience over again or no?

[Journeytoletgo]

I would

 

[fatefulstillness]

Once is more than enough for me. No, thank you.

 

[Mashedout]

Only if the other option was something much worse and this was the lesser poison. Otherwise absolutely not. Given a choice I never want to see this world again.

 

[pawzee]

What are the conditions for doing it over again?

Do you have to start over with the exact same body and disease? In that can I'll say no thank you but if not then I would definitely do it again. I have a lot of things that I still want to do but I wont get the opportunity.

 

[markimobzzdeasui]

If there is some choice or something that still remains after I ctb, then never ever again in a million years! I am seriously hoping that nothing is there and this life was just a mistake and I was a cosmic aberration. And when I die, that is hopefully the end. Life is a really cruel dark joke for me. And the worst part is that,you can never know the dark truth until you have gone through the required experiences and after that it seems inevitable and too late.

 

[ClownMe]

No, id never do it again even if I was guaranteed a great life.

 

[Al Cappella]

No chance. I'd come back as a fruit bat…

 

[FuneralCry]

Absolutely not. I do not want anything to do with life at all, existence itself is the cause of all pain and suffering. I just want non existence, I do not want to be anyone or anything. Simply being conscious is torture. I want to fall into an eternal, dreamless sleep, peace is what I deserve.

 

[Foresight]

Oh God no. I'm out. I've seen enough.

[miserableforever]

Yes. It was my choices that ruined my life, I'm smarter now.

 

[O_oreo.]

Even if I was in a contest and the prize was money for repeating the experience, I would desist, or there would be a barter, much less, I would definitely not go back to this.

 

[L0cker]

Not if it involves people . They always let you down

 

[wrybuzzard]

Not a chance, to go back and risk being born into another abusive family...no way!

 

[AnestheticVoid]

No thank you.

 

[GentleJerk]

Nope! Old age, disease, pain, suffering, and death? No fleeting pleasure, no amount of kittens and ice cream is worth it. I'd tell myself and anyone else thinking about it, it's a trap!!

I might feel like coming back if I could save other people, but I'm selfish and wouldn't want another round of mortality.

 

[Musketeer]

If i actually had a shot at happiness yes, i was abused as a child and my physical and mental health suffered for it.

 

[ImpulsiveFreak]

Man if i got to keep this same brain as I did before with the same shit happening around me then def not! Better for just everything to stop.

 

[Squalo]

next time I'll be reborn on another planet. the Earth sucks.

 

[dreadpirateroberts69]

Yeah, I'm good

 

[Someone123]

I would if I had better lcuk- I was extremely unlucky with my parenst and with the meanness of certain kids around me, and this really threw me out in life. There were also some very nice kids around me but because of home traumatic home life was I didn't have the social skills to be able to tell the nice on es from the mean ones and then to connect with the nice ones- the mean ones were good at pretneding to be nice so they could get closer and hurt you more. From what I have learned in many years as an adult I wish I had an hour to go back and coach myself as a kid, then my life would have turned out very well.

 

[Talvikki]

That would be a big fat NO!

I'm sorry you been through that. I experienced the same during my teens didn't know who to befriend and not to befriend. I lost social skills as well during my teens and never recovered and had horrible traumatic event after event and the first guy I was with was a very bad guy who shaped my view of others causing me to self sabotage and be distrustful of others

 

[Dr Iron Arc]

I'd rather be some other species. Humans may be the dominant species but being born as one is more likely to be painful unless you can guarantee being extremely rich in a well off country but even then being rich and powerful will just make you less resistant to actual hardship if that occurs later in life. If you're born not knowing just how much worse it can get, the human hedonistic treadmill will just leave you longing for even greater amounts of power and wealth that probably couldn't be realistically obtained. Basically it's very unlikely your existence as a human will actually be happy.

Some animals on the other hand don't actually care. Things like mayflies, male anglerfish, etc their only goal is to breed and then die. That's really all I'd want out of life if I ever have to be reincarnated.

Perhaps the best possible existence would be as a house cat because you're basically the most likely to be spoiled and treated like a god in that situation depending on who owns you.

 

[Leiden]

That's a hard no

 

[Crazy4u]

Your answer is so surprising. I was following some of your posts and you seemed very sad.

My answer is definitely not.

 

[Nolan96]

I'd ask for a magnifying glass and read over all 600 pages of small print of what that'd consist of a few dozen times before carefully deciding.

 

[Lost Magic]

Yeah, I would want to come back to a world of famine, war, greed, injustice, poverty, disease and stupidity. What a wonderful idea!

 

[pthnrdnojvsc]

I would

No. Never again never never ever . i've suffered enough, i've seen more than enough of this so called "wonderful life and world" . Actually it's just a world of evil and lies , and a life of pain and suffering and constant problems. Who wants pain, suffering, lies, disease,old age ,dementia, sweating under a brutal life and constant problems? Yuck not me . Sweet non-existence is my goal.

Non-existence for me is so far beyond better than anything. It's my salvation , the solution to all my problems and fears and escaping coming torture at once and more. It's my precious, the one ring, the infinity guantlet, the ultimate nullifier all rolled into one and more.

 

[Somber]

I'm in love with the concept of human life. It looks very fun and enjoyable. But that's an outsider's perspective.

While everyone will know some hardships - probably a requirement in order to learn to appreciate the good times - for some people the negative experiences far outweigh the positive.

Existing does not equate living though. Yes to living, no to merely existing.
