No matter how bitter or sweet life is. No matter what I have, I don't want to exist. I always carry the pain of existing inside me. Now I want to end my life and wait for my soul to disappear when I die.
I have read many articles about suicide and I have seen the advice you have given to other members, but I am not helpless and I see it as a choice.
Is life really for everyone? No matter what one has, doesn't one still want to die? If I am going to be reincarnated, there is no point in committing suicide. I want to disappear completely.
There is no shortage of pain in life. I know. I also know the desire to disappear all too well. But life is all there is, and whatever this is that you are experiencing, is not all that life is. Life is everything and more.
Without life you can never experience the rest of the spectrum of sensations. Whether that's the smell of rain, the mysterious sight of fog rolling in the hills in the twilight, the feeling of the sun on your skin, or the relief when an illness or anxiety or grief passes, or the sensation of expansion that comes with overcoming one's self or one's mountain, or the temporal and almost naive/innocent feeling of wellness that comes with authentic connection with another being, or the comforting dreaminess of fantasy, of potentiality.
The pure nothingness of death is difficult to describe. I believe I had a taste of it and it is not what you think it is. There is no relief here. There is no potentiality, there is no
is, there is no
was,
could, or
will be. There are no more questions, but there will never be any answers either.
It is the smallest, most vacuous nothing that there is, even a vacuum is more substantial because a vacuum is still relative to a non-vacuum, the presence of
something, the very concept of
something, somewhere.
To choose final death would be to sacrifice literally everything, past, present and all possible futures, all for absolute nothing. The ultimate price paid for no quantifiable reward whatsoever. Pain is gone, sure, but so is everything that is good and pleasant, forever.
Nihilism is a disease and it always leads to death. You have the power to heal yourself from it. You can alter your outlook to approach life in a saturnine/capricorn way, accepting the reality of pains and limitations in life but pushing against it and seeking to climb the rocky mountainous path ahead of you, for the sake of building something
more.
Climb your mountain in search of meaning, of insight, of new experiences and new perspectives. Climb for understanding and awareness and the sake of self-overcoming.
Reach the summit so that you can empower others to reach their summits, to show them that they, too, can reach new heights no matter how low their beginnings, and to share the lessons you lived and learned along the way.
Do it out of rebellion against the decaying, entropic forces of nature. Do it to prove that you are not fate's plaything, to prove that your destiny is in your hands, that you are not your programming and that you can choose life and shape it with your own two hands and enjoy it in spite of death's efforts to claim you before your time is up.
Do it because you want to be remembered fondly, because you would want people to mourn your loss and smile at your memory, and because you don't want to leave your people behind with guilt, confusion, and regret.
You think death would be your choice, but you would not be making a rational decision so much as passively giving into pain. Choose life.
