Discussion Do you want to be born again or simply to cease to exist?

[Suicide]

I would much rather cease to exist. Being born again Would make my even more meaningless than it already is.

 

[MindFog]

Grind my soul into dust and snort it, man. I don't care anymore.

 

[FreeAngel]

I want to cease to exist and not be reborn because this life is terrible

 

[mentalhealthfighter]

I'd like to be reborn as a handsome person without mental illness. Someone of high genetic quality. Then life would be worth it.

 

[Sullun]

Cease to exist, definitely. My only ambition now is to be completely forgotten. To tell you the truth, ctbing is simply the nearest I can get to what I really want. Were it up to me I would erase from creation and memory any trace that I ever existed. Since that is not possible I just have to find a way to end my life and embrace sweet oblivion.

 

[JustAnumber]

I'm trying to fix a problem that started over 30 years ago. Me being born!. I don't wish to be reborn, I don't wish to exist.

 

[Numbtopain97]

Cease to exist.

 

[lex]

I would like to be born again. I don't hate life, I just got unlucky. But then again, I'm also super terrified to be born again just because of all the horror that is going on in this world. You're never guaranteed to have a good life, our reality is pure chaos.

 

[Panna]

I'd be reborn as a diffrent person, in a different decade. I hate being me, in this time period, right now.

This exactly, myself will disappear and a more worthy person will hopefully take my conscious

 

[xkonstantinexx]

I'd like to be born the same person but not be bond to the same mistakes, that would be nice.

I share the same thoughts.

Should I be reborn, I'd like the knowledge to not make the same mistakes. As lovely as this thought is, I know it's nothing more than a rhetorical question but thinking about it gave me a short term sense of relief.

I am but a speck on the face of the Earth, my demise will have no significant impact on anything.

 

[Insomniac]

fun fact: when I first found this forum, I used to think that CTB meant "cease to be".

no I'd rather Cease To Exist.

 

[EWFTW11]

I wish the option to be reborn as someone else. Modern age, sure. But I wish to be reborn as someone who is put under different circumstances, actual natural talent, different genders...

Probably even a different personality, too.

 

[diyCTB]

Why to be reborn again? To start from scratch again? To pass all of the crap that doesn't even matter in a grand scheme of things?

It doesn't make sense to trade eternal tranquility of nothingness for life in a physical construct unless it's equivalent to above which means life free of suffering which can't be possible.

Unequivocally cease to exist!

 

[motel rooms]

Does anyone want to be reincarnated like this?

I agree in wishing to being born a different gender. In my case, being born a woman heart and soul as opposed male would be ultimate freedom. Simply physically changing oneself wouldn't bring any real kind of peace.

 

[SosoruzeDosukoi]

I don't want to go through life ever again, it's too tiring. If I get the courage to CTB, please let it be the end.

 

[xrafinha]

fun fact: when I first found this forum, I used to think that CTB meant "cease to be".

no I'd rather Cease To Exist.

That's funny. I first thought it meant cease to breathe.

 

[Painless_end]

Cease to exist. Why would I want to born again ?

This world is suffering and pain for me. Maybe most people will not agree with me.

But what is the point of living a life on this planet where you are in such emotional, mental, sometimes physical pain.

Even if I was born again and didn't have any of the problems I did now, I would still die some day right ?

So what would the point of living be in the first place ?

And no, I don't consider love or sex or any of that good enough for me to be enticed into living. My problems are deep and often I live on a mental razor's edge just to survive.

Why am I still living ? I am not in favor of imposing physical pain on myself that comes about in self-induced death.

But if CTB ever becomes common and painless and cheap like going to a restaurant, you will see me as the first one out of here.

I just listened to a podcast where they were talking about death. Someone said they'd like to live another 100 years. So life isnt suffering for everyone, we are just the unfortunate ones. Life can be good imo

 

[JaiLuLesCGU]

Life can be beautiful for some people, it is not difficult to fathom how some people enjoy living. If you have no money problem, no health condition, a great social circle, a partner who loves you, a great mindset it should be worthy even with all ups and downs everybody comes to experience.
But the thing is that they are the happy few. Many still live in extreme poverty where they struggle to survive, cannot fulfill their basic needs and even in developped countries many face isolation, depression (sociability is also a basic need) and so on. it is likely to be worse with the bleak future which awaits us (for those who chooses to live)
In terms of probability I would prefer not to exist again

 

[Futile]

Being born again but as an attractive person would be nice, to experience the life I didn't get to live in this one

 

[qwertylmno]

i want a world full of peace and beauty where this question wouldn't exist

 

[return2dreamland]

100% cease to exist, unless i'm born a completely different person.

 

[RedundantRecord]

Living to engage in meaningless consumption of experiences to have done it well is nothing I want to begin with. I do most certainly want cessation of existence, especially over anything that would mean more time alive with the same undesirable futility, because non-existence to me isn't a sacrifice in regards to anything else, it is my ideal.

 

[SuicidalAgain]

Eww, be born again? Cease to exist please. I've had enough fearing my mother's beliefs of reincarnation.

 

[whywhywhy]

Unlike most people here with horrible life circumstances as I read being reborn wouldnt change a goddamn thing for me. The problem I always had was me, my personality, how my brain works, who I am. It really doesnt matter how many chances am I been given but I just dont fit in this society. And if you want to live here without feeling like a reject all your life you have to fit somehow.

One of my biggest fears is that when I die i wont be free of this shit. Like imagine going to heaven and having to deal with this shit again.

Hell, people like to depict death as the most horrible thing that can happen to anyone but in reality death is the best thing the universe has. Like if we were inmortal and you were tortured every day until eternity it would be completely horrible. Death is a free escape that comes for everyone and prevents that from happening

 

[TwoTenEightyEight]

This question is somehow related to CTB, asking yourself, what do you want for yourself, to be born again, perhaps in other circumstances? Or simply to cease to exist?

For me, I would choose either one, both seem fine to me

In hell I'd be in good company!

Then again, I may be going to Heaven in a wheelbarrow.

Seriously, I expect nothingness; Nothingtown to Fuckallsborough - (I'll stop with the references now).

 

[Rae82]

I would like a redo, so I could try and do things differently to change the position I'm in now.
I don't believe there's anything after this life though. This is it, one go.

 

[BeautifulMosaics]

The only way I'd want to be reborn is if I was a person who was all for this life and so sold on it and all the external things that we're supposed to chase and be so impressed by. Otherwise, nah, it ain't worth it, and considering we Westerners are supposedly the "lucky ones" when a large percentage of the world is in poverty or a crap country; it's a joke... If this tiny percentage of humanity's experiences is the best it gets.

 

[nautilus]

I always had these strange intuitions about life that this new theory of biocentrism backs up. Its just a theory - but its backed up by some quantum experimemts and Lanza is confident the math will back it up. Basically, time and space are illusions of the mind, in order to make sense of things. Multiverses. The fact that you are still doing all the things you've done in your life right now - you just can't perceive that they are stilk going on currently. I don't know if it brings tremendous comfort though. Im very attatchedd to this world as much as things turned out fucked for me. I love my friends and family dearly. The thought of my conciousness jumping to another universe and another life isn't that reassuring if that's how it works. Apparently, if true, eventually you would be you again, like you are now, but with slight differences in the ways things play out. You would eternally experience all possible things that coukd ever happen - all ways of being. I'm not saying it's true but it resonates with my intuition. I just wanted a life with my loved ones, my cat, etc... that would not fuck up so horribly at this late stage. I'm really hurting and now my mind drawn to these existential quandaries that bring no comfort really.
