Discussion Would you rather?

Just something random that popped in my head.

 

[Forever Sleep]

In the wonderful lyrics of Queen:

'Mama, ooh (any way the wind blows)
I don't wanna die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all'

I want to be dead but I don't want to have to experience death. It would have been so much better if I hadn't been born to begin with to spare me this problem.

 

[nightmother]

Third option is what came to my mind inmediately. My death now would be a burden for some people, so i guess i would choose to having to never bother anybody in the first place.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

Never being born. My main reason for wanting to be dead is to minimise the total cumulative amount of suffering that I would experience overall. If I wasn't born, the total cumulative amount of suffering that I would experience would be 0 for all eternity which, to me, is pure beauty and perfection

 

[LunarLight]

Answer 3 of course. Problem would have been solved on all scales. No SI, no pain, no fear to die, no regrets, no one to remember me and be sad because of my passing.

 

[TiredOfAllThis]

Number 3. There were a few good moments, but they hardly outweigh the pain and suffering.

 

[Agon321]

If I had never been born, I wouldn't have known that I didn't want it.
This is a bit ironic.

Of course, with hindsight, I can draw conclusions and say that this life is not for me.
And I regret that I was born.
But I had to find out for myself

I like to say that I have no problem with life.
I have a problem with what this life looks like.

At this point I want to be dead, but I don't want to blame the world for being born.
This is the turn of life.

The problem is we never know what recovery methods are around the corner.

If it was 100% definitely I can never recover, then certainly death is preferable.

 

[FuneralCry]

More than anything I wish I never existed at all, all that's ideal to me is being permanently unaware of the futile and harmful abomination that is existence. It's extremely tragic how humans so cruelly procreate even know there is never a need for existence with nobody ever being able to suffer from never existing.

Existence itself is the true problem and is something very evil as it's the source of all suffering, under no circumstances would I ever wish to exist as a conscious being who is capable of suffering to such extreme amounts. To simply exist is beyond undesirable in every way, I'm tired of being trapped in this hellish existence where there is no limit as to how torturous it can get.

For me I only wish for true peace and only not existing can bring me that, I don't want to suffer in any way and in existence there is endless potential to suffer. I never would have wanted or chosen existence, I see it as better to not exist no matter what.
