Discussion Would you still feel the need to CTB if you had a purpose?

yes

My only purpose was to be a dad. Now with the prospect of that being taken away from me hanging over my head, I'm ready to CTB.

Yes, purpose is everything. No point in me staying in this universe... in this form... if I find nothing sufficiently important to do here

I just posted about purpose in life. The world needs re-enchantment. Recently, many societies push hard to bureaucratize away anything meaningful. Destroying everyone but the dullest normies

I fully believe I have a purpose. I have friends who would lay down their life for me. I have goals and desires and I feel fairly confident in that purpose. I still want to CTB. Which makes me feel so much more shame for saying so. I feel like I am being absolutely selfish (even though of course I disagree with that notion fully), and that's what makes it hard for me sometimes.

At the same time, when I really zoom out and look at my life: I have been given a very rare, very awful hand. Nobody will ever understand the depth of the suffering that goes on in my brain.

Having everything does not necessarily mean you have anything at all.
